As an immigrant myself, and English is not my first language, when choose marketing strategies, I am always shy away from article marketing, although I am aware that article marketing is the number 1 internet marketing strategy to generate quality leads for free. Meanwhile, it helps creating credibility and improving search engine ranking.

“This is my curse” is my excuse for not taking advantage of it…until last night. I came across the presentation about article marketing on a webinar presented by David Wood. During over one hour’s presentation and Q&A, David shared his secrets on how to use article marketing to generate leads quick for his mlm business free. It clarified for me the 3 major myths I have which article marketing.

Myth No.1: You have to be an excellent writer or expert to write articles

This is the biggest reason that keeps me away. I am never confident enough about my writing. However, I am very comfortable to talk with people.

The truth is, as long as you can write down what you would say to people face to face, in 500ish words, you are an author. As the matter of fact, make your article conversational is even better. It allows your personality shine through, and shortens the distance between you and your reader.

Great news for me. I am applying it right now.

Myth No. 2: You need to write a lot of articles to make it work

Definitely, quantity is important. However, if there is no effective marketing strategy in place, only quantity is not enough. On the other side, a comprehensive marketing strategy will increase the impact and productivity of a single article by 10 folds. As David described, articles alone are like a beautiful island in the middle of ocean, without linking bridge, it is not going to go too far. The power of article marketing lays in promotion.

Myth No. 3: It is a long term strategy

Again, this is another reason that keeps me away from article marketing. Let’s be frank, we are all into internet marketing for making money, as quick as humanly possible. Not everyone is a visionary, nor many of us have financial resource for long term zero profit.

What I learn from the webinar is that, by leveraging effective tools, such as article submission software, and crossing promotion among different outlets, like blogs, YouTube, and bookmark networks, you will see the result much sooner than expected. This is the only method David used to generate leads, and he was able to get about 25 leads per day in less than two months. Best part, it is free.

The biggest take out for me is: it is not we can’t, it is we don’t know how.

There are literally hundreds and thousands of ways to make money online. Internet is like a virtual world. If you are creative enough, you can find as many profitable opportunities as in the real world, if not more.
Having said that, not all opportunities are created equal. The three that will be discussed here are most popular ones. One of the common characters shared by all of three is that if you treat them as a business, and master the skills required, you could enjoy a long term and lucrative profit out of them.

Online Business Model 1:

Adsense website
Your income mainly come from advertising avenue. It can be the advertising of other businesses on your site. The easiest way is to display google adsense ads. You just need to sign up a free google adsense account, copy the codes provided and paste to your website. Google adsense will decide what ads to show based on the contents of your websites. The other way is to sell the ad space on your site to other business owners.

The skills required are providing quality contents and driving traffic to your site.
Pros: Easy to setup.
Cons: Low profit. You need multiple websites to generate decent profit.

Online Business Model 2:

Selling Other People’s Stuff
Best known as affiliate website. Basically, you sell other peoples products to make commission, or buy and resell products to make profit. You can find thousands of products on the affiliate network sites such as www.clickbank.com, or www.cj.com. Choose the quality ones that interest you, post the link on your website or drive the traffic directly to the link page.
The skills required are copywriting for sales letters and driving traffic to your site. Some vendors of resell products provide you sales letters. It is always an advantage to have your own unique copy.
Pros: Quick turnaround. If the product is in demand, you can start making money fairly quick.
Cons: One off transaction, no residual income.

Online Business Model 3:

Directly marketing business, also called MLM business. Traditionally, directly marketing business is offline business, and is mainly through word of mouth marketing. The internet has revitalized the industry. The key to success in the business is to generate quality leads. Thanks to the new technology, generating leads is much fast, less expensive and more accessibility.

In this business model, with the help of a good lead generating system, you can achieve massive income and multiple long term income streams.

Skills required is again driving traffic to your site, generate leads and build relationship with leads.

Pros: Huge profit potential and long term residual income. Multiple income streams. Low cost start up.

Many success seems to be achieved overnight. Some great artist, like singers, actors, are regarded as lucky because they are blessed with talent. Here is the sneak peek of what is behind their success …

When asked what we should do to deal with inflation, Robert Kiyosaki suggests that we should do as Chinese is doing. What is Chinese is doing?

When this questions was raised to me, I was hesitated.  The first reaction was, yes.  I am an independent financial service professional, and also running direct marketing business.  I guess I am.  But second thought, is it what you do to make you an entrepreneur or who you are?  Today, I found my answer when I am reading Dan Kennedy’s book, here is what he says:

“In my early experiences in direct and multi-level sales, I quickly found out that most of my distributors (even though they were 5 to 25 years older and more “mature” than I was) could not be relied on even to have the appropriate literature samples, and other materials with them at presentations! If I wanted prospects handled properly, I had to take steps to make up for the others’ lack of organization, discipline, and reliability; I had to have extra supplies on hand.  This business taught me the importance of self-reliance, and the futility of relying on others.

The sooner you arrive at accepting 100% responsibility for everything, the more successful you will be.  Go take a look in the mirror.  There’s the man or woman – the only man or woman – who can make you happy, thin, rich, famous, or whatever it is that you aspire to.  Dr. Phil can’t make you thin, McDonalds doesn’t make you fat.
The power you need and can have as an entrepreneur comes from eschewing all excuses.  Never blaming the economy, the government, the competition, the timing, your parents, your school, or anything or anyone else for anything.  Ultimate power comes from accepting total responsibility.  When you believe as I do that circumstances control other people but not me, then circumstances won’t control you either.”

— Dan S. Kennedy

In My Story, I mentioned that I read a news about a foreign trained rocket scientist ending up selling cinnamon buns in the subway in Toronto.  The media is using the story to blame the government for lacking of helping immigrants settling.  On the contrary, I was inspired by the story and took the steer wheel of my life in my own hand.

If you don’t like who you are, or what you do, change it, now.  I really hope that the rocket scientist has the opportunity to read this post.

Enough is enough. I quit … being a guerrilla internet marketer, and decide to become a internet marketing professional.

It all started when I google making money online, trying to find an income source outside my profession. The results were overwhelming. I was like a kid in the Disney Land for the very first time. I followed so many “ gurus”, uncovered so many “secrets”, and pursued so many “opportunities”. In the end, I was lost in the ocean of internet marketing, until …one day…I found the compass!

Once I straight up the most import element, my mentality, the rest unfolds itself. In a nutshell, doesn’t matter what business model I am in, to market online, I just need two basic skills:

1. Drive traffic to your site
2. Convert traffic into leads and further into customer through copywriting

Business online is the same as any conventional business.  A good plan will lead you half way to success.

Online Marketing Plan is an effective way to get the word out about your business.

How to Create an Online Business Marketing Plan

Internet marketing has found its footing in many businesses. Business houses spend lots of money and effort to reap the benefits from this hugely popular online marketing manifestation. Many people think that creating a web site is enough. But this investment does not yield any returns if internet is not utilized in the best possible way to propagate the business.

Since the success of a business online is determined by the intensity of the internet marketing, it is very important to chalk out a sturdy and successful internet marketing plan. Here is what you should consider while creating an effective online marketing plan:

Objective

You should be clear about the objective of the online marketing and what purpose you want it to serve for you. Whether it is to earn new customers, sell products or services, or to improve the branding of your company; the clarity of thought helps to steer the efforts in right direction.

Introducing marketing funnel

Most of the businesses follow an approach in which they first introduce prospective buyers to free offers and cheap products and then take them ahead to high cost products once the confidence is built. This formula is more apt in internet marketing and your efforts should be to find the loop holes and fill them.

Understanding competition

With every business hopping on to internet marketing, the online competition is very stiff. Identify your biggest competitors in this arena and have an idea about the traffic they receive. Try http://www.alexa.com. Highlight your unique product or service and develop a strategy that sets you apart from the rest.

Niche market

It is very important to identify your target or niche market for the success of online marketing plan. The whole strategy and the plan has to be developed around the target market keeping into consideration their likes and dislikes.

Solution

You have to develop the online marketing plan keeping in mind the problems that your targeted audiences face and how your product solves them. It is also important to glorify your specialty that puts you one step higher than your competitors.

You should assess your website objectively from a customer’s point of view. It should be visually appealing and user friendly. It is very important to promote your company as a brand to etch in the minds of people. A good internet marketing plan brings out the vision of the company and uses this form of marketing as a powerful tool to grow business.

Created by Scott Davenport, My Home Wealth System is designed for beginners to learn how to make money online using affiliate marketing business model.

Pros:

Putting aside of the hypes contained in the sales letter, which is typical for most of online marketing course, I was actually surprised by the amount of information that the course provided, even more, the method of teaching.

Frankly, not all the information here is original. For example, Scott choose and pick quite a bit of google adwords teaching materials in describing how to use PPC advertising to generate traffic. However, he did great job in mixing his teaching with other information online, streamline, organize and prioritize them in the certain manner that is very easy to follow.

This is extremely important for a beginner, because I know how easy it is to get lost in the ocean of information available online and how hard it is to find a path to where you want to go.

Once I started to follow the course, I felt like someone is holding my hand and lead me step by step. I didn’t feel overwhelmed by the information at all. He even created action checklist. After you finish each step, it is checked off. So you know your progress.

Along with the course, you also provided with a free website that you can try the skills learned in the course while making money when you do it.

The biggest value is in the VIP area. Scott literally gives up tens of digital product that you can sell, together with top notch sales letters and web designs. You just need to put them online following the knowledge you learn and start making money.

Cons:

Once you are setup your free website, you will be given an option to upgrade to PRO access to have 10 websites. I would not do it, because these websites are hosted by the company. You don’t have control over the content of the sites, which in the long run, will limit your capability to promote the sites further.

Every website is like a business. It is common sense to have control over it especially when it starts to generate revenue. It is better to get a feel of marketing skills with the free one, and really seriously apply the skills on the ones in the VIP bonuses, which you will have the control over.

Overall, it is a great system to learn and start affilate business online.  Get your copy Here!

Mortgage insurance is meant to offer peace of mind. Most people pay the premiums and think they’re covered. But some have discovered – when it’s too late – that they aren’t.

Check out the report CBC Marketplace conducted a year ago.

The better solution is to have an individual life insurance.  You and your family are policy owners and beneficiaries, not your bank.  Your benefit will not decrease as you pay down the mortgage. You decide how you will manage the money when you claim.  Most importantly, you know you are covered upfront when you get the policy and have real peace in mind.
