In the digital/online space, effective content is one that provides relevant and valuable information to individuals along the continuum of Visitors--Leads--Customers. This is what Inbound marketing captures.
What then is Inbound marketing?
According to Hubspot Academy, Inbound marketing is the process of attracting customers through relevant and helpful content which adds value to them. Online content can be in form of video marketing, social media marketing or blogging.
Blogging is one of the commonest methods of online content and can be used for all stages of Inbound marketing.
WHAT ARE THE STAGES OF INBOUND MARKETING?
The stages of inbound marketing are:
· Attract
· Convert
· Close
· Delight
HOW TO IMPLEMENT INBOUND MARKETING USING BLOGGING ATTRACT
Your goal is to use a blog post to attract strangers to your website and transform them into your visitor on getting to your website. Your blog post should contain relevant keywords and information that answers your visitor's questions, meet their needs and provide insights into helping them achieve their goals.
CONVERT
After attracting your website visitors, you convert these visitors into leads using website email forms and chat messaging channels where your prospects can submit their contacts such as email address or phone number. This provides a communication channel to continuously provide relevant information, build rapport and credibility with your prospects.
This is achieved by using automated email sequences to send your prospects messages in order to build credibility and to identify their problems and goals.
Subsequently, you can send them specific information about the benefit of your products and how it will solve their problems. This is called PRESELLING. Preselling increases conversion rate and the odds of making sales.
NB- Prospects buy only from marketers they trust thus do not sell your products to a prospect immediately you get their contact. Build rapport first and get to know them.
DELIGHT
This is when a customer has been thoroughly satisfied with your product/service and becomes a loyal customer. Also, your customers may even go the extra mile to refer friends and families to you.
HOW TO INCREASE BLOG POST ENGAGEMENTS, CONVERSIONS, AND SALES
Identify your buyer's persona
You need to clearly identify your ideal buyer's demographics, interests, needs and goals. This helps you to attract the right customer and increase your conversion rate.
Consider your buyer's journey stage
The content of your blog post should be determined by whether your client has knowledge about what your product/service is or not. If your target reader has no knowledge about your product/service then you have to simplify your information and educate them until they can make a buying a decision.
Organic traffic methods often do not attract visitors/prospects that fit your buyer's persona.
In contrast, paid traffic enables you to target the specific persona of your ideal buyer while setting up the ads campaign. This method increases your conversion rate and online sales when properly implemented.
If you want to build a passive income online, you're going to need to use automation. Passive income is revenue that you earn today (and tomorrow) through the efforts you put in yesterday and today. Of course, earning passive income does involve work up front but if you build your automation systems correctly, you'll be able to take breaks and do less work while your income continues to rise on autopilot.
Your Blog
There are plenty of blogging activities that you can set to automate your online business so you can focus on more important parts of running your business. Schedule posts to go live on your blog in advance. If you can work your business a quarter ahead, you'll find that you will make a lot more money due to being prepared.
Autoresponders
These are great email marketing automation tools. You can set up an automated series for all your products or services, whether paid or free, that will automatically go to the people who sign up to your email list.
Email automation allows you to do a lot of your email marketing hands-off. You don't have to manually do everything. You can schedule autoresponder emails to go out and set up a sales funnel that works for you night and day.
Publish an eBook
When you write your own eBook, it's a great way to do work up front and then use it to get more customers and clients by telling people about it. Writing an eBook is not as challenging as you may think. It takes nothing but time to write an eBook. Just write every time you have 10 or 15 minutes of free time. Plenty of successful authors, of both eBooks and physical books, do it this way.
Sign Up As An Affiliate
An affiliate earns a proportion of sales that are made through their link. Even if you have your own products, locate good quality affiliate products to promote to your audience too. Work with companies that provide life-long cookies to help build your passive income.
Use Akismet For Comment Moderation
Reading, approving and replying to your comments takes time. This is one of the tasks many bloggers know is necessary, but can quickly become irritating and disheartening. Use the WordPress plug-in Akismet to do much of the work for you. There are filters and settings you put in place to take care of the vast majority of comment approvals for you.
A big number of videos are being viewed on Facebook every day. And now that Facebook's algorithm prioritizes video over other types of posts, you've probably also included video in your Facebook paid advertising strategy.
Like every other piece of content on that site, yours is competing for your target audience's attention. This means that while your videos are getting views, they might not actually keep your audience's interest for long. Worse, it won't lead to your ultimate goal-getting conversions.
Luckily, Facebook has a feature to measure how long your audiences view your videos, and then some. By understanding all these tools, Facebook allows you to work around what your audiences consider interesting. It can help you develop better strategies for video marketing.
Audience Retention
This feature shows your video's retention over time. That includes:
• the average view duration
• the total views for the first 28 days since it was uploaded, and
• the number of users who watched your video to completion or for 30 seconds.
Audience retention is useful for knowing how long people spend watching your videos. For instance, you could find that within ten seconds, your audience views dropped by 40 per cent. With this information in mind, you can create shorter content to keep your audience intrigued by what you offer.
If in the middle of your video you find that there was a large drop in views, try to find what people didn't find engaging, and work on it.
Facebook will be adding new and even more useful features to measure audience retention. They are currently not available yet, but we're rounding up how it can benefit content creating more.
Followers vs. Non-followers
This metric segregates viewers who are followers and non-followers of a page. This can help provide insights as to which people are able to reach your content and the kind of audience you want your page to attract.
Zoom Chart
The Zoom Chart helps you manage your data more accurately by letting you look closer at your stats to see which moments in your video are more engaging than the rest. This can help you create more content that focuses on something your audience considers engaging.
Audience Demographics
This metric helps you measure your audiences' retention by gender. In other words, you'll be able to see whether male or female viewers have longer video retention.
While creating content is not always easy, measuring what your audiences consider interesting can help. In the golden age of videos, it can seem like your advertising campaign could be fighting to stay relevant. By understanding what your customers want, you can come up with more ways to create engaging videos.
Whether you're hiring a company to assist you with your videos for Facebook paid advertising or creating them by yourself, it helps to know how to use these features for measuring your videos' impact on Facebook.
In this article, I will give you 6 Reasons A Beginning Marketer Should Start With Affiliate Marketing.
If you are wanting to start an online business but you don't know where to start, I think you should really give affiliate marketing a try. The reason I would start with this technique is that it's by far the easiest to get started with and has just about no upfront cost at all.
So let's take a look at 6 Reasons A Beginning Marketer Should Start With Affiliate Marketing.
1. MANY OUT THERE TO CHOOSE FROM
Just about all the companies out there have affiliate programs you can join. And not just small companies but the really BIG COMPANIES as well. Such as Walmart, Bestbuy, Amazon, JVZoo, Warrior Plus, eBay, and tons of others. All you have to do is do a Google Search with "the company name" and put affiliate program behind it like this (example. Walmart Affiliate Program)
2. FREE TO JOIN
Affiliate programs pay you to promote their products and it's free to join them, so no upfront cost for you. Now depending on the company will depend on how much commission you will make. As an example, Walmart pays 8% commissions. And most vendors on JVZoo will pay a 50%-100% commissions depending on the vendor and product. While Amazon typically pays 4-8.5% depending on your seller rank.
3. NO PRODUCTS TO MAKE
When you do affiliate marketing you don't have to worry about creating a product because you are simply promoting someone else's product. This is a no-brainer and you don't have to have any skills in creating products from scratch. All of the hard work such as building a website, create awesome graphics for a product, paying someone to write the copy for the sales page are all already done for you. All you need to do is drive people to the page.
4. NO PRODUCTS TO SHIP
When you do affiliate marketing you will never have to struggle with having to ship a product because the vendor takes care of all of this. And it doesn't matter if it's a digital product or a physical product. The vendor takes care of all the hard work for you. All you do is get people to have a look at their products and if they buy you get paid and they ship or deliver the digital products.
5. MANY PLACES TO PROMOTE
There are unlimited ways you can promote these affiliate products. You can use email, Facebook, YouTube, Forums (read their rules and regulations before posting), Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, etc. Even if you are a beginner you can make some good passive income. To me, the easiest way to make affiliate sales though is to use your emails list. If you don't have one, start building one now. Build a good relationship with your list and once they trust you and you send them affiliate promotions and they like the offer they will buy from you.
6. NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT
Another great thing is you don't have to handle customer support. Everything is done for you.

To build a successful career as a Solopreneur consultant requires courage, resilience, possession of marketable skills and relationships with people who are willing and able to refer or endorse you for paid project assignments. Solopreneur consultants must have a talent for selling, the discipline to create and pursue business goals, a knack for big picture thinking and implementing strategies and an understanding of human nature and motivation. The ability to attract good luck and dodge bad luck helps, too.
Precious few Solopreneurs are able to just "go to the office" everyday and delve into the usual work. In order to generate the preferred amount of business revenue, we understand that creating multiple revenue streams may be necessary and to make that possible, we must recognize the marketability of our skill sets, in aggregate and in segments. As well, we must learn to package, promote and sell our skills and value to prospective clients.
Consider my revenue streams, for example. When asked, in my short form elevator pitch I say that I'm a self-employed external consultant who provides business strategy and marketing solutions to mid-size for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. What that means in reality is that I've facilitated strategic planning meetings at not-for-profit organizations; edited a 100 page nonfiction book and also served as its photo editor and project manager; developed curriculum for a series of 90 minute sales skills training workshops; and periodically I teach business plan writing.
I've been fortunate enough to regularly win business strategy development or marketing campaign assignments, but the fact is that there are often gaps and in response, I've learned to branch out and offer segments of my skill set to clients or employers as a way to maintain my required cash-flow and, whenever possible, also enhance my brand. In my experience, it's the ability to leverage one's perhaps infrequently promoted competencies that help Solopreneurs to create and sustain a profitable business venture.
My friend Adela is a busy educational consultant who works with college bound high school juniors and their parents to identify suitable colleges for the student and navigate the application process. Adela's business appears to be thriving, yet she nevertheless teaches Spanish at a local university (she was born and raised in Mexico and came to the U.S. to attend Notre Dame University).
Jackie, a friend of many years, is the founder and manager of a small, full-service fitness center that became very successful in that highly competitive market, yet she teaches a fitness class at another gym a few miles away. Why? Because she gets to observe another style of fitness center management from the inside, she receives training in new fitness techniques that she can evaluate for inclusion in her own gym and she earns a few extra dollars each week, something that a mother of four can always use. Sometimes you can get paid to research the competition!
My friend Carole toggles between freelance marketing gigs at technology companies and corporate positions in that sector. She's a Lotus alumna who's also worked for tech giant EMC, distinctions that command respect and open doors in the tech industry. In between corporate gigs, Carole goes out on her own to develop marketing strategies for tech start-ups. A couple of years ago, she was offered a position as director of marketing at one of those start-ups, but when the inevitable reorganization occurs, she'll re-enter Solopreneur life.
So, Solopreneur friend, I invite you to put on your thinking cap and brainstorm how you can create additional revenue streams by exploring how certain segments of your skill set can be packaged and promoted to current and prospective clients!

Being an entrepreneur is no easy task by far. You have to wear a lot of hats, especially when your business is just starting out and you are solely taking care of every aspect involved in managing your business.
Mastering the skills necessary to start and maintain a new business can be time-consuming and exhausting. Getting your business started and off the ground can be expensive as well. You want to advertise in every way you can. Selling tools can be costly. I suggest you do your homework before hand and attend workshops and expos so you can obtain as much information as you can so you will know how to market your brand and capture your target customers.
Fortunately there are a lot of educational resources online for those who might not be able to get out as much as they would like to or be able to link up with others to learn about business management and or marketing.
If you want to be the best Entrepreneur you can you need to know certain things when seeking to start and develop a business. You need to know about building websites and blogs, marketing your products, money management, how to attract customers, etc.
Google and YouTube can be informational if you have access to a computer. There are even Podcasts via iTunes that available to help with your research on certain subjects involved with the type of business you are seeking to start and some how to tips.
Think it over for a while and make sure you are ready for the task of becoming an Entrepreneur. It will involve many long days and nights. You will go to bed late and rise up early in the morning with a full plate in front of you in conjunction with managing your business. It is truly a full-time job especially if you are working solo with no one else to delegate certain responsibilities to that would shorten your daily to do list.
Being an Entrepreneur definitely requires patience. There will be highs and lows in your journey to get where you want to be in your business. There will also be some mistakes made along the way but it will teach you what not to do the next time. There will be times of frustration but you can't let quitting be your way to opt out because you can't reach your goals quick enough.
When in business we have to make wise decisions not rushed ones because we are anxious for faster results. Time can be our friend or our worst enemy.
Entrepreneurs seek to master the skills needed to be successful. Patience gives us the ability to work steadfast toward our goals. Let your mindset be one of consistency and perseverance, giving up is not an option. Think positive, crush defeat under your feet.
The life of your business is what you yourself invest into it. You get back results based on your efforts put in building, managing and marketing your brand. Good Customer Service is a must. Mix and mingle with your potential customers, be informational, not too much and not too little. In most cases we market ourselves through social media before we even decide to market something that we are passionate about. This is actually beneficial for you because friends can turn into potential buyers. They are already familiar with your personality which in most cases is a plus when people are choosing who they can do good business with.
Bottom line you have to be content with the pace your business is progressing until it arrives at the pace you desire it to be. When you operate in a non anxious state of mind it is easier to handle your business and it allows you to stay grounded in times of lack as well as times of increase.
Maintaining ones own business will present its challenges. You have to be prepared to encounter obstacles and be able to roll with the punches. You have to be willing as I have said before to stay committed and dedicated and trust in the possibility of a rewarding outcome.
Building a business takes time. Nothing grows to its full potential overnight it takes months of planning and nurturing and often reinventing your brand until it grows into what you want it to be. Remember think things through before making rash decisions which could lead to the decline or demise of your business.
Keep in mind all you have invested and how far you have come before you just give up, you might be closer than you think to a breakthrough in reaching your target audience who want what you are selling. This could lead to more doors opening with bigger and better things waiting for you and your business. Have Faith and continue to work diligently with humility and patience.
Never try to take on too much, plan, take steps at a pace you can handle without stressing yourself out. keep your brand visible so much that it begins to intrigue people to the point where they will keep coming back to get a glimpse of what you are doing and what new things you have to offer.
Think Big, Reach Big, Believe in yourself and keep working to make your dreams or plans a reality.
This is why online marketing is becoming so popular. By marketing online you have the potential to reach the entire world and it offers you a number of avenues that you can choose from. Through online marketing, you can use social media, make online videos, and create blogs, and that is just the tip of the iceberg on the many different kinds of things you can do with marketing through the internet.
Social Media: One of the most popular online marketing options is social media. Just about everyone on the planet has a social media account and there are a number of different social media websites you can choose from for maximum reach. These websites are great because they store valuable information you can use for the benefit of your company. You can easily find the analytic data you need to determine where and who you need to market to in order to have the most exposure.
Social media also gives you the chance to reach out to your clients and customers. You can interact with them, talk to them, and make the business more personalized to your support base.
Online Videos: There are a number of good video streaming websites out there that frequently see billions of visitors on a regular basis. These websites are a great way to market your website. By making creative videos that relate to your clients, you can effectively market your business. And if your videos are well-received, they may even go viral and reach millions if not billions of people within a very short amount of time.
Clients who enjoy your videos can even subscribe to you and follow your uploads over time. This way you can generate a following that enjoys the videos you release while also generating interest in the services and products that you are offering.
Blogs: Another way you can use the internet to market your products, services, or business is through blogs. Creating blogs is a great way to get the information you want out to your clients. Your blogs can be anything you want but make sure they are related to your business. By using blogs, you can do a number of things. You can create informational posts, posts about your products and services, and you can also create tips that can help your clients.
Through blogs, you are able to communicate what your business is about while being informative and helpful. Blogs can also be used to make it easier to find your website through means such as SEO which is a tool used by professional web designers to help direct traffic to your site.
Websites: Having your own website is like uploading your store or business onto the internet. Here you can provide your services and products at the convenience of your client. A great custom designed website can be a huge benefit for your company as this allows you to reach potential customers across the world. Without the internet or websites, other you would only have access to local clients.
However, it is important to make sure that you create a well optimized website that is easy to browse and use for your clients. Having a great custom website design company help you during this process can make it easier for you to create the digital storefront you need for the success of your company.
There is no doubt that online marketing is changing not only how we do business but also the world. We have the ability to connect with people across the world through our finger tips. We can communicate, do business, and help each other through the internet. This is why online marketing is so powerful, because it has the potential to reach everyone.
If saving for retirement is a struggle, imagine yourself if you lost a job. More and more people really take care of their own retirement security. To avoid unnecessary financial constraints, create a plan to reduce debt as you approach retirement. Design your savings and spending plans.
Retirement planning is definitely difficult, especially if the implications of your choices tend to get magnified. You'll need to determine the amount of savings needed for your desired lifestyle. A spending strategy is equally important. However, rather than following a budget, many people spend more than what comes in.
Determine your annual base or mandatory expenses on food, clothing, shelter, utilities, medical, and transportation expenses. Also consider investing in long-term health care insurance which can typically cover the cost of home care, nursing-home care, and assisted living which is not usually covered by traditional health insurance.
Safeguarding your finances while you are still employed will help you become financially stable even after retirement. Many people are anxious when their retirement years are fast approaching. Imagine being at that point in your life and feeling you haven't achieved your goals yet. It could get especially worrisome if you don't have enough savings to be able to sustain your lifestyle after you retire. So, you need to enjoy spending within your means.
Securing a retirement fund is definitely needed if you want to live comfortably. The best time to start saving for your future is now. Not next year, not next week, not tomorrow, and not even later. Start planning for retirement at this very moment. It's better to start sooner than later. The earlier you plan, the more time you have to save money, pay off debt, and invest in the future. You also give yourself some leg room in case you make a bad decision and need to recover from a mistake. If you start investing late, then you lower the possibility of accomplishing your retirement plans.
Consistency is essential in saving money for your retirement. At first, it may be difficult, but you'll find it easier to save as you get along. One of the solutions for this is to set aside savings every month, even just a small amount. Save more as you go along-but never, never go below the initial savings amount.
Planning may be easy, but it's the willingness and determination to stick to your plans that could bend at times. It's important to have a clear vision ahead. No matter how far away your retirement years may seem, it is always a good idea to learn how to manage your personal finances. Those people who know how to manage their money succeed in allotting enough money not just for their savings but also for other financial matters.
It's important to create a budget. Separate your needs from your wants and try to track your spending on a monthly basis by listing down all your expenses. Seeing where you spend your money can help you sort out your priorities and plan how you can save more from your income and spend less on non-important expenses.
Retiring from work is a major leap in one's life. Prepare for the inevitable as early as now and assure a financially stable future for yourself and your family.
My greatest fear along with most Americans would be if we will outlive our money during retirement or if we will have enough money to retire on at all. As long as our government lives on separate terms than the people they govern I foresee millions of Americans suffering from financial strife later on down the road. Most Americans truly think that Social Security is going to be enough to get them through their twilight years. I personally think that Social Security will not be around from most of us and if you are depending on Social Security to support you during your twilight years, you will find out that it will not be enough. Social Security was only created to subsidize your investments, retirement plans, and/or savings. It was not created to act as a retirement plan.
Since I have had the luxury of being affiliated with the banking industry for over 30 years now I have seen thousands of saving accounts of senior citizens that had less than $10,000 in them. I spoke in Northern California back in 2004 where I mentioned that the many jobs that kids and young teenagers use to occupy would no longer exist due to senior citizens not having the money to retire. I was laughed off the stage by 6000 people. Who's laughing now!. There are no longer paperboy jobs for kids due to the senior citizens now occupying those jobs. I also stated that most of the fast food jobs along with Walgreens and CVS jobs would no longer be occupied by high school teens and they would be replaced by senior citizens, just take a look around and tell me it is not happening right in front of your eyes. People are no longer laughing. I also told people at that seminar that I foresee tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people homeless in the next 10 to 20 years.
You might want to take notice of thousands of people taking up residence under freeway ramps all over the nation. They are living in tents and bathing in fast food restaurants bathrooms. This is happening in the greatest nation on earth. You can keep looking the other way but very soon you will not have any other place to look. If the government does not do something very soon, all that you know will come to an abrupt end.
I wrote "The Essential Keys To Financial Freedom" book to educate the American people of their many financial options that still exist today. If the American people sit around and do nothing they will end up in financial distress in the next 10 to 20 years. You must sit down with a financial advisor as soon as possible before it is too late. For More information; visit me at: http://www.drmarkhuddleston.com
Everyone no matter their age, they all want to know how to be rich, how to hack life and make it financially. The significant driving force has been the perception that wealth or money means everything or can buy you all and make you happy. Millions of books have been written since the ancient times and yet you will find yourself looking for more and hopefully direct and easy ways around how to just make it. Well, you did great reading this article since you will see that most of what you need to make it you already have it.
Most young people just want to hack life and make it all at once without that effort nor patience of learning. This has created severe habits such gambling and fraud as a means to get rich quick. The other vice that has risen due to the elusive fact that all can make it is a generation of desperate and drug-addicted youths who believe that their fate is already sealed. This article is a wakeup call and a call to action to drop page thumping and expecting to find that one magical trick. You are all that you need.
How to start.
To begin with, by reading this means that you are ready and willing to make something out of yourself, get your head straight now and acknowledge that you have a working brain and a desire to make it.
The second move is to dream and make sure that you do not just imagine. The moment you can visualize anything in your head means that you can be able to make it happen for real.
Go ahead and write down your plan and evaluate how you are planning to achieve that. This, therefore, has to begin with small ideas and seeing them through. You cannot start planning for a Ferrari, and you do not own an account even. Start small and be patient to look at the fruits of your hard work.
Patience as a value comes in hand even when managing your wealth later in life. You have to carry out planned and well-calculated risk and wait patiently and trust in yourself that it will work.
The other thing is growing some balls because the moment you start investing you will have to be ready for risks and failures. Do not dwell on the failures instead move on and have better plans, do not lose focus but keep the desires, and all will work eventually.
Lastly, when you start making something, reinvest and work to grow bigger. Instead of celebrating and blowing up everything take it back and let it grow. Always have the mentality of safeguarding the capital you input at any time and then re-invest the profits for growth.
Conclusion.
The smart ones only win the money game and wealth creation. By accessing such information, you have been made smart, and that means you can go forth and grow yourself to whatever level you want.

Web promotion is a simple process of increasing the exposure of your website among a target audience so that you can get more visitors on your web pages on a regular manner. The process of increasing the visibility of a website involves a lot of tasks. Some of them may seem complex and some are very easy. No matter whether they are easy or tough, you cannot avoid them when you wish to have a successful website and need to earn profit through the same. Thus, web promotion is important and you need it at every step.
Irrespective of the nature, age or size of the business promotion or advertisement is imperative for getting new clients and keeping the relationship intact with the existing ones.
Creating Brand Awareness
Web promotion is mainly needed for creating brand awareness which is important for the modern enterprises. Modern buyers prefer to believe on the brand name and check the brand reputation. Thus, they look for the top bands of the market when buying some products or services. You can make your brand name popular among your target audiences with the help of a right web promotion technique. This is also important to increase the overall market value of your business.
Open New Business Opportunities
Growth is the main thing in any kind of business. When you apply the right web promotion techniques then you can gain more business opportunities that can ensure your rapid growth. You can always enjoy having new scopes of working with other big names of this industry and become a reputed one. Collaboration with different other companies and brands can make your business more successful. But that cannot be possible until you apply an effective web promotion plan and make the other enterprises aware of your business and B2B offerings.
Increased Rate Of Traffic
After all, the main motto of developing a website is to gaining a good flow of traffic every day and transforming them into leads and then obtaining sales from them. All these can happen one after another when you apply an accurate and efficient web promotion strategy. Without this your website cannot achieve a good flow of traffic. That means the conversion rate will be slow and that makes your lead generation as well as sales ineffective. You cannot make people convinced about your services or goods until you bring them on your web pages. The web promotion method will do this job for you.

Have you ever searched the internet looking for ways to make money?
According to Ninja Outreach, there are 500+ different ways to make money online today. Many of the programs that are promoting a way of "How to make money online," being sold today are not fresh but used and now being monetized or worse. Learn the things to watch for because some people just want your money, and to keep you busy until the 30-day money back guarantee is up.
Some are set up just to continuously tap your credit card or bank account by up-selling "must have" products, for best results of course. Make sure that you watch out for the extra must-have purchases or up-sells. If that starts shortly after your initial purchase, then it might be a warning sign of more to come.
After some really good training at Wealthy Affiliate University, I now know how to spot the opportunists that are just out to get my money and give back as little as possible. I think that it's very important that we all be able to spot the actors and learn ways to avoid being taken advantage of before a con artist gets hold of our credit card or bank account.
I heard a "fact" that 90% of everyone that buys a product related to internet marketing online, at some point, feel as though they've been ripped off. I really dislike being taken advantage of and I'm sure that you do too.
There are some things that I look at and for
Once you become aware of what to look for in a good program it becomes really easy to see in most cases whether you should invest your time and money or not. Knowing the ways to avoid scams online can save someone a lot of aggravation and money.
Someone may contact you and say that you're already a winner and you just need to give some personal info in order to collect your prize, maybe your bank information so that they can direct-deposit your winnings, and they may need your social security number for the taxman too of course.
Con-men have figured out just what works on people to get what they want from them while giving as little as possible themselves.
Most have a few things in common other than the obvious and if you can learn to spot the warning signs and not dismiss them but take note and think twice about the situation, you might not fall prey to someone's trap.
Here are some signs that should make you hesitate and think twice about the situation.
1. If it sounds too good to be true then it possibly is.
Even though a 100% legitimate program can be made to sound "too good to be true" with a great sales pitch, this is definitely true with a scam, they can make up anything and lie and deceive us if we're not alert to some things. Hustlers will prey on the fact that many would love to make money fast and with little effort and they have no idea how the whole online business world operates, so they are lied to, or misinformed, and conned into purchasing the bait. The scheme will dangle a carrot of easy money to distract you from what they're really after and that's your personal and/or bank info.
2. Act Now - Don't Wait!
Some scammers are notorious for creating a sense of urgency and they try to get you to act quicker by disturbing your thought process. They use that false sense of urgency to distract you from what they really want, your money.
Even though it is possible to earn thousands of dollars per week online, it ain't easy!
A point to be made here is that there is a definite difference between an offer that is just low quality in what it delivers and a swindle. A scam is a deliberate rip-off, a dishonest scheme, and a fraud.
The truth is that although you have the impression in your mind that you'll be making money in a matter of weeks, it may take much longer and cost a lot more than you originally thought.
As with any business, there are various tools that need to be used for best results. Some of these offers will include everything but most will "up-sell" some things as must-have items for you to purchase separately. This is just something to watch for when purchasing a product or program.
Example: you purchase a program to make money online for $199. Sounds great, but then after getting done with the first lesson or stage, you are sold a must-have product to help with the program for $50. There could be a few of these surprises hidden in the program and after a while, your total spent amount is $500. I would like to know that before I purchase anything and I'm sure that you would too.
3. No or false contact info on their website
If you can't find any way to contact the seller on their site then be very careful. If they're hard to contact you'll be disappointed because if you have any questions you need them to respond quickly with the answers. For you to feel confident making a purchase you'll want the safe feeling that you can get in touch and get a problem solved within a reasonable amount of time and not wonder if the support even received or cares about your claim.
4. Up-sells
As mentioned earlier, if after your purchase you are encouraged to then buy an additional product so that you can get the full benefit of your purchase, that's not a good sign. Your newly bought product needs you to buy another product in order for it to work properly. This could be just the start of more up-sells coming to grab some more of your money. Keep watch out for that because you could start out with a $20 purchase and end up with $500 in receipts... yikes, what happened! Now my product should work just fine right? This is why I've learned to always recommend products that you can try out first.
5. Outrageous claims to success
When you see commercials or video of these guys driving around in their Lamborghini's and welcoming you into their fancy million dollar homes and sailing around on their yachts, there's a good chance that you should change the channel because their product is not worth your time or energy. Their sales pitch is really their product and the product being sold most likely isn't worth half the price to you. The images of money and luxury that they show you in their sales pitch can make you want to buy their product even knowing that it very well could be a rip-off.
6. Deliberately slow your progress
There are some also that will only allow you to do 1 or 2 lessons per day saying that they don't want you to be overwhelmed when their program is really shallow and basic and you could do the whole course in a few days if they allowed you to.
Even though someone can get a website framed and started, it can take months for one person to fill it up with pages and posts, images, etc. Then you need to be able to draw traffic to the site or nobody will see it. Learning SEO, or search engine optimization is essential to ranking in the search engines.
>>>It's really like any other business, you need to keep investing time and energy into it to get anything out of it, and if you neglect it, it will certainly bear less fruit for you.<<<
Well, those are just 6 ways to avoid scams online and keep from being taken advantage of.
I think the best thing for someone to do is to get a website and start a blog about something that you can write about on a regular basis, a passion or hobby of yours. Know that it will take some time to build up your site to the point where it actually starts making money, so you would need to settle down and keep producing blog posts even after your site is full of content.
>>> Did you know that you can learn how to make your own websites and also set up your own platform for selling products of your own or affiliating or reaching the world with your message. <<<

One of the biggest challenges most people have is coming up with a good idea. Whether it's for a business, product, an invention or just a way to make a few extra bucks on the side. The main problem most people I talk with give is all the good ideas seem taken already.
I found that to be true for most people who expect good ideas to come to them. Or they like waiting for a light bulb to go off or lightening to strike. But there are specific steps or techniques anyone can use to help good ideas come to you instead of you having to wait for them.
The Number One Mistake Most People Make Is...
I admit trying to come up with a totally new idea caused me the most frustration like it does most others. But I found a better, quicker, and easier way is to simply work to improve on an idea. Because more money is made off of idea improvements than original ideas.
In fact, people who try to create original ideas fail 10 times more often than people who focus on idea improvements.
There's Always Room for Improvement
Those five words above should work to encourage and inspire you to focus on idea improvements. Yes, whatever the product, service, or business you see, focus on improvement.
No matter how saturated the market appears at first glance, focus on improvement. Yes, improvements and profits are waiting for you to discover. Just take the time and small effort to follow the effective steps below.
3 Steps to Succeed When All Good Ideas Seem Taken
1. Add Something Extra
Thousands of successful new products are created each year by simply adding a new feature, twist or benefit. For example, cereals add more flavors, foods add more health benefits, cars add more safety features, and homes add more comforts and energy efficiency.
Service companies add more conveniences, comforts and amenities to their customers. Thinking of something extra you can add to an established product or service can pay big rewards. The key is knowing the unfulfilled wants and needs of your target market.
2. Take Something Negative Away
These days people are more cautious and careful than ever before. You'll find more people are willing to pay extra for not just what's in a product, but what's not in it as well. For example, salt-free, sugar-free, gluten-free, fat-free and the list goes on.
What negative can you take away or reduce in a product, service or idea? This could give you the foundation of a whole new market of customers.
3. Combine Two or More Ideas
If you can combine one or more successful ingredients, features or ideas you'd have a whole new product or service people could take notice of.
For instance, millions of people consumed peanut butter and millions of people consumed chocolate. So, an innovative candy company tried combining those two popular ingredients and came up with one of the most famous candy products in history, Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.
So when you find yourself having a hard time coming up with an idea product, or business try combining two or more successful product, service or business ideas. It works!
Conclusion
These are just a few of many ways to get creative ideas when all the good ideas seem taken. Use them to spark your creative juices. You'll discover they work... when you work them!

For all and the many articles, e-books and guru's on the web, the method to generating any sort of online income is usually fairly easy and remarkably simple.
1 -- Become an Affiliate!
Becoming an affiliate On the internet you can make you online income from home by prompting and advertising other peoples products and or services. This is by far the top acknowledged strategy to generate a big source of your online income from the internet.
To start with find an affiliate web site such as;
Click Bank
Payment Junction
Above are two of the most popular well known affiliate programs, but there are many, Do your research!
Once you have found your affiliate program(s).
Find a few products and or services preferably in a group that you know a bit about or you have done extensive research on. Preferably a product/service that provides or offers a subscription making it easier for you to generate a consistent online income from home.
Once you have chosen the products and services you wish to promote, the most profitable way of doing this is having your own website or blog.
Ensure the commission per sale is decent, do some keyword research to make sure there is a demand for the product/service. Immediately after understanding precisely what keywords and phrases people are using that relate to your offer, select a few of the keywords you researched that have low to medium competition. Then start to write articles and useful info surrounding the product/service you are promoting. SEO optimize your blog or website using the keywords you have researched to improve the blog, start posting your articles/reports around the internet. Once the targeted traffic quantities begin rising, utilize a number of adverts relating to the product/service you are promoting. after reading your articles/reviews people click the related adverts, and Bazinga! you just received your first pay check.
Now repeat the above and duplicate your success! before you know it you have 10 or maybe something like 20 information sites, or perhaps 100s if you wish to make a considerable online income from home.
2 -- Build a email list!
Building a list of potential buyer's to market your products to is another way to earn a considerable online income from home just by finding products to promote and sending the info to your list, when anyone on your list opens the email and buys the product or visits the site your promoting, you get paid. Knowing what type of market place you want to catch the attention of, assemble a totally free product or even just a relevant useful report people can download for free when they signup to your email list. Now just drive targeted traffic to a "landing page" that requires this visitors' email. You can also install plug-ins presently known as squeeze pages that pop up with an e-mail join box, when people check out your current page. This is a great way to build up a targeted client list to promote future products and offers to.
Make use of a great auto-responder such as aWeber (Paid for) or GetResponse (Free) to be able to email your current clients the link to be able to download the product or service or maybe high quality info you have to offer, as well as follow-up with a series of (automatically sent) e-mail. By offering top products and services and quality free info and advice over weeks and months, You can build some rapport with your subscribers and then sell them on numerous products or affiliate offers. Make sure you break it up though, it is advisable to offer something of value and free just about every 3-4 mail outs or so.
Imagine you build a list of 500 subscribers, offer them a product via a link in their email, and every person you refer that buys the product earns you £20 and only half your list (250) click through and buy the product you just made £5000 sending an email, and you can do this 1-2 a week! hell you could do this everyday but I advise against it remember nobody likes spam! I suggest 1-2 regular emails per week with occasional time based offers in between.
This is a fantastic method to put into action along side your affiliate plans and take you online income from home to the next level! Now imagine those earnings based on a list of 10,000+ subscribers! = Profit!!!
3 -- Sell products directly online
As we move further and further into the digital age, customers are buying more and more goods on the internet at a substantial pace. Because of this there are a lot of customers looking for just what YOU can supply them with.
Checkout these online store providers
Shopify.com (Paid)
FreeWebstore (Free/Paid upgrades)
and of course eBay (Various Fees)
They can supply you with all the tools, services and support you need to start generating your online income. You can source wholesalers and manufactures for the product you need directly on the internet BUT do your research first, and make sure you are dealing with reputable, reliable and responsive company before placing any big orders. If you are unsure of the company try a few small orders first to test their service once you are happy with the companies service and product quality go ahead and make a bulk order.
Numerous people have verified that Shopify.com is a wonderful platform to promote goods on the web. Open up a digital shop and promote it. People buy your products. The product or service is sent to them, while you kick back and think about how to spend your new found online income as it rolls in.
In the event Shopify is just not your current cup of tea, then you can try out eBay. As the saying goes, "One man's trash is usually an another man's treasure", and so have a look through your current cabinets as well as outdoor storage sheds don't forget the attic! and market off some of your current unwanted excess gifts.
Some people love to travel and find bargains and if your one of those people you can make a lot of money on eBay by finding and visiting garage sales, car boots even charity shops for well under priced products you can instantly turnaround and sell for a profit on eBay, I know several people who do this that come to mind, going out buying stuff, tidying it up and selling it online from home. Another is my auntie who I love dearly but she is a real horder, who sells occasionally just to fund her holidays.
4 -- Sell your own individual info product
Earn Online Income from home by selling your own product. Passionate about a specific subject or topic? Write an e-book, publish it and sell it online. Your information product may also come in the form of a DVD, software package, audio guide or maybe online video.
Selling your own information product unlike other peoples products, allows you to control a large percent of the earnings. You have greater flexibility with upsells as well as landing pages compared with selling other peoples products, this is a very lucrative business route to follow and depending on your product and marketing methods can generate a ridiculous online income from home at an alarming rate.
If promoted and produced successfully this can easily become #1 when it comes to online incomes from home, especially when you merge this with #2 and use your product to build and promote your list.
That Concludes my top four online income methods from home, I started with #1 I chose to promote a company called SFI as it was free and offered a multitude of different training marketing methods and support, but it wasn't until I branched out into methods #2 #3 and #4, that I really had the online income from home I wanted, these days I rarely work from home. With my new found income I suddenly found my friends an family pool increased accordingly too. So I maintain my online income from anywhere I can jump on Wi-Fi connection with my laptop or smartphone.
We all learn things at our own pace and style usually, inside the very first couple of months you will be generating around £10 - £20 daily (That a tank of gas, internet or phone bill covered at least), If you continue to duplicate these business models as well as create completely new content material for each of your niche's, your currently targeted traffic can only grow and grow therefore so will your online income from home, there is no reason at all why you couldn't be earning £100 a day online, that's the latest pair of shoes, clothes, gadgets on a daily basis or perhaps a weekend away with your partner, family and friends.
Wishing you the best of success on the internet and life in general!
