Copyright © Liane Bate http://www.HonestMoneyMaking.comYour online business will likely require more advertising than a contemporary business downtown. Yet some people new to the world of online business do not spend the time and money to advertise their business appropriately and are, in turn, losing money. Your online business is crammed into the world wide web along with thousands of others selling the same product or service as yourself. Consider this scenario: In your hometown you want to open an art supply store. In that same town there are thousands of art supply stores. In order for your business to be successful, it will have to stand out in some way from the others. This is exactly what is happening when a business is opened online. There is so much competition, that you must take drastic measures to ensure that you are getting noticed. Advertising can be done in so many ways online. These are some of the most successful ways that you can promote your online business. Advertising in e-zines is a popular way to promote your online business. Ezines are the magazines of the internet; they are written on a particular subject and read by those interested in that subject. Therefore, ezine readers are already potential customers, and advertising your site in ezines that are related to your business is almost guaranteed to help drive traffic to your site and increase sales for your product. You should be sure when advertising in ezines that you are not advertising along side competitors. Ask the ezine producer if there is a policy concerning posting competing ads. It is also a good idea to subscribe to the ezine before making a decision about whether or not to advertise in it. An ezine that runs fewer ads is a better choice than one that runs many ads. You can look at the online Directory of Ezines to find publications that are relevant to your company. Pay-per-click programs are an excellent way to advertise your business without taking a risk that you have advertised in the wrong place. With pay-per-click, you can advertise your site and only pay for those who click the link and go to your site. Another popular pay-per-click program is the pay-per-lead program that allows you to only pay for leads. Usually this means that you pay for only those who download a trial, fill out a form, or enter a sweepstakes; whatever you choose. Lastly, you can display pay-per-click banner ads in which your company would be allowed to place a banner on their site and you will be charged for every click that your banner receives. Opt-In email is a great way to advertise your business, however it is expensive and it can be misused very easily. Using opt-in emails, you would submit your sales copy to the company that will in turn email it to those on their mailing list. You should be very careful since some of the companies that advertise their mailing lists as opt-in email service is sometimes really SPAM. It is essential that you have a perfect and effective sales letter when using opt-in mailing lists. Without an effective sales copy your money and time have been wasted.

Copyright © Liane Bate http://www.HonestMoneyMaking.comBlogging is one of the newest and biggest trends in internet marketing, so if you haven't yet created your website blog, now is an ideal time to get started, as it will drive traffic to your site in hoards! What is a blog? Short for "weblog", a blog is a post that you can, and should update regularly, filled with your opinions, your voice, your daily journal or diary, things you have learned, things you want to share, breaking news, or a place for links to your favourite sites. A blog is a place also where others can post comments, and their links, and you can visit other blogs to post your comments and links. This is a new trend you don't want to miss out on. It's an easy, free, and ideal way to add value to your website, and great content, which is what the search engines are after these days. First you want to set up a free blogger account with a site like Blogger, or Wordpress - a place where you can create your blog, add to it, update, or edit it. Once it's finished the site allows your blog to be published instantly, with your signature attached linking back to your site. When you publish your blog, your information will be indexed by the search engines right away, and your blog will show up in some of the free search engine listings when people search for the keywords in your posts. This will generate amazing traffic from people already looking for what you have written about! After you have published your blog, you want to "ping" it. This means that you go to a ping site like Ping-o-Matic, and are sending information with the click of your mouse to notify blog listing services that your blog has been updated. Do this after each time you change or add to your blog. Your blog content will be indexed and linked to their networks. To market your blog, you can send a broadcast to your newsletter subscribers letting them know about your new blog and ask them for feedback! You can also transfer your blogger blog to your own website home page and make it available to everyone who visits your site. You must be sure to update your blog regularly or it will not drive traffic to your site. Also be sure to visit other people's blogs, post a comment about their blog, and leave your signature with a link back to your site at the end. This will give you important and valuable links pointing back to your own site. Get in on the latest free marketing trend by creating your blog today! You won't regret it!

Copyright © Liane Bate http://www.HonestMoneyMaking.comCross promotions are not a new idea. They have been used by businesses for a very long time. For example, a real-estate company may promote a certain lawyer to close a sale, as the lawyer will promote that agency in his firm. The system is somewhat similar to the primitive barter system, where people traded items rather than using money. How can anything primitive fit into the online world of internet marketing? Very easily. Cross promotions are, simply stated, a trade of advertising space. Instead of paying for advertising space on a site, you would place their ad on your page and yours on theirs. There are many ways to use cross promotions in your internet business that can be an effective and cost efficient way to advertise. One way is to use link exchanges. This is very effective when doing cross promotions with a company that is similar to yours, however you should be sure and never link to a page that is in direct competition with yours. One of the best things about link exchanges is that some search engines are factoring in hits from the sites that are linked to your page when determining the ranking. Therefore linking to a more popular site can not only increase your advertising and traffic, but also increase your search engine ranking. When customers or potential customers subscribe to your ezine you can use this as an opportunity to use cross promotions. On the same page that the customer subscribes to your ezine, make available the opportunity to subscribe to another company's ezine. You can even exchange ad space in ezines, and provide recommendations for those whom you cross promote with. You might even want to exchange column space in one another's ezines. Writing free articles that inform customers or potential customers with information that is useful and accurate can create a reputation for you and your business. Soon readers will come to know you as an expert on the subject. In these articles the author uses a byline to help promote his site. Bylines can be a way to use cross promotions as well. You can use part of the space in your byline to recommend another's product. If you have been considering writing an ebook, a joint venture could mean increased profits for you and the person you are partnering with. Cross promotions through ebooks are an excellent way to allow for a wider topic and to promote both your business and your partner's business. The ebook should contain information that will benefit both businesses and still be helpful to the reader. A good example of using cross promotions through an ebook is to a site selling used video games partnering with a site selling gaming devices. These are two subjects that would interest the same reader and most likely lead the reader to both sites. You should keep in mind that the recommendations that you make are a direct reflection of you, so choose your cross promotional businesses carefully. Also keep in mind that it would be nice as a shopper to be able to link from one site to another as a way to "shop around". Since this is usually not beneficial to you, never link or recommend a site that is in direct competition with you. Instead, recommend those who are similar, such as health and life insurance.

Copyright © Liane Bate http://www.HonestMoneyMaking.comOne of the first things people think of when it comes to marketing their website business is to submit their URL to all the major search engines and directories. This usually turns out to be a long and arduous task, and it sometimes takes weeks or even months to get their website listed in the search engines. A newer and more effective way to market one's business today is to write good quality articles full of content that the search engine spiders will pick up. So you cringe at the thought of writing an article - You don't have a clue how to write. The good news is that you can pay to have articles written for you. You have the opportunity to market your business by publishing your articles on your blog, other people's blogs, on websites, and in email newsletters. Unless you pay to have your articles written for you, this is free, and perhaps one of the best ways to advertise your business! When you write your own articles and post them on your website or blog, and distribute them over the internet, people will read them, will maybe use them for their own websites, and they begin to trust and appreciate you as a good source of information. Once they get to know you, they may feel more inclined to click on your links, and you may have a new customer! When you submit articles through article submitter sites, your name and link is attached to that article for life. If someone else chooses to use your article, your link will appear on their site. Thus the more articles you write and submit, the more links you will have that point back to your website. Of course you want your article content to reflect what is on your website, which later translates into sales. Most of the articles you write should be 400-500 words long, so it only takes half an hour or so to come up with a decent article and submit it for free. It helps to make 3 or 4 major points, and also to share your point of view on the subject. The better quality your article is, the more likely it will be picked up by the search engines, where good quality content these days is key. If you choose to have someone write the articles for you, you can use several ghost-writing services. For $19.95 or so, you can choose how many articles you want, the subject, the number of words, and they will do it all for you. You can also join an article club, which will produce 30 articles for you per month for a fee. After you've written your article, you can submit it manually to many of the article directories, which can be very time consuming but is usually free. To save time, you can automate the process and send your article to hundreds of article directories with one click. This can be costly, but time and energy saving. The choice is yours, but article submitter software is a quick, easy, and highly effective way to drive traffic to your site. So far, I have manually sumbitted my articles to one article submitter site, and plan to submit to many more directories in the near future. Will I purchase the article submitter software? I most likely will, seeing as though I like to write, and article marketing is perhaps the best advertising method around!

Copyright © Liane Bate http://www.HonestMoneyMaking.comWould you buy meat from a grocery store that left the bad meat in with the good meat or wasn't clean? Would you buy a car from a sales lot that had totaled automobiles on the front lot? I wouldn't and neither would you. Your website is your grocery store; your car lot. You must have an atmosphere that is pleasing to buyers. One that tells that buyer that you are not an amateur, but instead a trained, seasoned professional. Your site is a direct reflection of your product and that is why having a well designed website can make or break your sales. The first thing to keep in mind when designing your website, is "surfability". Take a few minutes to look around at several web pages. What makes them appealing? Were there some that you closed out of immediately? Why? Take notes and do your research. Keep in mind that when a person visits your site they have a goal in mind. They are either seeking information or shopping for a product. Give the person what they want without having to search for it. Be sure that all the information on your site is relevant to your product. Make the buyer think that they need your product to solve their problem. Your main page serves a very specific purpose. It should be an avenue by which the customer can shop your site. It should be easy to view and load very quickly. This is your first impression and we all know that first impressions can either close the deal or lose the deal. Make it simple. It is best to have links that are easily viewable by the reader that will navigate them to where they want to be. Tables are often a great choice when deciding on a way to design the main page of your site. Your main page should load very quickly. Chances are if it takes the page more than ten seconds to load even on a 56k modem, the customer will click away to save time, hoping to find the information or product elsewhere. To increase the loading speed of your main page you should avoid large graphics or excessive graphics. Too many banners or special effects can cause a page to load slowly as well. To make your web site more appealing to the eyes, you should stick to mild colors. If your site is a content site where the user will be doing a lot of reading, it is best to stick to black and white. Color can be added when using tables, as a way to brighten up the page, but remember to keep the overall look of the page professional and appealing to the audience that will be visiting most often. Since screen resolutions vary among monitors, it is a good idea to set the pixels to a standard 800x600. You may also choose to set the tables in your web page to span a percentage of the page rather than a set number of inches. This will be sure to accommodate all screen sizes. You should remember that a lot of internet users will not use the same browser as you, and therefore you should be sure that your site looks as good on other browsers as it does on your own. You can do this by downloading several browsers through which to look at your page. Be aware of the fact that the overall look of your website is a way to make money. The appearance of the site, if designed properly, can be an excellent marketing strategy for your product or service.

Copyright © Liane Bate http://www.HonestMoneyMaking.comWhen starting a home business, we all feel excited, energized, and positive when we think about how rich we will become from our efforts. Nothing can stop us from achieving this goal. We have a plan, and we are well on our way to success. What many people don't know is that 95% of people who start an internet business fail, and quit after 6 months. What makes people fail? Are you going to be one of the 5% who succeeds, and how are you going to ensure your success? The initial problem for many people is that when they start an online business, they start it with the notion that they will "get rich quick". They jump into something without having any real business plan, and then realize soon enough that there are no ways to get rich quick on the internet. They fall for the many scams that claim to make them rich with minimal effort and a small monetary investment. When they come to the realization themselves that they are not getting rich quick, and that it takes time, energy, and money to build a business, they give up just as quickly as they jumped in. Their attitude prevents them from being successful. I don't want to completely discourage people from "jumping in", because another problem for many people is that they read and do their research, but then they never take action. While researching your market and reading books by the experts is an important first step, you cannot be successful if you are too afraid to take action, try things out, and see what works. A solid business is not built by being passive. So now you have a great attitude, and realize that your business takes time to build momentum, get established, and that you need to take action. But then suddenly you are bogged down with all of the new information coming at you from all directions, your email inbox is full, you have offers and promotions coming from everywhere, other people are telling you to do this and that, and you are encouraged to upgrade your accounts. You are swamped and have information overload, which is precisely another reason people give up. They have not chosen one plan and stuck to it. They get side-tracked, lose focus, are overwhelmed, and throw their arms up in the air in a panic. Patience and persistence is the key! Another reason people fail is that they do not know how to advertise, or don't have the money to advertise their business. It is worth finding out what advertising methods work the best - how to generate traffic, how to get your site indexed with the search engines, writing articles, blogging, linking, and so on. It is not necessary to spend a fortune in advertising, but the more you can spend, the quicker the results will come in. For those on a limited budget, the results will happen, but it will take longer, and it's the extra time it takes, and the monetary losses during that time that discourage people from continuing to build their business. When it comes down to it, we must start our businesses with a plan, and with the attitude that we will succeed, while realizing that it does take time, energy, effort, money, advertising in effective ways, and taking consistent action every day. Will you be one of the 5% who succeeds? It all depends on you!
