SubscribeThe Avatar Movie: What can it do for your business
Thank you for returning to our Internet Marketing Blog. To be the first to hear about updates please subscribe.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.
Does your internet marketing business have working capital?
This is a question that very rarely gets asked because it is a subject that many internet marketers think about but never discuss so I am discussing it right now!
An internet marketing business is like any business, yes you don’t have to put a lot of money down to get it started but you still need to have some working capital. This to me is what stops you from quitting your 9-5 job. You need to be able to put the money straight back into your business to make it successful and this is what can take the time away from you.
What It Takes To Be An Affiliate Marketer
This a guest Blog post, by Garen Arnold, who blogs about everything SEO every Friday.
Affiliate marketing is appealing to so many people. I remember 3 years ago when I first started learning SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and Internet marketing. It appeals to so many people because you can work from home and essentially make money in your sleep.
However, you have probably heard that a million times before, but there is a huge learning curve you need to go through if you want to make it as a successful affiliate marketer. In fact, if you have a 9-5 currently and are new to Internet marketing I encourage you to take the time to learn SEO and affiliate marketing, as you work your way out of you job.
The power of the internet marketing interview
The first time I was interviewed I thought what is so interesting about me? Why on earth would anybody want to interview me and most of all why should I let some interview me. It just seemed like a waste of time for both of us.
However I soon realised that both parties can really profit from an internet marketing interview and since my very first one I have done hundreds of them since. They are a perfect way of both parties using the interview to build your reputation online. This can then bring you both excellent traffic and increase your SEO levels.
4 Powerful Tips For Successful Social Bookmarking
Today is a guest Blog post especially written by Linky van der Merwe.
All the DSM-Publishing followers will know that Samantha Milner is an internet marketer who shares her knowledge and experience freely, especially when it comes to the use of social media tools like Twitter and Facebook. Using the opportunity to do a guest post for her blog, I wanted to ensure that I share something really useful and practical, just like the DSM-Publishing tutorials.
Social Bookmarking as a Social Media Tool
Of all the social media tools available today, social bookmarking has probably been around the longest. I learned from one of Samantha’s tutorials the value of social bookmarking for your business.
Do you consider yourself an internet marketer?
The big question is do you actually consider yourself to be an internet marketer? As this is one of the first steps to take if you want to be successful online as an internet marketer. It is actually quite surprising how many people do not actually consider themselves as internet marketers just as individuals that are considering making money online or to take make a quick buck!
But being an internet marketer is actually a great career move and can take you from a little side line to a full time online business owner. To start on online business can cost very little money yet the rewards can be so powerful in the long run.
Time verses money – what do you have to give?
One of the hardest parts of internet marketing is do decide what you have to give and having money for your online business can have it earning a lot quicker than you would expect. This is because you will have the time to put into creating products because you are paying out for the other sections of the business.
You can have someone to do all the data entry tasks for you for example they could easily free up 20 hours of your working week. I have someone that just does my social bookmarking for me once a week and this on it’s own would cost me at least 25 hours a week in time yet the cost for it is a drop in the ocean.

Thoughts through the storm
The weather was particularly bad last night and the wind kept me up most of the night due to the level of the storm we are currently experiencing in Portugal. I count myself lucky though because even though the heavens are open right now least we do not have the snow that has taken over England in recent months.
But when I am sat in bed on a night last most people something will enter my mind. After all nobody has a blank brain and it is at this point when I get some of my best ideas for niches or new products that will work well. I also think about wanting a lie in the following morning though that never actually happens.
Your fellow blogger is your best friend
The truth is that your fellow bloggert is your best friend. They are not your enemy or your competition like many of you wrongly assume. They are the person you can share your posts with, share ideas and even share advertising space.
Together you are armed with a way of earning even more money joining forces to see what you are capable of achieving.
How do you think that most product owners get the reviews out there on the internet as quick as what they do?
Why people don’t make money online
The truth is that for every 100 people that want to break into internet marketing 90 if them will fail. Plain and simple – they will always be winners and losers in the internet marketing world. Put simply you simply don’t want to be one of them so why not find out why people don’t make money online?
From observing the internet marketing world for nearly decade (since I sold my very first product on the internet) I have seen many people fail and at the same time watched many others succeed online. Through mentoring that I have offered over the years from the outset I can tell straight away who is going to make it and who hasn’t got a cat in hells chance.

Offline Businesses would learn from Internet Marketers
I went for a lovely walk around Silves yesterday, which is a lovely town in The Algarve that is a 20 minute drive to the beach and is well known in the summer with the tourists. I have recently moved here (10 days ago) and was ashamed to say I hadn’t actually checked out my local town.
It is a really beautiful place and can fully understand why the tourists are so smitten with it. I would personally recommend it to everyone. After checking out the shops like every woman would we made our way past the beautiful river and towards the restaurants. I had been told the food was something special here and I was dying to see it for myself.
My Free Report is number one on Google
I know this probably sounds like the daftest Blog Post that you have ever come across but this is such a simple yet important method. You should always plan your title of your Website or Blog and you WILL see a difference in the search engines (SEO) and I can prove it!
If you type in the term “break into the make money online niche” you will see that I am number one.
The importance of an eye catching popup
Picture the scene, you have set up a great product and your affiliates are making you a killing. You just can’t get over the amount of wonderful sales you now have thanks to someone else promoting YOUR PRODUCT.
But that is it – The sales are over and the customer has now left your website for good with no reason to return. However it really doesn’t need to be like this you can achive so much more from it.
A quality pop up can really be the answer!
Brag about positives NOT negatives
When starting an internet marketing online business it is very important that you start out with something that you are genuinely talented in and not just something that you know very little about.
Why focus on the negatives when we all have these amazing talents that are being left to rot?
For one offering a free product to join your Ezine that you know absolutely nothing about is a prime example. The amount of times I have seen someone offer a product called “learn how to make your first $10,000 online”. You then spot a thread started by them along the lines of “help Warriors I need to know how to make my first $100 a day online”.
My secret affiliate weapon
I am not the biggest of affiliate marketers. I don’t go writing review after review or affiliate other people’s products via pay per click.
What I do though is take advantage of space that I have on my websites. If you have room at the bottom of your website why not have an affiliate marketing image jumping out ready for someone to click on. When you have a mailing list and don’t have a one time offer (OTO) to send people to why not forward it to an affiliate link.
How to be better than the Internet Marketing Gurus
Whatever your online story we all come across the very same thing. Guru’s in every direction telling you that they started out like this and you must do the exact same as them otherwise you won’t make a penny online.
WRONG
Have you ever thought that all you are is a number to them that they can subsequently spam for a lifetime and that the free ezine doesn’t actually materialise.
Article Writing
Article Writing has become the pinnacle of the success of an online business to create the ultimate level of SEO. I for one could not live without it now and I have discovered how great it really is.
It can create many links back to your Website or Blogs. Creating an instant stream of traffic with very little effort. Even if you do outsource this part of your business you can still do it for an extremely good price. If you shopped around you could even do it for as little as $5 an article.
Anti-social Networking
We’ve never been big fans of internet marketing using social networking sites. So I built the profile and answered just two questions and left it alone. One of the questions that we answered was “Can you recommend a hosting provider for my first website”. I answered the question in about two short and to the point paragraphs and then added details about a review I had written about Hostgator saying how much it had helped me. I also included my details at the bottom to give it a more friendly touch and left it at that and forgot about it.
A special offer for you
When I started my Internet marketing Career like many others it developed on eBay and soon became nicknamed “the queen of eBay”. I became a Powerseller in ninety days and developed an eye for finding niches on the auction site that I believe are still available today.
I was also one of the first to start building my mailing list from eBay utilising the system to my advantage.
I now take advantage of the eBay traffic system without actually paying anything in eBay fees. eBay charges a fortune in eBay fees and why should we all have to pay such a large amount when there are fantastic alternatives.
