SubscribeDo you write outlines for your blog posts
Thank you for returning to our Internet Marketing Blog. To be the first to hear about updates please subscribe.Do you write outlines for your blog posts or do you just write them of the top of your head. There are some people who spend ages thinking about what they have to say and how they should say it but I am from the camp who doesn’t bother with outlines, I just get the thought in my head and start writing.
Why stress can ruin your online business success
As soon as someone actually realises that they can make money online, and I mean realise for themselves and not just what other people have told them, you will often find that they really go for it and start to make more and more money until they decide that this is the way to go and they end up leaving their day job.
Should you use a local domain name
I am often asked if I would recommend using a local domain name, and to be honest, it really depends on what your website is being used for.
If your market is the rest of the world then you really can’t beat a .com. This is the most well know suffix and it is automatically recognised the whole world over. If the .com of your choice is unavailable I would go down the route of a .net or a .org In my experience they are not as good but people who are into this type of thing tell me that they are just a effective.
Learn how to build a profitable membership site
If you really want to make a good, solid passive income you cannot really get much better than your own membership site. Making a passive income from something that you only have to do once is the true internet marketing dream and the stuff that makes the 4 hour working week available to anyone who is prepared to put the effort in.
A membership site has to offer something that will make the members want to keep being a member of and to continue paying the membership subscription. These subscriptions are usually paid monthly but in some cases you will find the subscription is paid quarterly of annually.
The power of the trust factor
As soon as you realize how important the trust factor is in any type of business, not just an online business, you will be well on your way to making a success of what ever venture you choose to get involved with.
If you have been involved in internet marketing for any length of time you will be well aware that there are so many shady characters offering their wares that if your business can establish the trust factor you will instantly be head and shoulders above many of your competitors. I suppose it would be harsh to label many businesses in this way but it is the actions of the worst that have tarred so many others.
Why did you start your internet business
The question, why did you start your internet business? always intrigues me because I am absolutely fascinated by the replies that are given. You hear the obvious ones like wanting to earn more money but also replies like people wanting to give up their job and earn a passive income whilst they are traveling around the world.
I always advise people to ask themselves this question at different times through their internet marketing career so that they can keep on track with regard to the hopes and dreams of their internet business.
Link exchanges – not for me thanks
I don’t know what it is about link exchanges but I would much rather give it a miss and concentrate on other methods in which to promote my websites and blogs. I sincerely believe, as with anything in life, that you get out of it what you put in and to me, link exchanges don’t really offer anyone any benefits apart from the people that are exchanging links, and I believe that at some point they will not be as anywhere near as effective as they are now, and when that point comes, all of the work that goes into these link exchanges will be a waste of time.
5 Steps to Better Copywriting and Higher Profits
One of the most profitable investments on the Internet is in content. Content that is properly optimized for search engines can help drive organic traffic to your web site or blog and increase profits. However, making a profit with content is not as simple as throwing some words together and hoping that they will attract visitors. You have to become a better copywriter and learn the exact process of creating effective content for the Internet.
Have you got a backup plan
Things might well be going along swimmingly at the moment but do you have a back up plan should things go wrong. If you don’t have a back up plan you should really get yourself one, as soon as possible.
In my opinion, the sign of a successful internet marketer, or any other successful business person for that matter is not necessarily what they have achieved, but how they react when something goes wrong. I love reading autobiographies of successful business people and without exception, they have all faced times in their career when it looked like they were going to lose everything. Times when it seemed that nothing was going their way, but through courage, determination and a back up plan they have been able to pull through and grow even stronger.
How much passion goes into your business?
Well, how much passion does go into your business? I hope it’s a lot because if you show me a successful business, I will show you a passionate person behind it. I strongly believe that passion is so important in any business and I believe that it really shines through in everything that you do.
Some people think that you don’t need passion in an internet business, after all, why should you bother? The reason you should bother is because if you are passionate about your business the chances of you experiencing success are increased by a massive amount.
What a joint venture is really like
A joint venture really can make you a great deal of money within a short period of time but what is a joint venture really like? If you are not familiar with a joint venture is is where you approach someone with an established presence in the niche that you wish to promote to, and ask them if they will promote your product or service to their list.
When you consider that some people have lists of many thousands of subscribers you can imagine how profitable a successful joint venture can be and also the fact that many of the people in these lists have built up a trusting relationship with the list owner, only goes to add more value to the promotion.
7 principles when launching your own business
I believe that there are seven principles that should be adhered to when starting your own business and they are as follows.
1.Research your market. Make sure that there is a strong demand for the product or the service that you are planning on providing. Don’t just think that it is a good idea. Absolutely know that it is a good idea and only some thorough research can provide you with those facts.
2.Look at your competitors and make sure that the competition is not to strong, There are many areas that are easy to break into without you having to fight any of the big boys for a share of the market.
what’s wrong with making money online
There is nothing at all wrong with making money online and for people that think there is, the sooner they start thinking differently the better. If someone has that attitude they will find that it will actually stop them from having any success with making money in general.
Any negative comments that are directed at making money online are usually down to a little bit of jealousy because these people have seen instances of successful internet marketers making large amounts of money with little perceived effort, and they either think that there must be something dodgy about it or if they realise that is is a solid business opportunity but they think that it must be very difficult to master, and instead of trying to learn they just come out with negative comments.
Dealing with bad customers
If your online business involves products or clients, there is strong probability that you will have to deal with bad customers at one point or another. There is a big difference between bad customers and constructive feedback, and you should soon be able to differentiate between the two after you have been running your online business for a little while.
Don’t run before you can walk with your online business
It is a very easy concept to run your own successful online business once you have dotted the I’s and crossed the T’s. The first thing you must do is learn how to run your own business and then after that you can consider teaching others how to do the same. Alternatively this is the time when you also help others with their own online business through your own services.
Services are extremely popular and all internet marketers need help with one task or another. I know from experience the need for help with my own online business and as I type out this Blog post I have 32 outsourcers just with ONE outsource company.

How much of your online business do you outsource
I have been gradually building up my online team of outsourcers gradually this year after it became my new year plan. Some of them are very good at their jobs and others I have got rid 0f because they were just not upto scratch.
Just like in the normal offline workplace we can all end up with bad employees and this is one of the things that puts people off outsourcing. I have had about 5 people now that I have removed from my list of outsourcers but the active ones that I have right now are excellent.
Top 10 Twitter Marketing Tips
Twitter really is an internet marketers dream with so many ways to market a product and ultimately make money. I just wish Twitter had been around years ago when I was paying my high fees to eBay for allowing me to list items on their site.

Here are my top 10 twitter marketing tips and by taking these on board you will already be ahead of most of the crowd:
The 20 hour working week – make it work for you
Many of us have heard of the 20 hour working week but how many of us actually achieve it, when many of us don’t actually believe it exsists. When it is our own business you don’t mind working the extra hours because you are creating an excellent future for yourself.
I have been one of those people that when I was setting up my business I would work many hours just to get the business going and then cool off for a while and take a break.
The Single Most Important Factor Behind Copywriting
Today is a guest post by professional direct response copywriter David Tendrich.
The first thing I’d like to talk about with you today is a brick wall. Why a brick wall? Because when you think about it, it’s the perfect metaphor for internet marketing. Lots of bricks persistently stacked on top of each other until they eventually create a giant building. Remind you of anything? Isn’t everything in internet marketing a series of persistently done tasks that eventually bring great outcomes?
Well, there’s just one thing missing from our metaphor here…The glue.

The Avatar Movie: What can it do for your business
I was one of the first to go and see the Avatar movie at my local cinema in Portugal and had a lovely time watching it with my eight year old son and my husband. It was just before Christmas last year and everyone was getting into the spirit of the festive season and we had a lovely time.
When new technology comes out at the cinema it is lovely to be able to say that you were there and you watched it at the cinema ten years down the line.
Business And Time Management For Work At Home Parents
Today is a guest blog post especially written by Dave Lianelli.
Being an entrepreneur with a 3-month old baby, I know business can be tiring while working from home. There’s always something else to do. And as the ’stay-at-home’ dad or mom you also have to do the housekeeping.
That’s two full-time jobs. Those will get you very tired at the end of the day. I know from my own experience that being awake at night and having a full schedule during the day is both physically and mentally bad for your health. And you can’t simply take ‘a day off’.
