Why to Approach a Copywriting Agency
November 21, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
There are general principles of copywriting that all copywriters will be aware of. An example is the fact that they would need to market the product, service or website and maintain positive words. This everyone will be aware of. The difference comes when the copy needs to trigger sales.
This means that there needs to be extra skills that would help him make the copy as good as possible. It needs to be catchy and attention grabbing. It also needs to be as persuasive as possible. So, there are a lot of things that would need to be done so that this is achieved.
There are several ways that you can approach copywriting so that it is more effective. You know, copywriting can be done in so many forms. There is article marketing and there is also blogging. So, it is best that you get someone who will be able to provide both or even more.
Freelancers are limited
There are so many freelance copywriters who work on their own. This would usually mean that they get fewer projects to work on hence low experience. Sometimes they even specialize in bolgging or articles alone. But when you need both of these, you need somewhere where you get all.
From a copywriting agency, you can be sure that you will get article marketing, blogging, press writing and several other services. Sometimes they even have SEO copywriting and all these are important. The team can help you understand several other things.
Time is money
True, a freelance copywriter can be very good. But, because they have just two hands and one brain they may not manage to do all that you need in the stipulated time. Your articles or blogs need to reach a wider market just so that you are sure you are being noticed.
So, the freelancer will do a good job but it will be late. Someone else who is using combined force will have posted several of such articles and they will have taken the market. So, it is just important that you go for the combined force way or approach. It is safe for your business.
Quality will help you sell
For web copies to be effective, they need to be of the highest quality. There are so many things that will help this quality be clear. The fact that the information needs to be valuable warrants a good research. An individual trying to push time with so much at hand will not research well.
If they manage to research, there will be several spelling and grammatical errors. In a copywriting agency, they will normally have in the team editors and proofreaders. So, you will be sure that work will be getting to you when it is clean.
Several eyes can spot a small mistake. Two eyes are never enough. You post a poor quality web copy and your business pays for it. You have no traffic flow and no sales. Is this what you want?

Make Money With Affiliate Products
November 19, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
When you want to quit your job and work from home there are several ways to do this. You can create and sell your own products, you can fill out surveys, you can write articles for other people, you can use Google (Adwords/Adsense), or you can do what I consider to be the easiest thing to do—affiliate marketing.Marketing affiliate products is a breeze compared to some of the other “make money online schemes”. However, I will say upfront, it is no “make money overnight” scheme. There is no such thing online. People who make money overnight have really been working for several years (and the lucky ones maybe only a couple of months—but you have to be really lucky or have some great connections). So even though it is technically an “easy” way to make money it still requires some time and dedication and you will NOT see results overnight. One of the best ways to start making money with affiliate marketing is to pick a product from Clickbank and market it using a blog and article marketing. Picking a product from Clickbank is not that difficult. Simply to go the Marketplace and select a product category that interests you. Then pick a product with the gravity somewhere between 10 and 150. You don’t want t product that has a really high gravity because it is probably saturated or overly marketed. Once you have your product chosen then you should write a review about it. Put your review on the front page of the free blog you created. Then use article marketing to market your blog with the review of the product. It’s a simple method that if you do it right and really try and pump out a lot of articles you will soon make some decent money.

Selling Affiliate Products On Your Website
November 19, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Do you want to sell affiliate products on your website? Do you have a blog or a website that you would like to monetize but you’re not sure how? Well, there are several ways you can do this. You can use ads to make money (like Google Adsense, for instance) or you can create your own products, or you can promote affiliate products. There is an upside to all of these methods of monetization but if you find that you are busy and do not have the time to create products and do not have the daily traffic to make a decent income with Adsense then you should try affiliate products. Affiliate products are products that are created by another company and that company processes the charge, they handle all the customer service, and all you have to do is get them the customer and they will pay you a commission fee for that. It’s not complex and when done correctly can yield very good results. Finding The Right Affiliate ProductFinding the right affiliate product for your website is not something you should take lightly. You should not simply grab the first product you see and put it on your site. You need to make sure of a few things before you begin promoting a product. You need to make sure the product is appropriate for your visitors. Is the product of high quality? Will your visitors like it? Will they purchase it and thank you for pointing them in that direction? Consider these questions before you begin promoting any product on your website. Because remember, it’s your reputation so don’t do it for just a quick buck. Do it because you think your visitors will like what they get.

3 questions to answer BEFORE you create your blog
November 18, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
You “get” that a blog is a great marketing tool. And you want to jump on the bandwagon…but are you starting in the right place?
For many people, the first step they take is to research and find the correct blog software and then jump in and start creating their blog (or get someone else to do it).
But I believe this isn’t the right place to start with your blog.
First you need to decide what kind of content you’re going to provide via your fabulous new business blog.
There are 3 things you need to do in order to figure out what kinds of valuable information you want to write your blog posts on.
The first thing is to be clear on the following questions:
o your target group: what do they need and what kind of information do they like?
o your objective: what are you trying to achieve with your blog?
o your level of involvement: are you going to be the only one making posts or will you have guest bloggers?
o your money and time resources: how much time and money do you have to spend on it?
o your level of interactivity: how interactive are you going to be – run contests, have comments, show videos and post audio clips?
The second things you need to do is make sure that the content on your blog is important to your target group or niche.
Like a website or any other marketing communications you do, your blog needs to be something that your target group finds valuable and has need of. So you need to choose content that you know your prospects and clients want.
There are several ways to find this out:
- research the needs of your target market
- do a survey
- get feedback from your current clients and customers
- get clear on what problem your target audience wants solved and the benefits you offer
The third thing is to decide which of these two categories you fall into:
a) those that provide information by writing about it
b) those that provide information by linking to it – other blogs, news sources, other media, YouTube, etc.
Many blogs and bloggers combine a mixture of the two – it all depends on how you want to structure your blog content. As well, do you want to be known as the expert on a subject or the person who is an expert on where to find the experts?
So before you even start looking at blog software and figuring out how your blog is going to look, spend time figuring out what kind of content your blog is going to provide on an ongoing basis.
Then hav’at’er picking those colours and templates!

Blog Optimization for Profit – Part 5
November 17, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
You should be working diligently to produce good-quality, original content on your blog and are attracting a decent amount of traffic. However, money is not going to appear out of thin air just because you have traffic. You have to turn your traffic into money.
There are several ways to generate profits from the visitors of your blog. Google’s Adsense program allows you to do so with ultimate ease. First, visit their website at adsense.google.com. You’ll find out more detail about their advertising program there but here are some quick tips.
First, Google Adsense is an easy and automated way to monetize your blog because it scans your blog and only serves Ads that fit your blog content. You can even block certain types of Ads which may be Adult in nature or may be from your competitors. Anyway, when users finish reading your newest post, they are going to move on. You can catch them before they do. If your Adsense advertisement block is visible on your blog, they might see advertisements relevant to them and click on them to exit your blog. Ka-ching! You’ve just cashed in on your first virtual pennies!
Yes, your profits will only be pennies for each click of an Ad but you can turn those pennies into dollars if you “do it right”! This involves placing your Google ads in the right places and ensuring they blend in to your site so that they appear more like links rather than advertisements to your visitors. Consult the page to see the “heat map” of your blog. The “hotter” a certain area, the greater the chances of someone looking at your blog and clicking on a Google Ad.
Once you get a Google Adsense account, you can change the color of your advertisement text and links. You will want them to match the colors on your blog. If your blog’s text is black and the links are red, do the same for the ad blocks too! It’s that simple.
Another way to earn profits from your blog is to recommend products to your readers. When your visitors buy from the merchants you recommend, you get to keep a little commission too. This is known as affiliate marketing and it is very easy to start because you don’t have to create your own products or services.
It’s very important that you watch out for scams. I edit 15 blogs and all have affiliate links on them. These are advertisers I personally trust and I only display advertisers who offer a 100% Guarantee of Satisfaction. I checked out each one before adding them. They are hand picked for their knowledge, expertise, and Guarantee. Your reputation is on the line when you place affiliates on your blog. Enough said.
Anyway, let’s refer back to our technological gadgets blog example. Let’s say you discover “Gadget X” on a merchant’s website and they offer an affilliate program. What you would do is sign up for the affiliate program only after you have checked them out. Do not believe the Testimonials in their sales page. Check them out for yourself. You can do this simply by searching for their product through Google or Yahoo or MSN. See what others have to say about it. Or, purchase the product yourself and try it. Then, create a post in your blog and do a mini-review on “Gadget X”. Point out its benefits and bad points, if any, and include a link (which is given to you by the merchant) for the visitor to purchase Gadget X through your blog.
If your visitor clicks and purchases the gadget, the merchant tracks your referral link and will send you your share of the profits. Imagine if 1 out of every 100 visitors you get purchases this product, and you earn $27.00 commission from each purchase! If you get 10,000 visitors in a month that would be a $2,700.00 paycheck for you just for writing about ONE product.
Now, affiliate programs are a popular way to generate profit, but how do you find affiliate programs that are related to your blog’s theme? Just go to Google and, using our example for tech gadgets, search for “tech gadgets” +”affiliate programs”, without the quotes. Another, slightly better way is to go to associateprograms.com/search to look for affiliate programs in your niche.
Yours for success in life.

If you have been applying the other parts of this series, you should be working diligently to produce good-quality, original content, on your blog and are attracting a decent amount of traffic. However, money is not going to appear out of thin air just because you have traffic. You have to turn your traffic into money. Here are several ways to generate profits from the traffic to your blog. First, Google’s Free Adsense program allows you to make money with ultimate ease. Visit their website at adsense.google.com. You will find more detail about their free advertising program there but here are some quick tips. Google Adsense is an easy, free, and automated way to monetize your blog because it scans your blog and only shows Ads that fit your blog content. You can even block certain types of Ads which may be Adult in nature or may be from your competitors. Anyway, when users finish reading your newest post or go on www.atoz-about-rss.com, they are going to move on. You can catch them before they do. If your Adsense advertisement block is visible on your blog, they might see advertisements relevant to them and click on them to exit your blog. If they do click, ka-ching!, you have just cashed in on your first virtual pennies! Yes, pennies. Your profits will only be pennies for each click of an Ad but you can turn those pennies into dollars if you. This involves placing your Google ads in the right places on your blog/website and ensuring they blend in to your site so that they appear more like links rather than advertisements to your visitors. Consult the Google Adsense site to see the of your blog. The certain area, the greater the chances of someone, when looking at your blog, will click on a Google Ad. But, NEVER click the ads yourself thinking you will make money. This is called “Click Fraud”. Google will catch you and you will be blackballed! Once you get a Google Adsense account, you can change the color of your advertisement text and links to blend in with your site design. You will want the Ads to match the colors on your blog. If your blog â text is black and the links are red, do the same for the ad blocks too! It that simple. Click the link in the Author Box below for an example. Another way to earn profits from your blog is to recommend products to your readers. When your visitors buy from the merchants you recommend, you get to keep a little commission too. This is known as affiliate marketing and it is very easy to start because you don’t have to create your own products or services. It’s very important that you watch out for affiliate scams.

I checked out each one before adding them. They are hand picked for their knowledge, expertise, and Guarantee. Your reputation is on the line when you place affiliates on your blog/website. Enough said. Anyway, referring back to our technological gadgets example that I have been using throughout this series, you do a keyword search and you discover “Gadget X” on a merchant website and they offer an affiliate program. After you have checked them out, you simply sign up for the affiliate program. Some words of caution are in order. Do Not Give Your Social Security Number to just any affiliate program that looks good. I stick with affiliates using Clickbank or Commission Junction. These are reputable middlemen who process the sales and who protect your personal information. This may be overly cautious but, with identity theft these days, I would rather be overly cautious. Do Not Believe the Testimonials in their sales page. Check them out for yourself. You can do this simply by searching for their product through Google or Yahoo or MSN. See what others have to say about it. Or go on www.your-own-blog.com, purchase the product yourself and try it. Then, create a post in your blog and do a mini-review on “Gadget X”. Point out its benefits and bad points too and include a link (which is given to you by the merchant) for the visitor to purchase Gadget X through your blog. Be balanced in your review. If your visitor clicks and purchases the gadget, the merchant tracks your referral link and will send you your share of the profits. Imagine if 1 out of every 100 visitors you get purchases this product and, for example, you earn $27.00 commission from each purchase! If you get 10,000 visitors in a month that would be a $2,700.00 paycheck for you just for writing about ONE product. Now, affiliate programs are a popular way to generate profit, but how do you find affiliate programs that are related to your blog’s theme? Just go to any major Search Engine and, using our example for tech gadgets, search for “tech gadgets + affiliate programs, without the quotes. Another, slightly better way is to go to associateprograms.com/search to look for affiliate programs in your niche.
