Internet Marketing Domains and Websites

You already know that the best way to turn over a serious amount of cash in a small amount of time is through turnkey websites and domain names. How long would it take you to create a serious website worth its price on the open market? On average it can take anywhere from one to three weeks. Of course, you could use a script to build it, but then where would you find it and how reputable would the provider be? X10Media has an outstanding reputation for providing exactly the kinds of scripts to get your website up and running in a matter of minutes. In mere hours you will have a polished website ready to hit the market.

What do you need to prepare for the sale? Put together the url or domain name, the registrar of the domain, the hosting company contact info, monthly traffic analysis, including impression and other statistics. Of course your Google page rank might help the sale and any Alexa demographic data can be a clincher for the sale. All of this data can also affect the sale price, for better or worse. A little paint can pretty it up enough to entice the buyer as well, so do not skip coordinating the colors and placing custom headers, footers, logo and menus.

Purchasing Domains and Websites

There are many reasons to buy a domain or website. Maybe you would like to work a few for a network in an ad campaign to drive traffic to your primary site. Perhaps you see a future in a certain domain name you have run across at x10Auctions.com. For whatever fantastic reasons you have for venturing into this purchase, you will want to verify the domain's ownership before purchasing it. Only buy directly from the owner. Legitimacy cannot be over-emphasized here. Page rank and statistics are the most often faked data of such a sale. Be sure they are true. Check them out at Google, Alexa and similar services.

One of the safest ways to buy and sell domains and websites is to search out a dependable partner, one you can trust in a trade. In your case, it is definitely x10Auctions.com. They are dedicated to creating an honest and equitable environment in which trades can be made with confidence and certainty. X10Auctions.com is your partner in online buying and selling of websites and domains.

The first thing is your price. I don't know how some marketers come up with the prices that they do, but a price that is either too low or too high isn't going to convert as well as a price that is just right. And this requires testing. However, the point is, your copywriter can only work with the price that you give him to work with. If you're determined to sell your widget for $47 when everybody else is selling theirs for $27, you're probably not going to make as many sales.

After price, there is your guarantee. Now I realize that if you're selling your product through Clickbank that you're stuck with their 60 day guarantee. However, if you can, by increasing your guarantee length, you can, in many cases, increase your conversions. I sometimes offer 6 month or even 1 year guarantees on my products. This is another thing that is beyond the copywriter's control. He can only work with the guarantee that you give him.

Then of course there are your bonuses, or lack thereof. Like it or not, most people expect to get bonuses when they buy something. That's just the nature of the beast. So if you don't offer any, that's going to hurt your conversions. But you can't just offer any old bonuses. You have to offer bonuses that are really worth something. Again, this is something that is out of the control of your copywriter.

Finally, there are your testimonials. Some people just don't know how to give them. They'll send you something that is so lame, it's not even worth putting in print. Well, guess what? Your copywriter can't do anything about these. You can't fudge testimonials. You have to print them just as you get them.

So before you start throwing stones at your copywriter, take a good look at these four items. They may be the REAL reason why your conversions are in the toilet.

PLR stands for Private Label Rights, but you already knew that. What you probably don't know is that PLR is one of the most misunderstood and misused items in Internet marketing today. That's right...people just don't know how to use it properly.

The reason is because they think they can just pull it out of the box as is, slap it up on their web site and sell it...WRONG! That is the worst way to use your PLR material.

See, people think that the value of PLR is that the writing has already been done for you. Again, WRONG. The real value of PLR is that the RESEARCH has been done for you. That's where the true worth comes in.

Think about it. You decide that you want to break into a new niche, say health. Maybe you want to write about acne. Well, you don't know anything about it, so what do you have to do? Well, for starters, you have to do research...tons of it.

What's tons?

You have to find out what acne is, what causes it, what the standard treatments are and so on. This research can take you days if not weeks. By the time you get around to actually creating your product, you've wasted one month of your life.

Why do I say wasted?

Because let's just say that you find a PLR product on acne where all of this information, all this research, has already been done for you. What is then left for YOU to do?

I'll tell you what...almost nothing.

Notice I said almost. See, you do have to rewrite the PLR slightly and make some other minor changes, but the time you will spend doing this is nothing next to the amount of time you would have had to spend doing the initial research.

This is basically the misunderstanding that people have about PLR. You can't just buy it and sell it. But by following a simple procedure, you can turn your PLR into absolute gold.

How so?

My friend John Rhodes purchased PLR for about $10 and turned around and made well over $200 from it in a very short time, simply by doing a few rewrites.

If you want more info on how to really turn your PLR into massive cash, check out John's new product PLR EXPLOITATION which may be the definitive product on such subject yet. John leaves nothing out. I know...I helped write it.

PLR gets a bad rap, but with this product, you can turn YOUR PLR into a gold mine too.

To YOUR PLR Success,

PLR EXPLOITATION

Fortunately for me, I have dial up as well. Oh yes, I don't just rely on one way to get onto the Internet. You never know what's going to happen. So as a result, even though I'm working a little slower than usual, I am still able to get my daily chores done and even write this article, which you are reading now.

And this is just one of the many areas, Internet connection, where things can and do go wrong. So the question I put forth to you today is simple. Do you have a backup plan? If something goes wrong with a part of your business, do you have something to fall back on? And I'm not just talking about a temporary thing like an Internet connection going down. I'm talking about when a whole business model goes up in flames.

Think it can't happen? Remember all those made for Adsense sites that were all the craze about 2 years ago? Well, guess what? After Google cracked down on those crappy pages, people who were making hundreds of thousands of dollars a month were suddenly out of business. So make no mistake about it...business models DO crumble.

So again I ask...do you have a backup plan? More to the point, are you diversified or do you have all your eggs in one basket? I have so many different product lines out there that I can't even keep track of them all. But at least I don't have to worry if one of them stops selling.

It's certainly something to think about.

If you're having trouble even thinking of one business to run, let alone several, you might want to sit down and think of other niches to get into besides the one you're stuck in. It doesn't take long to do niche research and get some ideas. As a matter of fact, I have a free book that will show you just how to do niche research and pick out a niche that has the potential to be profitable. You can find it in my signature.

Point is, you don't want to be waking up one day and find that your bread and butter has turned into dust.

Niche Research In Plain English

Here are four very easy ways to make some money online. Taking this route is probably the best if you're not starving for money because like everything it takes a bit of time...with the exception of #4 and we'll get to that.

1. Everyone can write an article and submit it. Everyone has something they are knowledgeable about or is an "expert" in some field. If you have a basic understanding of the English language, spelling and grammar you can do this and write for Associated Content.com They pay all US residents anywhere from $3 to $20 per submitted and approved articles. You can also earn money for x amount of page views.

2. Taking surveys. I think this one is a bit trickier as surveys come to you depending on demographics and your profile. Now, be careful you're not joining survey sites with the compensation of gift certificates or sweepstakes, unless this is what you don't mind. Focus groups pay a lot more so it's good to look into those as well.

3. Paid to do offers, paid to click and paid to read emails. There are some very reputable paying ones. Back in my days when I first started online and I didn't know better, "paid to" was one of my make-easy-money-now ventures. Every so often I made my Starbucks hot chocolate money. It wasn't all that bad except it was time consuming. It was good chump change.

4. Craigslist. Have anything to sell? Furniture? Sporting goods? Toys? Books? I have found selling in your own city or state, items go fast! You don't have to be moving to have a moving sale. It just makes the items sell faster. An easy $100 for the computer hutch and computer chair you have sitting in your basement collecting dust? This is some pretty decent chump hefty change!

Yes there are ways to make easy money online now with a little experience and a whole lot of patience!

We do this naturally and we do it almost every single day. When you recommend a favourite work at home website, rave about a great marketing e-book, share a new business adventure or talk about a new product with such enthusiasm you are spreading the word. One friend will tell another and so on and so on. Word of mouth is still one of best free advertising tools today.

Signature advertising is by far the single easiest methods available. Use it in forums (where it is permitted) and emails. A signature file or sig file is a text of information about your business that may include your name, your email address, telephone number and other pertinent information. The link is automatically appended to outgoing emails and internet postings (forums). Signature advertising creates one way back links to your business or website and drives targeted traffic to your website.

Writing articles have proven time and time again how powerful and effective it really is. It drives traffic to your website creating more exposure, you gain more incoming links and you get higher ranking in search engines. The more traffic you receive the more profits you make, but it's only effective if you write quality articles rich in keywords and keyword phrases and provide useful information. Otherwise, no one will want to re-print them and your resource box like a signature file is null and pointless.

From community forums to social networking sites such as Ryze, Facebook, MySpace, Adland Pro etc. networking groups is taking its place among the other great free advertising options. It's a place to gather, meet, share, discuss, inform and learn about various businesses. The same can be said for networking marketing in the real world where you can meet in person at various venues.

There are many different avenues to explore and promote your business online or offline, but when it comes to free advertising these are the four methods that have proven to be on the top of the list for being successful and effective.

Happy New Year Everyone!

I am taking a brief time out from my usual ramblings posts to fill you in on this Nitro Marketing thing that's going around. I am sure you're all wondering if it's the real deal.

Before I answer that, let me tell you what I think of most of the stuff in the "make money online" niche.

It's crap!

It has gotten to the point where I just don't buy anything anymore. Everything is either rehashed or just plain awful. That's why I busted my butt to create products that are actually of value. I was convinced that there was nothing out there worth spitting on.

Boy...was I wrong!

Nitro Marketing is the product I wish I had created if I had the time and the manpower. Yes, it took a team to put this thing together and it shows.

In a nutshell, Nitro Marketing is everything that took me a painful 4 years to learn...all wrapped up in one tidy package. It is step by step...just the way my products are...which is partially why I like it so much. For the new person, this is a blueprint that has to work IF you put in the time. I will get to more of that later.

The core of Nitro Marketing is the box principal. This is where they essentially give you a flowchart with all these boxes that need to be filled in order to fully take advantage of your business.

Now, the beauty of this is that you DON'T have to fill ALL the boxes. One person, with just 2 boxes filled, is generating an income of $20,000 a month. I only have a few boxes filled and my monthly income is about $10,000 a month.

Yes, I use this system. I have used it LONG before somebody actually came out with it and I can honestly say that it works.

But...

Let me tell you...I put in some long days. I work very hard to make my business succeed. Maybe if I took the time to fill in more of those boxes, I'd do better. I am going to start working on them. Finding out that somebody actually put all this together has inspired me to want to do even better myself.

I can honestly say, and I am putting my reputation on the line here, that I have never seen anything like the Nitro Marketing system in my 4 years of Internet marketing...and that includes my OWN products. Yeah, I'm damn jealous.

I strongly recommend that you at least go to the URL below and read as much as you can there. Sign up for the free reports. They give you more info for free than most ebooks charge you for.

Here are a couple of links so you can see the great videos and read their "dirty laundry" report.

Steven Wagenheim
