Odesk.com Review – Why I Have Quit Odesk After Nearly A Year

By Samantha On September 1, 2010No Comments

Thank you for returning to our Internet Marketing Blog. To be the first to hear about updates please subscribe.

I first started using Odesk.com about a year ago for my outsourcing needs as it has a huge following so is always there to provide you with the biggest channel for finding worthwhile outsourcers. At first everything went fine and for every job that I have advertised on Odesk I have received over 600 applicants so I always given fantastic ch0ice. This also meant that I could get outsourcers at a quarter of the price that you would pay thr0ugh more American style sites such as Elance.com.

5 Steps to Better Copywriting and Higher Profits

By Samantha On July 14, 2010 No Comments

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

By Samantha On July 12, 2010 No Comments

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.


Is ClickBank the holy grail of your online business

By Samantha On July 9, 2010 No Comments

Clickbank is rightly recognised as something that every internet marketer should at least take the time to investigate and in many cases go on to incorporate it into their online business. The opportunities to make money from Clickbank really are endless and if used correctly it can be used to make people a great deal of money and Clickbank is considered by many to be the holy grail for many successful online businesses


Samantha Milner’s Fast Track Tutorials – Upsell Profits

By Samantha On July 8, 2010 No Comments

Upsell marketing is one of the best ways for generating even more sales from your current site visitors. Even though I created a fast track tutorial based on upsell marketing it is such an important subject I have come back with an updated version.

This latest fast track tutorial shows you how easy it is to just add a couple of extra pages to your website and watch your sales explode. I used this new software that I came across to do the job for me and was amazed by the results. It was very easy to use and I tested it first on my PLR products site and received 10 new sales they day I started it.


How much passion goes into your business?

By Samantha On July 7, 2010 No Comments

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.


Six ways to make more money as an affiliate

By Samantha On July 5, 2010 1 Comment

You are probably well aware of how lucrative affiliate marketing can be but what often happens is that both the newcomers and veterans of the internet marketing industry become completely bogged down and overwhelmed by the numerous affiliate marketing opportunities that are open to them.

I have listed six ways in which you can make more money as an affiliate and each one has been tried, tested and proven to work. They are not all actual methods of making money as an affiliate but each one is highly relevant.

An Honest Review – Rapid Mass Traffic

By Samantha On July 1, 2010 Comments Off

If you are not familiar with Mo Latif he is a successful internet marketer who is causing something of a stir within the industry with his latest project,  Rapid Mass Traffic.

Rapid Mass Traffic basically does what it says on the tin in that it generates traffic very quickly to whatever website or offer you wish to promote.

So, does it really work and is it worth the money. When you read the sales page it is the usual story of how someone with no experience of internet marketing has gone from making a few dollars per hour as a farm worker but now that he is using  rapid mass traffic he is now making thousands of dollars every month with little effort.


What a joint venture is really like

By Samantha On June 30, 2010 Comments Off

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.


Does the price impact which affiliate products you promote

By Samantha On June 28, 2010 5 Comments

When you are searching for affiliate products to promote, are you influenced by the price of the product and the affiliate commission that you will receive, or is this not a major factor in your decision. I would like to suggest that this should not be the major factor in the product or service that you wish to promote. For me it is far more important that the product is of top quality and of use to my customers.


Do you plan your blog?

By Samantha On June 25, 2010 Comments Off

Do you plan your blog?  If you don’t then you should do. Unless your blog is a topical news type of blog where you really don’t know what is going to happen from one day to the next, then you should really know what you will be doing with your blog, weeks, if not months ahead.


7 principles when launching your own business

By Samantha On June 23, 2010 1 Comment

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.


Offering something different and creating your own niche

By Samantha On June 21, 2010 2 Comments

It is often a good idea to take a step back from your internet business and to have a good think about the ways that you could go about things a little differently. Try and think out of the box about ways in which you could offer something different and even create your own niche.

You may be thinking that all of that sounds like a lot of hard work and that it may be totally beyond you, but I would advise you to think again. You definitely have it in you to offer something different and it is usually just a case of a little research and rolling up your sleeves and simply getting on with it.


what’s wrong with making money online

By Samantha On June 18, 2010 2 Comments

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.


Should you quit your blog

By Samantha On June 16, 2010 1 Comment

Without even knowing you I can definitely say that you should not quit your blog. Why would you want to anyway? The question of quitting your blog usually crops up when it has been up for a while and it has either made no money or has stopped making money.

You usually find that the person who has set up the blog has seen some of these courses being advertised, promising earnings of thousands of dollars per day and when they look at their blog and realise they are only making a few dollars per week they simply give up.

By Samantha On June 15, 2010 Comments Off

This month we are showcasing the product creati0n guru which is a fantastic product creation PLR product for adding to your portfolio of products.

Creating a new product is one part of internet marketing that people struggle with the most and this product creation PLR will give you the perfect outlet for making money online.

Do you expose your affiliate links

By Samantha On June 14, 2010 3 Comments

A question I am often asked is should you expose your affiliate links? I believe that all affiliate links should be hidden but that is just my opinion. It doesn’t take long to cloak an affiliate link and it is something that I have done for quite some time now.

If you are operating in markets away from internet marketing or the make money online niche, then it is not such a big problem, but if you are involved in these niches I would always recommend it.


Blogging if you are not a natural writer

By Samantha On June 11, 2010 13 Comments

I often people say that they do not want to start a blogging business because they are not a natural writer. If you feel this way please do not let that small matter put you off in any way, it really is not a problem because there are lots of ways to get around it.

To begin with, unless your blog is on a subject which requires lots of technical know how and perfect grammar, many of your visitors will not care if you are a natural writer at all. As long as you are able to get your point across then that is all that really matters.

By Samantha On June 9, 2010 7 Comments

The Samantha Milner Fast Track Tutorial for June is now live and available for you to download instantly. This month’s issue is all about niche marketing and how in a few short steps you can have your very own profitable niche business.

Niche marketing is often made extremely complicated and there is simply no reason for this. So I have created a few short steps that are easy to follow so that you can grasp your niche with ease.

The biggest problem with niche marketing is that people spend way too many months deciding on their niche and by this time they have totally missed out on making money from it.


Dealing with bad customers

By Samantha On June 7, 2010 3 Comments

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.

Exit Splash – My Honest Review

By Samantha On June 1, 2010 Comments Off

Before I start talking about Exit Splash I know exactly what you are going to say and that is how annoying these exit pages are! If you are not familiar with them they are the pages that appear when you try and close a sales page for a particular product. They will usually offer you some kind of discount or bonus if you stay on the sales page and it is not unusual for these exit pages to pop up in a sequence of 3 or 4 times.


10 Things Holding You Back From Making Money Online

By Samantha On May 31, 2010 9 Comments

Today is a guest blog post especially written by James Adams

You started your business with every intention of being successful, but it’s just not happening. Everything should be coming up roses, but all you’re getting is the thorns. What might be holding you back from making the money you deserve?

1. Failure to believe that you can make money: Believing that you are unable to make money or that you are unworthy of the money you receive lowers your profits. If you don’t believe that you can do it, that attitude becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Conversely, if you believe that you can, opportunities to make money online will present themselves.


Don’t run before you can walk with your online business

By Samantha On May 26, 2010 Comments Off

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.
