Five Simple Steps for Online Success - Step One
Start By Having Your Own Product

Has your internet business just been a dream until now?

It should be quite clear that the only way you are going to have true freedom to do what you want and when you want is by having and promoting your own products. You are not going to obtain your freedom as fast and as profitable srtictly working on affiliate programs. You need to have and start building your own internet business, now! Don’t even think about putting all your effort into building someone else’s affiliate fortune. Why on God’s great earth would you want to do that anyway’s? Actually, I do know why… because you don’t know any other way to get started with your own profitable internet business! Or else your afraid. Although, let me add that including a few affilaite programs into your own internet product is fine for some additional revenue, but your main focus and goal is to develop your own internet product business. That is where the real profits are made and your true freedom is conquered!

So how do you get started when you don’t have any prodcut?

As I have preached several times before in my articles, “The Most Attainable Internet Entrepreneurial Opportunity That An Average Person Will Ever Have And Can Take Immediate Advantage Of, With The Least Amount Of Risk, Is By Becoming An Online Infopreneur!” Becoming an Online Infopreneur Offers many significant benefits including, but not limited to…

1. You get to be your own boss. Working for yourself brings you freedom to work on what you want, when you want.

2. You can work anywhere. Since all your activities take place on the Net, you can be anywhere in the world… on a beach, in a mountain cabin, down the street at your favorite coffee shop, or right in your own home-sweet-home.

3. You don’t need much capital. You can start on a shoestring. Your providing information, not a tangible product you have to manufacture.

4. You can start in your spare time. Start slow building a web page at a time. You don’t have to create a massive website from the start. Build a page a week or month as you maintain your nine-to-five J.O.B.

5. You don’t need employees. All the skills, talent, and management are your own responsibility.

6. You can make a lot of money! One information Website could easily bring in enough money for you to quit that J.O.B.! Just think if you created several Information Websites on topics you are passionate about.

You get the picture? Start creating your own internet business and start reaping all the benefits. Yes, this is going to take some time to get things rolling, but in the long run you will out perform working on developing someone else’s affiliate programs. It may take six months to a year to start seeing some nice profits, but they will continue to grow for a lifetime. This is not a get rich quick program. There is no such thing, and if you run across sales letters that promote that, turn and run. It takes effort on your part. It really is not that hard. It does take work though. You don’t have to perfect with creating a website, search engine optimization, marketing, ect. You will be amazed how powerful the internet is as long as you have a good product, good content, and follow a good program like Online Infopreneur.

You can find an excellent resource on getting started at: http://www.OnlineInfopreneurCreation.com

The reason information is so powerful is that you don’t need an actual tangible product to sell. Manufacturing a product or software and facing manufacturing issues are a tremendous cost the average person cannot sustain. To start creating your very own information based Website, all you need is quality information about a field of interest that you are absolutely passionate about. The key component is that it needs to be a passion of yours. You will effectively communicate, and put more into your business if it something that you love. And why not? Shouldn’t it be that way anyway? If your focusing on simply how much money you can make you will loose interest and drive when things don’t go so great, but if you focus on your passion for a subject that drives it’s creation and your motivation you will fulfill all your wildest internt dreams. Haven’t you ever heard some of the top producers say “I’m not driven by money”, but yet they are the most financially successful.

In closing, You need to get started having your own product. There are thousands of successful internet business on the web, why wouldn’t yours be successful too. Online Infopreneur can power drive your internet dreams. You need take action and take it now!

Five Simple Steps for Online Success

Wednesday, October 18th, 2006

With all the affiliate programs available and all the different products you can now rep, you don’t want to spend a lot of money and then as time starts to pass. Few visitors show up to your site and practically no one buys into your offer.

The reality is that this is how it usually works out for more than 80 percent of the Internet’s Websites. The lucky 15 percent of the top Websites are the ones who pull in the top dollars, usually in the six figure income.

If your new to starting your very own online business or even if your a seasoned veteran, here is a simple, proven five-step strategy for getting started on the internet.

1. Start by having your own product. How on earth do you think you are really going to obtain freedom so you can enjoy life? The answer is having your own product. Why would you want to be so determined and all hyped up about building the business of others?! The owners of affiliate networks and the owners of affiliate programs. Think about it for a second, they are just substitutes for employers. The affiliate path entails a lot of work and it is a path that does not lead you down main street. Yes there are some folks that make a lot of money at it, but I guarantee they are working their little tails off doing so. You need to eliminate the affiliate vendors out of the loop. Stop building them their fortune and start building your own Internet Business.

How do you accomplish this?

By having your own product. I highly recommend the Online Infopreneur Creation course. It will teach you how to get started even if you don’t have a product. The course for doing that is here:

http://www.onlineinfopreneurcreation.com

The only way you will be able to obtain your own freedom via the internet is with your own Internet business and your own customers, not through some affilaite program.

2. Next, start submitting your Website to search engines. Just about everyone uses the major search engines to surf the Internet for information. Search engines will provide you steady, free, targeted traffic. But you won’t receive this free traffic just because you submitted your Website to these search engines. You need to be ranked in at least the top ten listings when people search out a site similair to yours. A couple of excellent ways to get your site ranked higher are listed below. One additional thought, the three major search engines, Google, Yahoo, and MSN are all solidly built on information. You would be surprised some of the information people are looking for on the net. Information is a key to success. That is why I recommend so strongly creating an Information Website or product using Online Infopreneur Creation.

Search engines do change their methods all the time. What worked last year may not work today. Continually seek up-to-date information on how and when each of the major search engines change their game plan.

3. Next, start to get your site added to PPC (pay-per-click) search engines e.g. Google Adwords. PPC’s allow you to get listed high, usually the first page, with your site advertisement while you are working on other methods to have your site ranked well within the search engines.

PPC’s can send hundreds of visitors to your Website depending on your keyword bids. Make sure sure your advertisement corresponds to the content of your Website or sales page. If visitors read the information in your ad, and then read something completely different on your Website, you will have just lost a possible sale.

4. Start up your own email autoresponder program, newsletter, or blog. This is the best way to start developing your customer base. If you haven’t heard this before… Your profits are in your lists! I know of several internet marketers who make a tremendous amount of money off their customer list they generate from their newsletter or blog. Put an Opt-In sign on your Website, newsletter or blog to have visitors subscribe. You need to have a steady customer base to sell your information, products or upgrades to. This is critical for your online success. Potential Prospects need to hear from you several times before they buy to assure them confidence in you. Your auto-responder email program, newsletter or blog will keep information in front of them, week after week, before they are even ready to make a purchase.

5. Lastly, start to write articles and submit them to real publishers. I recommend Article Pro Software for this. You can find it at: http://www.ArticleProSoftware.com. I am not talking about submitting articles to the major article directories where they don’t care about subject matter. This is where Article Pro Software is so different. It submits your real article to actual real publishers. The major article directories accept all types of articles. They don’t care because they don’t have a real “Harley Davidson” audience that is interested in articles about Harley’s. Their audience is the authors themselves that want to see their own articles and want to increase the Alexa ranking of the article directory. There are no prospects or customers involved. What is worse is the “made for Adsense” site scrapers that come to these large directories and grab massive amounts of information for their junk Websites that are propelled by Google Adsense. Submitting articles to real publishers is a great way to increase your page ranking through the inbound links generated by submitting articles. The more inbound links you have from article marketing, the more traffic you will generate which you can convert into sales. Article submissions are my #1 way to generate traffic and increase your page ranking.

In summary, running a successful and profitable Internet business is really that simple. It’s just a matter of having your own information Website or product, getting listed in the three major search engines, run some PPC ads, start building a customer list, and start submitting real articles to real publishers.

Please visit my blog periodically at www.CraigSAndrews.com for further lessons and information on real internet marketing for success. There are several categories and topics there to find out information about running a successful Internet business.

Why Article Marketing Is My #1 Traffic Generating Strategy!

Friday, October 13th, 2006

My top marketing strategy and the top marketing strategy for the vast majority of marketers to drive targeted visitors to their websites is article marketing. There’s no question in my mind that this technique is the most effective known for populating interested visitors, but it also gives the added bonus of driving up your URL page rank through the many inbound links that this strategy can produce. In fact, this blog and my other websites have moved up tremendously in page ranks since I started with article submissions using Article Pro Software.

The strategy of article marketing, though, began declining in popularity several years ago. Google instituted a change that meant that article marketing was many times less effective at producing highly counted inbound links to the author’s website. What happened was that Google decided that inbound links from pages or articles that contained duplicate content should not be counted as significantly as links from pages or articles with unique content. It ends up being that about only one in 19 of your links from your successful article submissions on the web with your duplicate article will count positively towards your page ranking.

The solution? Don’t submit the same exact article to all your submission lists. Submit unique articles. That’s a little tough to do when you are submitting each article to thousands of publishers like I do. Do you really want to write thousands of unique articles? Of course not!

So what do you do? You need an article submission software to take care of submitting all those unique articles. Probably the best article submission software that I can recommend is Article Pro Software. I don’t know of any other software that can randomly select paragraphs from the three original articles you write and compile them into hundreds of unique articles, all with different content.

Let me explain a little better on how it works. You actually just write one original article… and then rewrite it twice keeping the same paragraph structure. So, if you have three versions of a 5 paragraph article, you then have what looks like 125 different articles. If only 125 sites pick up your articles, they will likely all be unique. If you have 6 paragraphs you will have 216 different variations of your article and so forth. If a few duplicates slip through, that’s fine. Remember that the “similar results” filter Google implemented is able to catch about 17 out of every 18 duplicates. Through testing, it has been proven that about 300 inbound links shrink to about 16 or 17 as they disappear into the “similar results” filter. That’s an 1875% increase in effectiveness if you can submit unique articles because the inbound links they produce all count.

So at the end of the day, you can really get hundreds of links coming into your site. Links that will bring you traffic, links that search engines love, and links that will also bring your ranking up higher with every article and every link you create through article marketing. These can add up quickly into the thousands, and help skyrocket your Search Engine Ranking! No other method has the power to get that amount of inbound links in such a short period of time.

So now, get out there and start submitting articles. If you don’t want to create your own solution for making them unique, then pick up a copy of Article Pro Software - Article Submission Software. It is very inexpensive and it will take care of all of the paragraph randomization, making your articles unique at the click of your mouse. Now that’s a powerful marketing strategy!

If you’re not ready to buy Article Pro Software, just get to work submitting articles and try to make them as unique as possible by hand if you can. It’s still the best way known to drive traffic and get inbound links.

Drive More URL Traffic With Unique Content!

Tuesday, October 10th, 2006

By driving more traffic to your website pages, your search engine rankings will improve dramatically. This increase in traffic will not only improve your rankings, but if you have a good product and good copywriting, your sales will also improve as a result of optimizing your site URL for traffic.

The internet is used by all of us for getting information. For a great way to build a profitable internet business take a peek at www.onlineinfopreneurcreation.com. The material we are seeking is always for a purpose, whatever that might be. The old underhanded ploys used by some websites served no good purpose for the growth of the internet. It is good news to all of us that the search engines are blacklisting sites that use unscrupulous techniques to get traffic.

For a website to be ranked high in the search engines, the topic matter must be focused using the main word as well as supporting phrases and synonyms that occur naturally. A web page that is properly optimized in this way will have a greater chance of being listed in the top ten sites with the search engines. There are thousands and thousands of pages on just about every subject, so taking the time to optimize your pages is well worth the effort. Top ranking sites are the ones that get the traffic.

Link Techniques

Website content that is centered around a certain subject matter will also give you the perfect opportunity to contact other websites that have content similar to yours that will be willing to link to your site. In turn, you would probably offer to link to theirs. Traffic obtained in this way is usually qualified since those that were seeking information come from a site similar in content to yours. It is usually very stable traffic that will be around for a long time. There are many good link management programs available which offer a variety of services such as editing, organizing and maintaining your link directory.

Writing Articles For Traffic

There are some internet marketers who are just now becoming aware of the benefits that can be gotten from writing and posting good, informative articles to article directories, ezines, as well as to other websites. There are many sites looking for content for their websites. As an article writer, you get a one way link back to your site from each published article, which, of course, holds the potential of your getting lots more traffic. Also, links to your site, and one way links in particular, could increase your search engine rankings. Take a look at www.ArticleProSoftware.com which offers some very valuable insights and strategies about writing and submitting articles. Articles should be thoughtful and well written. You might be surprised at the boost your site will receive when you begin to regularly write and submit articles.

To summarize, (1) take the time you need to optimize your site for the search engines with good, information that is unique and well written, (2) start a link program for your site, and (3) write and submit articles to ezines, article directories and other websites.
