What’s the deal with Downline Secrets 2?

Posted by ishareusa on March 22, 2009

If you haven’t heard yet… James Grandstaff
has released “Part 2″ of his “Downline Secrets.”

Before I get to my review, I thought I should
play a little catch-up in case you have no
clue as to what Downline Secrets “Part 1″ is
about.

Basically with Downline Secrets part 1 you
get free access to a recorded call between
Mike Filsaime and James Grandstaff. Mike asks
James questions about the success he had
using InstantBuzz.com (a free advertising
resource) to grow his downline.

******http://linkbee.com/dlinesecrets2******

You get access to the MP3 and PDF transcript
of the call (which is nice because I don’t
always like to sit in front of my PC to read
or listen to content.)

During the call James reveals how he used
his free Instant Buzz traffic along with his
(now proven) 3 step strategy to explode his
downline into the thousands on complete auto
pilot.

The cool part is he did it while maintaining
his full time job as a PC support technician
in Michigan.

And from there you have the opportunity to
buy the same software that James developed
to grow his downline and use it to grow your
downline in any program you happen to be
involved in.

So all-in-all DownlineSecrets.com is a great
site and offers a lot of great info for free
on how to build your downline using the web.

What makes Downline Secrets “Part 2″ so much
better is that it takes over where Downline
Secrets 1 left off.

What I mean is this…

With Downline Secrets 1 you were left to
figure out all the technical stuff in order
to duplicate James’ results for your MLM
business. The software and detailed videos
are fantastic but you still have to come up
with the web copy, the hosting, the HTML
page design and so on… The yucky stuff.

Let’s just say his target market is much
smaller because if you don’t have the much
needed technical skills or the money to hire
those with the skills, you are pretty much
out of luck and can’t fully benefit from
the entire system he is teaching.

This time around you get access to a call
between James Grandstaff and Chris Zavadowski
who is also very successful in the MLM scene.
He grills James for over an hour and gets
all the must know secrets out of him.

The system James is offering this time is
over the top! He covers all the technical
stuff for us this time and everything is
completely set-up. All the technical issues
have been removed. This is great because
more people can now truly benefit from his
teachings and proven system.

Now, I want to let you in on something…

Once you register for the call below you
will see an offer for James’ Elite upgrade
membership. All I can say is ==> TAKE IT!

It’s only $47 bucks and for what you get
it’s simply mind blowing!

In a nut shell… he’s offering you a
professional designed lead capture page
that gives away a customized version of
his new manuscript called ‘How to Get Rich
Building a LAZY Downline!’

This PDF is first customized with your
affiliate links to several “generic” MLM
training resources. As you give this thing
away you will earn commissions from those
you refer who upgrade in any of the programs.

And since they’re all MLM related, the
conversion rates should be extremely high!

All you do is simply advertise the lead
capture page via the special link you get
and James’ software sends an email to your
prospects (with a link to your customized
PDF)

Everything is on auto-pilot!

Oh, and don’t worry, the traffic aspect is
even handled for you. Be sure to check out
the bonus that’s included :-)

See, I told you this thing was awesome.

As you can see, I’m totally excited about
this because it’s refreshing to see a great
product come along that is truly capable of
changing the lives of others.

So yes, Downline Secrets 2 gets my highest
recommendation!

Sign up below and buy everything ;)

Here’s the link:

Take care of your business and yourself :-)

To your success,

Blogging – What’s it all about?

Posted by ishareusa on January 13, 2009

If you are new to the blogging world you can learn what it’s all about and why blogs have become a must-have if you are trying to build a list of people to market to, make new friends, or just to share information that you would like everyone to see.

Blogging is one of the most popular Internet-related phenomenon’s that has incited the curiosity of millions of people all over the world; it represents a great opportunity for those who create blogs and for those who use them. Very often qualified as the trend of keeping personal diaries online, blogging is far more complex owing to the fact that every web log carries the touch of the owner’s imagination, interest and wit. The range of topics that blogs have are incredibly wide: from politics and economics to sky diving and snorkeling. The next very important aspect after blog content is actually the interactive format of the pages that allows users to take action on the site.

Part of the history of blogging includes the very first attempts to run an account of one’s personal life, and many of the blog owners liked to call themselves journalists or diarists. In the early days of blogging around the mid-90s, people enjoyed the experience of belonging to the online community that went beyond all sorts of boundaries. This was the time when the very first combination of text, pictures and videos were included in a blog, as the most accurate way of reflecting one’s life. Sometimes, bloggers transmitted live images with the help of various portable devices, creating the so-called semi-automated blogging.

At the beginning, blogs were not individual pages, as they mainly functioned as components of larger websites; nevertheless, with the rapid development of technologies, it came into everyone’s power to create and support a personal independent web log. The only condition to enjoy a successful blogging experience is to stick to high quality content that makes any visitor return to the site and even take action on it. Creativity and innovation are probably the best ways to define the blogging experience since we can identify a true craze to be seen online.

Presently, you can find guides to creating successful blogs, since many small business owners perceive the phenomenon as a great chance to promote products and services online. Blogs are presently part of the Internet marketing strategies that anyone should be using, as included within online advertising campaigns; the great advantage of blogging is that it mainly targets potential customers, reducing the number of uninterested users. We could say that thanks to advertising and Internet marketing, blogging has actually become a very promising type of business.

Until next time,

To your blogging success,

There is so many new people coming into this market, and they are looking for easy, and useful information for them to get started with.

So that brings me to the Newbie Checklist w/PLR, its great package that offers everything you need to start building a list of buyers, and target the newbies. :)

I am going to let the video explain the deal…

How to Write Killer Email Promos That Get Results!

Posted by ishareusa on December 21, 2008

Have you ever been faced with the task of having
to write an email promotion to your list, and
then realized that you didn’t know what to say or
how to say it?

Michael Rasmussen’s new video course “Email
Promos Exposed” promises to solve that problem
for you by walking you through the actual process
of creating killer email promos step-by-step.

*************************************************
If you’re in a hurry, just go ahead visit this
URL to get instant free access to these videos:

http://www.emailpromosexposed.com/
*************************************************

I decided to see if Micheal’s videos live up to
their promise by trying them out myself. Here’s
what I found:

*************************************************
Overall Quality
*************************************************

The first thing I noticed when I opened up the
first video was the stunning production quality.
He used Camtasia Studio for the production, which
is now the industry standard for creating
high-quality screen capture video products. The
audio is near studio quality, and the graphics
are very professional. These videos were made by
someone who KNOWS what he’s doing. Well done!

I also liked how Michael divided the videos up by
section, and then again by sub-section. For
example, one video is all about the subject line,
and then there are different parts of that video
that each cover a certain area of crafting a
killer subject line.

Now let’s move onto…

*************************************************
THE ACTUAL VIDEOS
*************************************************

Here’s a brief summary of each video. Obviously
it’s impossible to list every single thing here,
but I want you to get a feel for what each one
covered, and how well it covered it.

*************************************************
If you’re in a hurry, just go ahead visit this
URL to get instant free access to these videos:

http://www.emailpromosexposed.com/
*************************************************

VIDEO 1 – INTRODUCTION

This video served as an introduction to the whole
course. You get to see a picture of Michael in
his every day life, and he establishes his
credibility right up front by talking about some
of his massive successes online. He even provides
proof of credibility by displaying two checks in
the amount of $50,000 and $25,000 which prove
that, when it comes to the subject of making
money with email promos, he knows his stuff.

This is a good lesson for anyone to get. Whenever
you’re teaching people how to do something, it’s
good to establish your credibility up front, so
that there’s no doubt about whether or not you’re
qualified to talk about the subject. Most product
developers either skip or minimize this step.

VIDEO 2 – BEFORE YOU WRITE THE PROMO

This video talks about some things that no other
marketer has bothered to mention. You’ll learn
things like:

* The mindset you need in order to write a killer
promo

* The different tools you need before you get
started

* How to keep your emails laser-focused

* How to create an outline that practically
writes the email for you.

This was a fantastic video, and did a good job of
kicking things off.

VIDEO 3 – THE SUBJECT LINE

I liked this video, because it talked about one
of MY biggest weaknesses when it comes to writing
email promos… the subject line. The subject
line is a confusing topic, because nobody’s 100%
sure what the best tactics are.

Michael breaks it down, and reveals:

* The biggest secret for writing a subject line
that makes people insanely curious.

* Techniques for personalizing the subject line.

* Mistakes to avoid when using personalization.

I was surprised to find that I was making some of
the mistakes that Michael mentioned in this
video, but now I know better.

VIDEO 4 – THE OPENING

This is where a lot of people slack off when
writing their emails. Michael talks about how
important it is to create an opening that is
conversational, and then reveals techniques and
examples on how to do that.

He also reveals:

* How to get people to keep reading your email
once they’ve opened it.

* How to make your opening interesting.

* Mistakes to avoid when creating your first few
paragraphs.

VIDEO 5 – THE BODY COPY

This is one of the “meatiest” portions of the
course, because it reveals techniques that are
not widely discussed on the forums, blogs, and in
most eBooks. He talks about the importance of
keeping your body copy tight and relevant, and
then reveals how you can do that. You’ll also
learn:

* How to write powerful bullets that make people
curious and want to find out more.

* Simple formatting tricks for making your body
copy easy to read.

* The secret of “bucket brigade copy” and how to
use it in your email promos to force people to
keep reading.

VIDEO 6 – THE CALL TO ACTION

This is where a lot of people wimp out in their
email promos. They start out strong, but when it
comes time to ask the reader to click the link
and take action, they don’t know what to say.
Michael talks about some of his favorite
techniques for making that happen, and also
reveals:

* The “magic question” to ask yourself that will
make your close much more powerful.

* The secret of the “unanswered question” and why
handling this is a surefire way to get people to
act right away.

* The structure of a powerful close.

* Mistakes people make when creating their close.

VIDEO 7 – CREATING AN EFFECTIVE P.S.

Some people say that the P.S. is one of the most
important parts of the email, because it is often
the one thing that gets people to click the link
at the end. In this video, Michael talks about:

* Why you should including a P.S. at the end of
your email.

* The 4 different kinds of P.S.’s you can use
(this section was a real eye-opener for me).

VIDEO 8 – COMMON MISTAKES PEOPLE MAKE

I loved this video, because it showed me some
mistakes that I was making that I wasn’t even
aware of. Unless you’re a seasoned pro, you’re
probably guilty of some of the things that
Michael talks about in this video as well, and
that’s why it’s so valuable. I’ve shaved years
off my learning curve, because now I can avoid
some of the costly mistakes that I was bound to
make in the learning process.

VIDEO 9 – HOW TO CREATE FOLLOW-UP EMAIL PROMOTIONS

This video alone is going to make me a lot of
money. Why? Because I used to only send out one
email promo for each affiliate promotion I was
doing. Michael showed me in this video how
important it is to send a follow-up promotion,
and he showed me exactly how to do it. He covered
things like:

* The psychology of follow-up email promo’s.

* The 2 main types of follow-up promos that make
the most money.

* How to overcome readers’ objections in your
follow up emails.

* The 2 most common mistakes people make when
writing follow-ups and how to avoid them.

VIDEO 10 – HOW TO WRITE BACK END EMAIL PROMOTIONS

Every marketing guru out there says that the REAL
money is on the back end. I’d have to agree with
them, but the problem is… most people have no
idea how to set up a back end system that makes
money. This video will teach you how to set up an
automated back end that’s loaded with killer
promos that make you lots of cash on autopilot.
He reveals things like:

* The big difference between regular and back end
email promos.

* How to prepare a back end promotion sequence.

* Common mistakes people make when creating back
end email promos.

VIDEO 11 – CREATING AFFILIATE EMAIL PROMOTIONS

This could be the most important video of the
entire package for a lot of people, because most
people email their list to promote other people’s
products as an affiliate. Let’s face it, if you
only have 3 products, can you really afford to
only email your list 3 times a year? They’ll get
bored hearing about the same old products over
and over again. This video sheds some light on
how to create killer affiliate promos. Michael
reveals things like:

* The two main types of affiliate promos.

* What makes affiliate promos different than
regular promos (and why ignoring this huge secret
could cost you big money).

* Michael’s favorite tactics for creating
affiliate promos that no one else is doing.

* 3 different ways to add scarcity to your
affiliate promos (this is the most important
section of the video, so make sure you watch it
over and over again).

*************************************************
CONCLUSION
*************************************************

As you can see, Email Promos Exposed really packs
a lot of punch! Most of the courses out there
offer only watered down, weak content. Not this
one! These videos are going on my “A-list” for a
long time.

I’ve already watched them twice, and plan on
reviewing them every couple months to make sure
that I have the principals, techniques and
tactics burned into my mind.

If email marketing is an important part of your
business (and in my opinion, it’s the most
important part of ANY online business), then you
owe it to yourself to check out Michael’s
exciting new videos, Email Promos Exposed.

Here’s the URL where you can get instant free access
to the videos right now.

How to Explode Your Affiliate Income!

Posted by ishareusa on December 5, 2008

Having an opt-in list is, of-course, one of the most crucial things you must have to succeed in making money online.

The best way to build that list is by sending people to your squeeze pages. Even if you are an affiliate marketer, it is important to have a squeeze page for your opt-in form before you send them to the merchant’s website. Not utilizing this important step is the most classic mistake people tend to make in affiliate marketing.

I have done some research and found that you will have a much larger opt-in rate when you add media to your squeeze pages, more importantly, adding video.

When videos started to grow popular on the Internet in the past couple of years, the Internet Marketing landscape started to change.

Affiliate Marketing was not exempted, either.

So what smart marketers often do is that they would have their own Squeeze Page for the visitors to opt into their list, before sending them to the website they are an affiliate for.

This is so the affiliate marketer can build his own opt-in list and do his follow-ups later.

A few but exceptionally smarter marketers, on the other hand, take this to the next level.

=====> THEY IMPLEMENT VIDEO MARKETING, TOO.

You probably notice most top Internet Marketing experts are now using videos on their Squeeze Pages. And
smarter affiliates are also doing the same for their own, for one obvious reason:

=====> VIDEOS CAN SKYROCKET YOUR TRAFFIC AND SALES
CONVERSIONS!

Unfortunately, the problem with video marketing is that to begin with, you have to know how to make your own
videos.

And even if you could do your own videos, what if you learn that the affiliate program doesn’t convert well
for you after all?

Affiliate Power Videos remove all these barriers.

=> http://www.affiliatepowervideos.com

At Affiliate Power Videos, you get 10 unique, high converting Video Squeeze Pages, and 5 new ones every month.

So all you have to do is:

Step 1: join any or all of the listed affiliate
programs (free)

Step 2: Upload the video and squeeze pages to your web
host

Step 3: Start driving in traffic, build your opt-in
list and rake in affiliate sales!

You might be thinking that this is going to be a costly monthly membership – maybe $97, $197 or even $297 a
month.

You’re going to be in for a pleasant surprise — this one’s on the house (read: zero cost)!

Here it is again:

=> http://www.affiliatepowervideos.com
Sign up for your free Silver membership access now and don’t delay – because I know you could very well have your own string of affiliate video businesses up and running by tonight, with or without any technical experience on your part!

Warm Regards,
Brooke Meeks

Top 7 Rated Social Media Networking Sites

Posted by ishareusa on November 9, 2008

If you are new to internet marketing, trying to grow an online business to make money, then you may not know how important it is to become a part of the social networking communities. Using the social networking sites will help you gain awesome amounts of traffic to your website or blog. You can also use it as a chance to build an email list by asking them to sign-up for your newsletter or whatever it is that you have to offer them.

There are so many social media sites to choose from that you might not know which sites are the best to become a part of. Here are the top 7 social media sites that I think you should join no matter what your niche or goal is:

Twitter – This is at the top of my list. Twitter is a site where you can write short messages, in real-time, for your followers to see. You can let your followers know when you’ve updated your blog, when you have added a new item/service to your website, etc. You get the idea. You can also find people for you to follow as well that have useful info, tools, etc., to help you with your needs.

Squidoo – Here you make a web page, which they call a lens, that is specific to the niche that you choose. There is no limit on how many lenses you can make. You can even make money from your lens from ads and affiliate links. Squidoo is one of the 300 most popular websites in the US. This is one of the best sources of traffic to your site.

Facebook – Here you can connect with millions of people that use this site daily. You have the ability to create a page for your business and create an ad to send out to thousands of facebook members with your same interests.

MySpace – This site is one of the most popular. You can build a huge network of contacts. Some of the members of myspace have 100’s to 1,000’s of friends in their extended network and you have the ability to socialize with all of them. This makes for a huge amount of prospects for list building.

YouTube – Using this site is great because you can make and upload videos for this huge community to see. YouTube reports that it has 71 million unique users each month and has the 6th largest audience on the Internet. You have the ability to connect with a targeted audience on a very large scale.

StumbleUpon – I like this site because you can reccomend your sites/blogs for other community members to view that have your same interests. This brings great traffic to your site. You will also have reccomended sites on your home page to view that you may not find using the search engines. You can stumble (view) websites, videos, even other stumblers profiles where you can send them messages and invite them to see your favorite sites.

Digg – There are a lot of interesting things that you can find through this site. Once you choose something to digg, it then becomes a part of a list where other diggers can view and rate if they digg it or not. Then if it gets enough diggs, it will be on the popular list. You can invite your contacts to your friends list and let them view all of the great content that you have dugg. Then those contacts will refer their contacts to be added to your list, and wha-la, your making new contacts for your offers.

I hope that you find that these networking sites are as great for you as they have been for me. I actually was not having much success making money online until I started becoming a part of those communities and gaining contacts. I am part of other social networking sites as well, though I have had the best results with these 7. If you have the time to apply yourself to these social sites, then you will have a better chance of success.

Good Luck to you all!!

Top Rated Ways To Get FREE TRAFFIC To Your Website or Blog!!

Posted by ishareusa on October 19, 2008

I have done a lot of searching to find the best ways to get free traffic to my sites and blog. There are many ways, but I am going to show you the top rated ones that have been successful for me, so I know they can work for you.

Here Goes:

**Social Networking Sites** These are awesome ways to get traffic and back links to your site or blog. Search engines love these sites and they have kick butt rankings.

**Forum signatures** Visiting forums that are related to your content and posting on them is a good way for you to get your link exposed. Always include your site or blog links in your signature after your post.

**Blog Commenting** Post a comment on blogs that have used a plug-in to remove the ‘no follow’ tag.

**Squidoo Lenses** If you have not yet made a lens on squidoo, then you’re running behind in the game. Squidoo lenses are easy, fast, and easily picked up from search engines. You can add links to similar content from sites that are ranked high, which in turn gives you free traffic from back linking.

**Ad Directories** This is a great way to build traffic and back links that stick. You can benefit from this long term.

**Create Awesome Content** If you have real good articles, tips, etc. that will bring your readers back and/or refer to their own readers or friends, then you can have back links being created without you having to ask. They will place your link on their sites/blogs all on their own.

**Traffic Exchange and Safe List Sites** I have had some success using this technique. Some may tell you that it did not work for them, but I had a good technique that helped improve my experience. If you are interested in learning how I did it so you too can learn an awesome way to get tons of traffic to your site, then sign up for my newsletter and I will send you a links of each site that I use with exact instructions on how to use each site. Every site that I send you to is completely FREE, there are upgrades that you can pay for later after you’ve made money, but you will have huge success using the free memberships . It will work for you as long as you use my instructions.

*Not To Do Tip* Never add a link onto your site that has to do with content that is not relavent to yours. Example: You have a site/blog about internet marketing and you add a link for another site/blog that is about golf tips, then this will not improve any rankings, nor will you get traffic benefits.

BACK LINKS = FREE TRAFFIC
** Add your site/blog link to these search engines and directories:
www.google.com/addurl/
www.zimbio.com

* When you submit your blog to zimbio, you have your choice of wikizines to submit to,
you can make your own wikizine and submit as many articles that you desire.

I hope that these tips will help bring you some much needed traffic. It won’t happen overnight, just be patient, check your stats daily, and you WILL see an increase in your traffic.

If you have any questions or comments, then please contact me. My email is bmeeks@ishareusa.com. I will be posting my article on the best rated social networking sites in the very near future, so don’t forget to bookmark me and visit often. I have a lot of useful info that I will be posting.

Thanks and To your success,

Promoting your site/blog through Social Networking

Posted by ishareusa on August 18, 2008

If you are anything like every other business owner, your goal is to make money and a lot of it. In order to begin the process of making money you have to have a product or service to offer people. Once you have the specific product or service to sell, you need to find your target market (audience) and begin to spread the word. A customer cannot buy a product or a service if they don’t know about it, correct?

You can see my blog at http://ishareusa.wordpress.com

This is where the social networking will be beneficial. Although social networking websites are traditionally focused on making online friends or relationships, there are networking sites that are designed for business owners to network as well. Becoming a part of these networks will allow you to share your business information with other business owners, other people looking to get into some kind of online business, and will also allow you to develop close relationships with those that share an interest that is similar to yours. This is great for learning new ways to promote/build your own business, capture some great leads, customers, and possibly even find someone who would like to become a partner or invest in your company. There are large amounts of people, whether they are looking to buy online or find great opportunities to help them generate a good cash flow, that are on these sites every day.
All you have to do is become a part of these great networks and find the people that will like what you have to offer.

Why social networking sites are so popular?

Networking has always been a huge part of growing a business and having specific networking sites on the web has become increasingly popular within the last year or so. It’s great to be able to build your home based business and do most of your networking at home as well, especially when the number of internet users is expected to soar over 1.5 billion over the next few years.

Using the social bookmarking sites – a user can search a topic and find results based on how many other members have tagged (or voted for) a particular website. This certainly helps me, as I have searched for things using other search engines and always found a lot of things that I wasn’t even searching for. Social networking sites are easy to use and understand, even for people the newbie’s that do not have much internet experience.
As more and more people become involved with the social networking sites (Web 2.0 systems), the
number of people you can market to through these systems will continue to grow. Finding audiences to target any niche to will be a piece of cake.
Using the Social Networking Sites, you will be able to review the profile of any member that you plan to market to. This way you will be able to find out before you contact them if they are a good prospect for your product or service. You can then invite them to join your friends list, they will look at your profile and then they can follow your links back to your website or blog.

One of the many reasons social networking sites are so popular is because so many of them are free to use. MySpace is a perfect example. Whenever you become a member of these sites, you will need to create a profile page which is another great place to add links back to your website or blog. There are some Social Networking Sites that you will have to pay a fee to become a member or you will be able to join free and pay a fee to upgrade so you can use some of the other benefits that they offer. This could work to your advantage, as it will weed out the users that become members using a fake account to flame or spam other members.

You should definitely take advantage of these sites and begin increasing your online income potential. It doesn’t matter what it is that you are offering, you will find your target audience using these sites. You can begin to build your list for your email marketing. I know you’ve heard the phrase “The money is in the list”.

To start you should join some of the sites – the most popular, free sites is my suggestion – then on your profile page, let the other members know who you are and what you do – be honest. Start posting on the message boards, inviting friends, joining groups, and finding others who will be interested in your product or service that you are offering. Don’t come on too strong at first, everything will fall into place.

*Tip: You should build anchored links with keywords from high ranked social site pages that go back to your websites or blogs. This is totally FREE!

Here are some popular Social Networking Sites for you to join:

MySpace – This is probably the most popular out of all the social networking sites. You can join MySpace completely free. You can invite other members to your MySpace network after you’ve made your profile page. MySpace has over 100 million members and growing.

YouTube – This is a great place where you can add a short video of what you have to offer. You can add a link to your website or blog at the bottom of the video for people to click on. You can also add links of the most popular videos at the bottom of your page.

Squidoo – Another great Social Networking Site for you that is free and is growing large. This site is one of the best because it is well optimized because of the keywords, which help the lens come up high in the search results. The users of this site are more likely to be searching to make a purchase rather than to make a friend.

Classmates – is an online social networking website that is free to become a member, though you do have to pay a fee to upgrade if you want to search for classmates, contacting your classmates, and other services. This site has gained popularity at a rapid rate. This will still be beneficial for promoting your site/blog even if you don’t become a paying member.

Orkut – this is a great social networking site with a lot of members, though it does have restricted access. This site was launched by Google about 4 years ago. If you don’t know anyone that is a member of the site already, you can ask another member to send you an invite.

*Tip: Using MySpace; as you are building your profile page, make it your own – stand out from the rest, and add your autoresponder code on the front page. You can offer a free gift for people to join your list.

Other Great Networking Resources:

Blogging – This is another great way to start your online networking. You need to go and make a blog with your own domain name, then add your blog to blog directories. If you don’t already have a blog here are some that I suggest:

WordPress, Blogger

These are at the top of my list!

The blogging directories that I suggest:

Technorati and MyBlogLog

Make sure to re-visit my blog often as I always have useful tips/trix for you to use to help with your online success. Anything that I offer to you has been tested and proven by me. I am not an internet guru or anything close to it, but I have been working hard, day-in and day-out to find the techniques to help me be successful with my online business.

Until Next Time,

E-Mail Marketing Tips

Posted by ishareusa on August 21, 2008

Traffic, Traffic, Traffic, this is what everybody that is trying to make money on the internet wants and needs. More traffic, more opt-ins, more sales, which means MORE CASH in your bank account, write? Well, I have struggled with the ‘getting more traffic’ issue for a while and I finally found some avenues that worked. Most of the ways that I get my traffic are even free and the rest of the ways are very low cost. I try very hard to keep my spending down to a bare minimum or none at all so that I can have huge ROI’s.

E-mail ads and squeeze pages are the best ways to build an opt-in list and get lots of traffic to your website or blog. Today we are going to talk about email campaigns.

These tips that I share with you in this article are the ones that I use personally and they have worked great for me.

First of all, the most important thing that you must remember when writing your e-mail ad is “The Subject Line”. The subject of your e-mail is #1. This is what your target audience is going to click on to read your ad. Thinking of an e-mail that you would receive, what would be a great compelling subject line that would get you to click on it? Remember, there are tons of great email marketers out there to compete with, so we have to make sure that yours stands out from the rest. I have found that making a subject line with the beginning of a question or statement are great ways to get clicks. Examples:

“How much money have you…?”

“Are you tired of not making…?”

“I finally started making money when…”

“I lost 31 pounds when…”

You see what I mean. People that see those kinds of subject lines in their inbox get curious and want to know what the rest of the sentence has to say. Curiosity is something that we humans are programmed with. I haven’t tried this, but a lot of the gurus say that if you make an e-mail subject line that is offensive you will increase your click rate like crazy. I will admit, I have clicked on the e-mails that I see that have headlines like, “You’re a lazy, no-good…” or “Stop laying there like the bum that you are”.

No matter what your subject line is, make sure that your message body relates. If your subject line is, “Are you tired of not making…?”, then your body should start by saying something like this example, “If you are tired of not making any money online like I was then let me show you how I conquered my battle.” Start telling your reader about your real-life struggling that you went through. People like to know that they can relate to the others that have been in a similar position as theirs that are now successful.

Another great tip regarding your e-mails is not to send out the same message more than 2-3 times. You can still offer the same product or service, you just need to change up the email message, including subject line, after you’ve sent out the same one 2-3 times. Products and services usually have more than one market to target. For example, diet/energy pills; they are for the most part one in the same. You can write email messages targeting the market that wants to find the next best way to lose weight, and then you can change up the messages to target the market that is always searching for that energy they need to get through the day.

Make sure you have personally used the product or service that you are offering to your readers. You want to make sure that your offer is true, if not, then your credibility will be lost and that will not be good for you. Offering more than one product at a time is always the best way to go. You just need to stay organized, keep track of each product/service that you are promoting and each email campaign that you have.

Here some products and services that have the best responses:

Home businesses, Website products/software, Internet marketing, Diet/Weight control programs and products, Real Estate, Golfing tips and products, Match maker services (dating)

The list goes on and on. If you don’t have your own product or service you can become an affiliate, if you’re not already, and earn commissions that way. You can visit www.clickbank.com and signup for free to promote their products. You can search through their product lines and find the most popular selling products that produce the best commissions, and they even give you ready-made ads, banners, articles, and ways to promote the products. When you signup they will have you make your own clickbank affiliate ID, which will be used in all of your hoplinks that they make for you. A hoplink is your own personalized URL link that people will click on to see the sales/landing page of the product that you’re promoting and you add this into your emails along with your message.

Now that you will have the very best, most awesome, email messages for readers to see with great products to promote, you will need a list to send your messages to, write?, write.

Well then, let me tell you, I have found some fantastic list building services that can help you with that. There are a lot more out there than the ones that I use, but some of them cost too much for me to get into or the service is not rated as good as I would like. You should check these out:

Head on over and join these list building membership programs and sit back to let the list come to you. You get to send your ads out to thousands of people and most of them are free. You can earn credits through some of the services when you click on other members emails, this helps so you can send out more messages using the credits that you have earned rather than paying for them, which is another option too, if you have the cash for it. Good Luck!

I would like to hear any comments that you might have on my articles. Also, if there are any other subjects that you would like to hear some tips on, just let me know. I have learned a lot and am in the process of gathering together, grouping the subjects, and putting together, tips for everybody to learn from this blog of mine. So, don’t be a stranger!

Talk to you soon,

How To Get 1 Million Visitors Without Paying A Dime In Advertising!

Posted by ishareusa on August 31, 2008

Are you frustrated by the lack of traffic coming to your site?

Let’s talk candidly!

The reality is, even if it’s true that at this precise moment
there are literally hundreds of millions of surfers on the Internet,
it’s just not true that it’s easy to get them to visit YOUR website or blog!

Are you wondering why some sites are getting millions of visitors
while yours is not getting any or very few?

Well, the main reason for this is that those sites are spending a fortune
in advertising (Thousands and thousands of dollars per month – even per day!).

If you are a person with NO advertising budget, you really need to
read this article! If not, you will never get enough visitors on
your web site and it will die in a couple of months … like so many
others have!

Contrary to what every fast-buck artist claims about the so-called
“it’s-easy-to-make-money-on-the-Internet” dream, 95% of all the millions
of existing web sites are not making a dime on the Internet! Worse yet:
A lot of them are losing their shirts by spending thousands of dollars
in advertising, turning their profits to nothing. It is a proven fact
that the majority will never do anything else other than waste money,
effort and time with their web site.

Why is that?

Conventional ways of advertising are too expensive for regular people.

So, if you don’t already have the thousands of dollars required to
properly advertise your web site, what can you do to get enough
visitors to succeed online?

I have great news!

I’ve been searching for free ways to promote my online
business and found programs that did not work or did very little.

AND I’ve just discovered the most well-guarded secrets of the wealthy
webmasters on how to advertise your web site with no money!

They are not telling us this stuff!

You just cannot imagine what you are about to discover! It’s shocking!
It’s so genuinely easy to get visitors rushing to your site once you know this!

To your success,

“Our children ARE our future”

http://www.youtube.com/ishareusa

We are trying to help bring people together in this time of need. There are so many people at or below the poverty level, and it continues to get worse. We are building a safe online community for people that can help will be able to do so, no matter where they live. If somebody in Virginia needs help to pay their rent because they have recently become disabled with no income, and another member in Washington is able to help, then that will be able to be done through our new community site that will be launched very soon.

We are raising funds to get this community up and running, to help members that are in need, and for items or services that are needed.

A small donation will help feed a family, put clothes on a childs body, as well as help with utilities, housing, medical, rx, etc.

Financial distress is a common cause of depression, stress induced heart attacks/strokes, suicide, and other problems. Lets all join together to help one another.

Please send this video link to any contacts that you can!! Spread the word.

“One Act of Random Kindness at a Time” is How We Change the World!!
