7 Sure Fire Ways to Sabotage Your Life

Make your ezine make you money

by: alicia forest

Writing a regular ezine/newsletter can sometimes feeling like hard work. So if you're putting in the time and effort to give your readers valuable content, consider implementing at least a few of the strategies in this article to help your efforts pay off in profits.

Here are 4 ways to help your ezine make you more money:

1. Self-promote

Besides giving valuable content in each issue of your ezine, don't forget to add a little self-promotion as well. After all, it is one of your best marketing tools, and you want to make sure that you are letting your subscribers know what products and services you have available for them. It's best to do this in a separate section of your ezine, instead of in the copy of the article you write for your readers. A short blurb about you and what you offer, as well as a bit about one of your products and services with a link to more information is all you really need to do.

A tip: If space allows, consider adding one or two short testimonials from your clients/customers who are raving fans, too.

Depending on the method through which you are publishing your ezine, you can track how many times your links are clicked on, which gives you valuable market research information about what your readers are interested in finding out more about.

2. Give Options

If you are a service professional, know that there are many people who would like to hire you one-on-one but that option doesn't fit into their budget just yet. If you offer them other options, and promote those offerings in your ezine, you'll turn some of those prospects into paying clients.

For example, if you coach or consult one-on-one, consider offering a group coaching program with a price point that would be much more accessible than your private fees would be. Or take your knowledge and package it into an ebook, or a series of teleseminars, or an ecourse, and price them reasonably.

3. Offer specials

Your readers may find the content of your free ezine valuable and would really like more, but they might need a bit ofencouragement to buy from you. So give your subscribers a special discount on something you offer, with a time limit for purchasing (which really does encourage people to "act now").

For example, offer a 2-for-1 deal on your ebooks, or 20% off one of your programs if they register within a week. This strategy will move some of your readers from the "free" part of your funnel into the "fee" part of your funnel, which is exactly what you want.

4. Offer recommendations

I get so many questions about the services I use in my business that I decided to give one recommendation in each issue of my ezine. These products and services are ones I truly believe are of high quality, because I have used them personally or because they come highly recommended to me by my mentor coaches. Some of these I am a reseller of (an affiliate), meaning I make a small commission on every sale I make, and others are products and services I love and know would be of value to my subscribers.

Don't forget that your number one priority with your ezine is to provide valuable content for your subscribers. Proportion 10-20% of your content with promoting you and your offerings, and you will be working smarter and not harder.

Also remember that with each issue you put out, you are building trust and rapport with your list, becoming known as an expert in your niche, and gaining lots of exposure (especially if you submit your ezine articles to article submission services), all of which are so important to the overall success of your business.

Title: Don't Make These 4 Common Affiliate Mistakes!

Author: Margaret Albright

Article:
Myths concerning affiliate marketing are appealing and
attractive.

It is true enough that affiliate marketing is financially
rewarding. People who have gone through everything to be able to
succeed in this business are reaping the seeds that they
untiringly sowed. Many of them enjoy the kind of existence that
was not possible for them to have had under ordinary
circumstances. Having gone through the A-Z of affiliate
marketing, however, these people are the ones who know that
while such business is lucrative, it requires time and work to
get there.

Ignorance of this fact is one of the main reasons why there are
people who fail miserably in the internet business. There are
those who believe in myths concerning the easy money involved in
systems such as affiliate marketing. They do not know that there
are those who have wasted time, effort and too many resources in
trying to pursue the life of ease that they believe this
business will give them. So they go into affiliate marketing
armed with nothing but myths and fantastical notions of wealth
swimming in their consciousness, never realizing that they bound
to make mistakes that would prove to be their downfall.

That may be the reason why in businesses such as affiliate
marketing, many are called but few are chosen. Perhaps the
answer lies on the fact that many affiliates make mistakes that
result from their ignorance of facts concerning how the entire
business runs. Affiliate marketing is not as simple as an
affiliate promoting a merchant's wares through his website and
getting paid for it. It is also about knowing the market and the
customers at hand.

Discovering what the most common mistakes affiliates make can
perhaps dispel the gloom about myths surrounding affiliate
marketing by correcting some wrong notions about it. It might
also be able to make those concerned understand that like any
other business, there are dos and donts involved in this one if
they want to make each of their steps count. 

The first common mistake affiliates make is their lack of
knowledge concerning principles involved in their business. This
refers to the affiliate's knowledge of search engines in
particular.

Affiliate marketing involves advertising, and advertising
through the internet could not have been better without the
existence of search engines. What every affiliate has to do is
to make these search engines his best friend through studying
search engine optimization closely. This way, he is able to know
what to do in connection with building a better website to
ultimately use for his business.

The second is that affiliates make the mistake of stuffing their
sites with banners that do not provide enough information about
the product at hand. The best way to battle this mistake is to
provide good content sprinkled with affiliate links. It is
important for customers to know and understand the features of a
product, and good content will be able to help them realize this
goal.

The third is that there are affiliates who make the mistake of
promoting only one product. Consequently, customers are not
given enough options to choose from. There is also the risk of
generating fewer sales as compared to having more options for
customers ponder about. It is always better to give them a few
better alternatives than to give them only one. 

The fourth is that there are affiliates who make the mistake of
promoting too many products. As a result, customers are confused
and end up beyond making a choice. It is perhaps good to give
them only the best choices. This is because it is ultimately up
to them to judge which one is the best for them to patronize.
Three different options seems to be the magic number. Give your
customers three things to choose from on any given subject.

All in all, affiliates that are doomed to fail in this business
are those who do not exert enough effort to understand
everything involved in the industry that they are in. Knowing
their path step by careful step will prove to be beneficial to
them, as there is no other way to succeed than to go through any
path slowly but surely.

Title: How To Use Joint Venture Marketing And Explode Your Profits

Author: Alan Cheng

Article:
Unless the person is a newbie, I'm sure they would have heard of
the concept of Joint Ventures and how it will benefit their
business immensely. However as with most materials or
suggestions which people read, the majority will only read. No
action will be taken. 

I've listed out below the advantages of Joint Venture Marketing.
Forget whatever you have in mind of doing and just read through
these advantages. At the same time think to yourself how you can
implement these in your online business. 

Takes notes of the things you think you'll do and at the end,
plan it out and take action. The gold is there waiting for you
to take it.

A joint venture is working together with another party so that
both sides can benefit from the combined effort. Normally the
project is for a set period of time or even long term in some
circumstances.

For example, you can offer a well-known business an opportunity
to promote your product. For every copy of your product they
sell, they can receive let's say 70% of the commission. That's a
lot more than you.

However, you benefit by having more customer leads, plus you
still get 25% of the sales which you would have never have
gotten. With these new customer leads, you can market other
products to them and profit in the future. This is why Joint
Ventures are a WIN-WIN situation.

10 Advantages of Joint Ventures

1. You get to be more well known among your market and also have
relationships with well known businesses which in effect will
help you immensely in the future.

2. There is no cost associated with Joint Ventures. Just an
email to the business you want to joint venture with and some
phone calls to follow up with.

3. You can gain new customers and leads which are interested in
your products but have not bought from you. With this database
you can market to them continuously in the future and profit. It
is always said that the gold is in the list.

4. With a joint venture, you will make be able to compete
against the top businesses which you would have otherwise
thought was impossible.

5. You will save a lot of time. To get the leads you have by
doing it on your own will take a lot more time and money
marketing.

6. You will get free and low cost advertising. Save money on the
Pay Per Click campaigns and solo ads you need to send out. You
have shared the costs with your joint venture partner.

7. Your business will be able to expand and grow out your own
expectations.

8. You can increase the opt-in list for your ezine (if you have
one) and save money on the email leads you buy which are low in
quality compared with the joint venture leads you have.

9. You can test the marketability of your product at no cost.
Your joint venture partner's success will tell you if your
product is good or simply trash.

10. You can easily get the well known joint venture partner to
give you a testimonial for your business. This will increase the
sales conversion for your product as testimonials increase trust
between the prospect and your business.

So after going throught the list and realising all the benefits
a joint venture can give you, what are you waiting for? Hasn't
that list of benefits defused the fear in you of asking for
joint ventures with other businesses or marketers?

With your list of actions and ideas that you have gotten when
you read through the list, go and take action now. When you've
done one joint venture you will do lots more.

To start you off on joint ventures, you can visit

an MP3 recording of 2 well known marketers and how they do joint
ventures to increase their business sales. 

Don't worry. The recording doesn't cost anything. Learn from the

they get.

Title: Beware of Get Rich Quick Scams!

Author: Serge

Article:
In the age of the internet, along with all the great benefits
came a massive surge and increased ease in which scam artists
are able to prey on their unsuspecting victims. On the net you
come across just about every type of scam imaginable, with
scheisters claiming they will offer you the "sun", "moon", and
"stars" for a measly $97! Well the age old addage is correct
about 99.99% percent of the time, if is too good to be true it
probably is. 

Having said that I think I may have come across an item that
acutually lives up to all its hype. This particular seller uses
a fairly unorthadox sales style of insulting his readers, and
coming across as very arrogant, rude and obnoxious. Although
this particular sales style makes you despise the writer, I
found I couldn't stop reading. 

The ebook I am refering to is "The Rich Jerk" by Kelly Felix.
http://www.earn-online.biz/richjerk.html "The Rich Jerk" is only
47 pages but I was instantly impressed by the amount of
practical, useable, concrete ideas for earning money on the net,
that he lays out clearly in this "how to manual". This 47 page
manual had more "meat" then some 250 page ebooks I have read.

If you are looking for a legitimate source of Ideas for making
some real money on the internet I would definetely reccomend the
"Rich Jerk" http://www.earn-online.biz/richjerk.html

 =Title: New Web Revenue Program Looks Promising

Author: Sean Labrock

Article:
Well, the pool of resources for generating income from your
website is growing. It's an exciting time for webmasters and
bloggers alike.

The latest addition is a program offered by a company named
Chitika.

Now, the neat thing about Chitika is that it can be used as both
a contextual advertisement (meaning the ads will automatically
be targeted to the content of the page) and a keyword-derived
advertisement. When set as a keyword ad, it is not considered
contextual, and it may be placed on the same page with Google
AdSense ads and Yahoo Publisher Network ads. We'll get into that
more later.

The Chitika ads show an image of a product along with anywhere
from two to four tabs which reveal new content with each mouse
over. This actually offers a small interactive feel to your web
page. As of this writing, the tabs read description, search,
best deals and reviews. 

The ads are attractive and organized, and, most importantly,
manage to avoid that gaudy appearance which comes with some ad
programs.

From the Chitika site, users can choose from ten different ad
sizes which vary enough to find the perfect one for you site.

Webmasters can also alter the color of the ads and blend them
into their site's theme and feel.

The inventory from Chitika is rather large but contains mostly
products. Our main site, 
HREF="http://www.NJLawman.com">http://www.NJLawman.com, is
about police and law enforcement issues, and finding product ads
which would perform well in the context of a law enforcement
website has been challenging. 

Sites covering technology and related issues would probably do
better since there is a seemingly never-ending supply of cell
phone, computer, and iPod advertisements.

Earnings per click (EPC) has also been challenging for our site,
but we have been using keyword ads that are generally low
paying. There have been many posts, though, in top-shelf
webmaster forums reporting high earnings. 

Click through rate (CTR) has been low for us, however, our
audience is primarily made up of police officers, so cell phone
and iPod ads are clearly not targeted. Remember, as much as
everyone loves great EPC, if your ads are not targeted to your
site's audience, they will probably get very few clicks.

The "Reports" page of the Chitika control panel is very basic
and doesn't even compare to that offered by AdSense and YPN.
However, Chitika has assured they are working on it and there's
more to come.

Finally, as touched on above, one of the great features of
Chitika is the ability to place Chitika ads on pages with
AdSense or YPN. Both of those programs prohibit placing other
contextual advertising on the same page with their ads. However,
when you set your Chitika ads to be keyword targeted, they are
not considered contextual, and you may place them on a page
which contains AdSense or YPN ads. This is excellent for
maximizing revenue.

All in all, we give high marks to the Chitika program, but it
won't be for everyone. You should, though, try it out and see if
it's for you.

Good luck and good earnings!

       Title: The Rich Jerk or the Real Jerk

Author: Theressa Kritz

Article:
The Rich Jerk affiliate program provides information for anyone
to become rich using the World Wide Web.

He has labelled himself correctly, "The Rich Jerk".

Now if you go off and purchase his ebook, you can make some
serious cash, if you put in the time and effort. Just like any
other program out there that claims it can help you make money
over the internet, you don't just buy it read it and instantly
you are rich.

Please keep in mind that just because you may make lots of money
with this ebook information, you by no means need to also become
a jerk. There are lots of poor jerks and rich nice people out
there. He is smart though to create a "name" for himself and one
that is very catchy.

I would rate this a 4 out of 5 compared to the many many ebooks
out there like this kind.

If you wish to view the site and see what it has to offer,
please click the link below.

If you like what you see then of course purchase the ebook, what
do you have to lose? There is a 45-day money back guarantee and
not shipping costs due to downloading right from the site.
