Run a Business Blogging on the Internet
December 14, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
One very popular choice for a home-based Internet business is to become what is known as a blogger. Blogging involves setting up your own website and then filling it, day by day, with a chronological series of articles, reviews or diary style writings, which can generate cash via allowing companies to place advertisements on your site, or incorporating affiliate marketing on the blog.
Most blogs combine text with images, links to other blogs and web pages, and various other media in some way related to the blog’s topic or topics. Most blogs are interactive, allowing readers to make comments. The most common form of blog is the personal one; which is a form of ongoing diary or commentary by an individual. Some of these blogs can gain quite an extensive following, though it is rare that they will enter the mainstream and become truly popular.
Other kinds of blog are corporate or business blogs (used for the purposes of marketing or public relations) and genre blogs (focused exclusively on one particular topic be it politics, art, music, or some other niche). Blogging has exploded in popularity in recent years, and while anyone and everyone can set up blogs, many mainstream writers and journalists have also created their own blog sites.
There are many ways to make money via your blog, and that money can range from pocket money to a little more spending money per week and for some of the most wildly successful bloggers, a replacement for their full time job. This can happen as a result of advertising and affiliate marketing on your blog, from such sources as Google AdSense, Amazon Associates, various miscellaneous advertising or affiliate programs, and even private advertising sales or sponsorships.
There are even some sites out there that compensate bloggers directly for writing about their products or services or other websites. Of course, all the advertising, affiliate programs or indeed blogging in the world isn’t going to do you much good if no one is reading your blog (and thus clicking on those adverts) in the first place. So how can you get your little blog noticed out there on the World Wide Web?
Making sure your blog is well written and offers quality content is a good start. Ensure that the blog contains lots of links, to other articles, to other related sites, YouTube videos etc. Include pictures in your blog and be sure to add your blog to the lists of free blog directories such as Blog Catalog.
Feed your blog to Feedburner. This allows your readers to get email notifications when you have posted something new. If you write on other sites, including social networking sites, link to your blog at every opportunity. Create an email signature that links to your blog, thus ensuring that every person who receives an email from you has the opportunity to immediately visit your site. Comment on other people’s blogs so that the trackbacks will lead back to your own.
Learning to run a successful blog can seem to like an intimidating and overwhelming feat at first, but if you can master the art, it can be an effective way of generating extra income.

Ten Reasons to Consider Copywriting
November 18, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Looking to chuck that full-time job for a life of full-time writing? Or maybe you’ve already dumped the day job but aren’t quite as busy as you’d like to be. Why not take a closer look at copywriting?
Copywriting, also known as business or promotional writing, can do more than put a few extra bucks in your wallet — it can also help you develop as a writer. Here are ten reasons why:
1. Copywriting pays well. Actually it can pay very well. I know copywriters who easily make six figures in a year. That’s because copywriters charge by the hour rather than the by the word or page. Beginning copywriters usually start at $25 or $30 an hour, but if they’re good (or good at asking for what they’re worth — a rare trait in writers but one definitely worth developing) they can quickly move to $45 to $75 an hour. Senior copywriters charge well over $100 an hour.
Now you probably won’t start at $100 an hour, but even a few small jobs at $30 an hour can really boost your bottom line.
2. Copywriting pays you before begin working. Yes, you heard right. You can actually ask for a deposit before you start writing. (What other kind of writing allows you to do that?) Moreover, your clients will EXPECT this.
Deposits range from one-third to one-half of your estimated fee. You can also arrange it where you get paid throughout the process — i.e. one-third in the beginning, one-third with the first draft and one-third when you deliver the final product.
3. Copywriting fits into your schedule. Don’t want to do it full-time? Just take on jobs when your other writing work is slow or you need the extra cash. Now to land those jobs you’ll have to do some networking, but believe me, that’s a good thing. As a full-time freelance writer, finding ways to connect with the rest of the human race is a constant challenge. Going out and networking can be the answer to the secluded, sometimes-cut-off life of a writer.
4. Copywriting helps your other writing. Writing good copy means writing clean, crisp and powerfully. It means explaining products and services clearly. It means organizing ideas to make the biggest impact. It means knowing how to edit your own work — including being able to recognize your writing flaws and fix them.
Sound familiar?
As you can see, the same rules to good copywriting also apply to other kinds of writing. But with copywriting, those rules are even more exaggerated. Your writing has to be lean and mean — there’s absolutely no room for extra words. You need to get in, make your point, and get out. No matter what kind of writing you do, learning to write this tight will help you.
I’ve discovered that copywriting has strengthened my fiction and other writing. It’s forced me to trim out the fat, leaving only the powerful words that pull their own weight. In fact, trying a variety of writing styles has helped me discover and intensify my writing voice.
5. Copywriting helps you learn about marketing. What’s the essence of copywriting? Using words to sell. You also have to learn about the different marketing vehicles and how to write for each of them (i.e. writing for the Web is very different than writing a 30-second radio spot). You learn about target markets, goals and marketing plans. This will all help you market yourself and your other writing.
6. Copywriting helps you develop regular writing habits. Clients give you deadlines. Deadlines mean you have to produce regardless of what your muse decides to do or even where your muse is. You want to get paid? You get the work done.
Also, just by picking up a few extra copywriting jobs means you’re writing more. The more you write, the better you’ll get at writing AND the better you’ll get at just sitting down and putting words on paper no matter what your mood is.
7. Copywriting helps you develop a professional attitude about writing. There’s nothing that makes you feel more like a professional writer than having people pay you to write. It’s a great boost to your ego (to say nothing for your bank account). Also, as a professional copywriter, you’ll need business cards, a Web site, a desk, office supplies, etc. Plus you’ll have to start introducing yourself as a professional writer. All these things will help you cultivate an image of a serious writer.
8. Copywriting can boost your ego. Unlike other forms of writing where kudos are few and far between, copywriting clients are usually pretty good about telling you how much they like what you wrote and how much they enjoy working with you. Many times you’ll even get thanked (I know, amazing concept). Best yet, you can take advantage of all that goodwill and ask for testimonials, which you then put on your marketing materials for other people to see. (You can even read them on those really bad days when you wonder why it ever occurred to you that you could write).
9. Copywriting can help you learn how to handle criticism. Okay — I know I just got finished telling you about all the compliments you’ll receive, which you will if you do a good job, but at the same time you will be asked to make changes. It’s a fact of life. Sometimes those changes are very minor, but you almost always go through a second or third draft (and sometimes even a tenth draft, but we won’t talk about those right now). However, and this is important to remember, your clients can and will still love your writing and still ask you to make changes. After all, you don’t know their business or their customers the way they do, and there will be things you just won’t know.
Because these changes are usually completely separate from your writing style, they’re a lot easier to hear and a lot easier to make then, say, someone hates one of your novel’s subplots. And if clients do want to make a change you don’t agree with, feel free to discuss it with them. You are the expert here. Clients are hiring you because you know how to write and they don’t. They’ll listen to you, and even if you end up making that change, at least you’ve discussed it.
All of this is good practice. After awhile, you’ll learn to separate constructive criticism from nasty criticism, and eventually learn not to take even the nasty criticism personally. I’m not saying criticism won’t still hurt, I’m just saying all of this will help you develop a professional attitude about it.
10. Copywriting can increase your knowledge. Not only will you learn about different businesses, but different industries and different niches. You’ll learn about problems, challenges and successes. All stuff you can use in future articles and novels.
There’s actually more than just ten ways copywriting can help you as a writer — it can sharpen your interviewing skills and beef up your contact list. But ten ways sounded good, so I thought I would stick with that. Regardless, the skills and information you learn as a copywriter can also help you become a better writer in general.

The demands of working plus raising a family can make spending any time on their Internet home business seem impossible.After working a long day at the office plus the commute to and from work it can become difficult to focus on properly promoting a website. Many of the needed tasks to properly promote a home based business can become tedious.Posting to your blog, perhaps one of the most important aspects of a Internet home business, can become a treaded task rather then an enjoyable one.

Write a week worth’s of blog posts on your day off and then publish them each morning.If you are using WordPress this is very easy to do. You can complete each post, tag it with your keywords and then save it. Then first thing each morning pick a post and publish it. It only takes a few minutes to publish the post then to submit it to your favorite social sites.When you get home at night you will have free time to post in a few forums and respond to emails2. Join a couple of traffic exchanges , purchase some credits Usually when you join a traffic exchange you are offered a special deal if you upgrade your membership and if you are working a full time job it is a good idea to go for one of those packages. All you have to do now is to allocate your credits to one of your website pages, or to a squeeze page you have setup on your website. You will also be able to set a daily credit cap which is a good idea if you want to spread out your traffic exchange exposure to cover the duration of a few weeks. 3. Include your family in your business- This can be both effective and rewarding, depending on the age of your children you can include them in some aspects of your home based business.While they are home from school allow them to surf for credits on the traffic exchanges while you are at work.

How To Make Money Blogging With 3 Easy Tips
November 11, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Blogging has become so popular recently that many people have been able to turn it into a full time job. Making money with blogging can be difficult and many people who try do not succeed in their initial attempts. This is not because it is a bad way to make extra money. People tend to fail to make money blogging because they do not approach it in the appropriate way. Blogging for money is a job. While you may work for yourself, just like any other job, it requires knowledge and hard work in order to succeed. I think we can say that about anything in life. For someone who is serious and wants to make money blogging in their spare time, or even making enough money to quit their day job, there are a few good tips that they need to follow.
First, picking a good topic for blogging can be a tough ordeal. Many people want to blog about their hobbies, but if the niche is too small, generating traffic can be difficult. It is important to find a topic which will draw in a good crowd, but it must also be a topic about which you are willing to write. A blog that lacks passion or insight will not retain visitors and will not give them the incentive to use the banner ads on the site, or click through on your affiliate product. This is the primary way most blogs generate revenue, so if the ads or sales fail, the blog may not make any money. Becoming an expert at your particular niche is key.
So how do you go about making the best of your blog? While most people who are considering blogging for money are already web savvy, it is important to be up to date with the latest internet publishing software and websites. An out of date blog, or one which does not take advantage of new methods for increasing traffic, may struggle against technically superior blogs. Blogs today take advantage of things such as RSS feeds and podcasts. By utilizing the latest technologies a blog can keep up with the rest and really stand out. Wordpress blogs are especially regraded for their use of ease and plethora of features.
One thing anyone who wants to blog for money needs to remember is that regular visitors will lose interest if the blog is not updated frequently. Updating the blog every day can result in a very high turnover for certain blogs, but may be too much for others. A blog about a rapidly changing medium, business for example, can thrive on daily updates. However, a blog about a hobby such as snowboarding, may be better served by information-rich weekly updates. A blog which is unnecessarily updated may come off as spam to some readers. Despite this, a blog with appropriate and well-written updates will keep readers coming back for more time and time again. Making sure the updates are on a schedule, rather than random, can also keep readers coming back.
Blogging for money does not have to be hard. Do not let the lack of success from others steer you away. Those who are unprepared or not serious about blogging for money will make room for those who want to turn real profit. By doing your research and approaching the blogosphere with a professional attitude, it is very possible to supplement an existing income or replace it all together. Make money blogging today with these 3 easy tips!

5 Easy Ways You Can Make Money Online
November 11, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
With the economy down, money getting tight, and debt accumulating, everyone and their brother is out to make an extra buck or two through side jobs or other money-making opportunities. While an extra job will bring in the much-needed cash, it is also a hefty and regular time commitment. Other money-making opportunities may or may not pay the money promised. So, if you are strapped for cash and have limited or irregular hours to devote to making additional money, what can you do?
The answer lies in making money through online business opportunities. Unlike a side or full-time job, online work is performed at your own time and convenience. Usually, you devote as much time as possible to performing an online task, and are then paid accordingly.
You do not have to look far in order to find legitimate and well-paying online work. Depending on your time and talents, here are 5 easy ways you can make money online:
1.Freelance Writing. If you are good at writing and have an interest in researching various topics of interest, then freelance writing may be for you. You may choose to get paid by the article, by page views, or by a combination of both methods. Some excellent online freelance writing sites are Constant Content and Associated Content.
2.Online Surveys. Online survey sites are always on the lookout for new recruits with valuable information. Some surveys will pay you only a few pennies, while others go as high as $20 (or more). For examples of quality survey sites, please visit either InboxDollars or SendEarnings.
3.Affiliate Marketing. If you can perform keyword optimization research and set up web sites, affiliate marketing may be for you. The premise lies in you being a third party liaison between potential buyers and sellers. By posting quality content about the products being marketed, you draw customers to your web site. You will also monetize your web site, so that the traffic you drive can click on your ads and buy your advertised products. When this happens, you will receive a percentage of the sales profits.
4.Ebay Sales. Ebay is the world’s largest garage sale, and more than likely you already have something that you need to get rid of. If you have stuff in your house that is just taking up room, you can certainly sell it on Ebay and make some quick cash. However, you can also become savvy at finding brand-name merchandise at low prices and then sell it on Ebay for profit. Alternatively, you may make quality merchandise on your own and sell it at an even greater profit.
5.Blogs. Blogs have become very hot in the last few years, and you probably already know someone who runs a blog. If you can start your own blog, either by purchasing your own domain name or by going to a public site like Wordpress, you stand to make a good amount of money. The key is to write about topics that are of interest to readers and so drive lots of traffic. Fresh, current, and quality content is therefore essential to your blogging success.

Utilizing the most effective SEO blogging software available will leave you to free to express your creativity and genius, while still focusing on the quality of content you put in your blog. How do you determine what the best blog software actually is, and where do you find it?
The invention of the blog has been an important stepping stone for the many entrepreneurs who would have otherwise, had no access into the business world. It has supplied us with an outstanding group of creative people who are able to showcase their talents and deliver their products at any time. Excellent blogging software is vital to the success of these bloggers. Blogs that have low search engine rankings, are blogs that fail. It’s as simple as that. It can be compared to opening a store, but refusing to advertise it in any way. There is such a great selection of blog software readily available in today’s market, that you really have no decent excuse for not optimizing your blog.
Your main focus in your blog should be providing useful content that your readers will desire and utilize. Visitors like to see blogs that are updated frequently, and they will quickly seek out the competition’s blogs if yours have become stale and outdated. You should attempt to write your blog in a way that encourages positive interactions between the blogger and the readers. This in itself is a full time job for the blogger. When shopping for SEO blogging software, there are a few things that you need to bear in mind.
The first thing that you want to keep an eye out for is Meta data. The keywords that are chosen for your blog, will directly affect the number of visitors that you have coming to your blog. This is why it is vital for your key words to be properly positioned within your blog. You will have a meta title, meta description, and meta keywords. These keywords will later be transformed into tags. A separate page is formed for each tag, and the search engines will work to index those pages.
A good URL is important to your blog, as well. Your important keywords must be included in the URL of each and every post. Great SEO blogging software will allow you to add the title of your post to the URL of the post. Using the keywords in your title allows you to effectively include them in your URL.

Many of theses people’s comments will include URL’s in the reply comments. Great SEO Blogging software gives you the opportunity to add a “do follow” or “do not follow” tag. This means that you have to opportunity to share the SEO in these outgoing links.

Traffic Generation Tips To Explode Your Business
November 4, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Traffic generation is the key to an online business success. No Traffic means No Business. You could have the best product, best sales letter in the world but if no one knows about it sales are going to be very low. Bottom line is getting traffic is crucial.
Traffic generation are the marketing techniques you apply to generating leads for your business and building a massive database which overtime will convert into customers. There are off line and online marketing methods.
For the purpose of this article I will cover predominantly online methods for you to get started but there are hundreds of different techniques you can use to get traffic to your business.
Traffic generation or lead generation for any business tyically requires a cost which is significantly higher cost than getting a customer to buy more products from you, therefore, it is very important to great conversion strategies and retention strategies in place once your business is up and running so you can improve your bottom line.
Today technology is advanced and to many people often a daunting task and for that very reason may stop people from investing into Internet Marketing strategies to help increase sales. If this is the case I would do one of two things. First, I would look to employ someone who specialises in traffic generation. There are people out there today who do this as a full time job. Pay the professionals. Second, I would look to invest some time and money into self education. Alternatively, look towards a mentor or a coach to help you achieve your desired outcome.
Traffic Generation Techniques
There are 100s of ways to generate traffic to your site ranging from offline to online traffic. Some techniques will have a significant cost, others will be FREE, for example, saying to someone at a party here is my business card go and have a look at my site. So open your mind, you may focus on a couple of different methods to start with and then branch out with some more advanced strategies later after you have developed your skills and mastered some of the traffic generation techniques.
Here are a few to kick start your business
Low to No Cost Methods
1. Tell a friend
As mentioned above you surely have a few friends that may be interested. You obviously have a friendship so you may not want to do a hard sell but why dont you just say, I have just joined this program online, it is a way I am looking at making a bit of extra cash if you want to have a look here is the address. Then they can make there mind up yourself. You will probably already have a few people in mind that would most likely jump at the concept.
2. E-Mail
You can send out a group e-mail to all your friends, if they are not interested kindly just ask them to send it on to people that may be interested. If you are advanced you could look into setting up an auto responder. The system has an auto responder working on your behalf to convert your leads, however, we have personally introduced our own auto responder to improve our relationship with our leads to convert to m1 consultants or upgrading consultants from m1 to m3. The other value of our auto responder is we are going to provide valuable e-mails to help all consultants in our team build their business.
3. Social Networking Groups
Groups such as myspace, facebook, youtube are great ways you can sell your product. There are groups on social networking sites that you can join yourself; you can set up a page and just network with people. I joined facebook and had a number of people I had not spoken to in years find me, some of them were actually people that are interested in what I am doing now and have invested money into some business mentoring, and purchased products. You will be surprised at the power of these mediums to generate traffic to your site.
4. Buy a Baby Name Book
This is out there thinking but by going through the names in the book it my spark a thought of someone you know with that name that you can contact and direct them to your site. While not a traditional method, it is cost effective and certainly a way to spark your memory on someones name and then contact them and try to get them to look at your site.
5. Blogging
Blogging is probably a more advanced strategy but it can be free by joining wordpress.com, or blogger.com and setting up a blog post which is effectively an online diary.
This certainly helps drive traffic to your site, it helps build rapport with your customers and creates a connection. Blogging also helps with search engine optimisation.
Some other advanced blogging strategies including
a)Commenting on other peoples blogs and adding your URL on their blog
b)Submit your blog to directories. Directories such as Digg.com and Decicious.com have heaps of traffic.
c)List your products in your blog rolls
d)Google Adsense (listed below)
e)Product reviews with a resource box at the end of the review
f)Give your blog content for other people to use
6. Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
SEO is the process of ranking your website in the free part of Google or other search engines. Google looks at the code of each website and ranks your site based on a number of features. It is obviously important to get as close to the top as possible because that increases your chances of making a sale or having people click onto your website. The first thing Google looks at is the title tag at the top of the page and the last thing is the bottom right hand of the page. It is known as the first and last principle. You want to have the same keyword at the top and bottom of the page. Some other key features that help with page rank include page title, meta description tag, meta key word tag. This is a simplified look at SEO and can be effected by a number of off page strategies also but if you at least do the basics you will improve your chances of generating some more traffic.
7. Google Ad Words
Google Ad Words is effectively paying for your leads. You put an ad up and when people click on the ad it will cost you money. It can be costly if you do not have any idea on what you are doing. My advice is only start exploring this avenue once you are either generating sales and have some cash to invest in marketing strategies or are very savvy in this area. In saying all that it is a great way to build a database and make some sales once you understand how to do it properly.
8. Zango
Very similar to setting up a Google ad words campaign. It is an online media company that gives people free access to games, videos and other online entertainment. In return for the free content they agree to view targeted advertising.
9 eBay
There are over 270 million people on eBay holding a credit card in their hands. Therefore, for any business in the world I would suggest if you want to get an online presence and do not understand Internet Marketing have an eBay business and set up your store. You can not directly direct traffic from eBay however there are a number of people that creatively send traffic from their eBay business to their Internet business.
10. Google Ad Sense
You can advertise on other peoples websites and blogs and it is a pay per click method. Internet Marketers advertise their products on their own websites because it increases sales significantly.
11. Articles
You can submit articles to article submission websites. Great examples of article submission websites include articlemarketer.com and you can direct the traffic to a specific site. With article submission the subject line is crucial. Like Google adwords and Zango you need to use great key words in your subject line that you think people would put in the search section of Google to find your product. Another important thing to understand with articles is that you only want to advertise at the end of the article and in particular in the authors resource box. Have great content in the article and then they will want to buy your product at the end of the article and then from the authors resource box send them to a forced opt-in page. On the forced opt in offer a free report, newsletter or some form of free gift and then once they have opted into your page have a sales letter with the product. In this instance you drive your traffic to your site and once people opt into your page you will have an auto responder set up to convert your leads.
12. Create products to give away
Another traffic generation technique is to create products. You could write an eBook, create a video or audio and with your product you could promote throughout the product. One method is create a product and give the resale rights to your product. You advertise at the start of the product and the end of the product and maybe with a footer at the bottom of the page. You give people the rights to sell your eBook and keep all the money and the trade off is you can get traffic and branding. That is a win win situation.
13. Hiring someone to drive the traffic
If you are not technically minded, or are not interested in self-education I would strongly recommend you pay someone to drive the traffic to the site. There are plenty of people you can pay to do it for you. Obviously, you would want to budget for this and like any business you need to have a budget for marketing, your budget is set up for outsourcing traffic generation.
14. Affiliate marketing
Save the best for last
Regarded as the greatest way to market your product is by affiliate marketing and giving people commissions for making a sale on your behalf.
These techniques will certainly improve your ability to make a sale and generate sales for you business. As suggested, improve your self help knowledge on traffic generation because once you know how to drive traffic to a site you certainly have significant power in generating more sales and profit for your business. Once again you can have the best product and the best sales letter in the world but if you can not drive traffic to the site you do not have a business.
