As a Website Owner OPT-IN rate is important to establish long term relationships with your visitors.

& Happy New Year

So what’s happening? well I’ve been giving away some domains, helping quite a few people get there business idea’s online and for me it’s start of something new.

I’ve spent  2 years developing domain monetisation systems some which have produced results far beyond my expectations.

This year has seen some pheonomenal growth in my friendships (customers) and work partners (Joint Venture Partners & Virtual Assistants, Server Admin’s and Marketing Consultants.)

So with this new found growth I’m looking to take a slightly different approach, that’s why my blog has suffered a lack of posts. I’m passionate about domaining it’s that the hype of the industry and the mass production of blogs, feeds, twitter, video all saying the same thing from the same people is getting a little tiresome.  I believe it’s time domainers started to make some massive changes (myself included) to produce unique content and create an experience for our visitors that big corporations just can’t do.

A fine example of this is all the Patrick Swayze domains currently being snapped up by death grabbing greedy domainers who will turn his whole dealth into a billboard of  advertisement for his movies on DVD and Blu-ray titles.

It’s a shame that a few domainers use this method to produce an income, as I’ve mention before there are 100′s of ways to monetise domain names without the need of profiting from a death of a popular figure such as Patrick Swayze.

So where to from here?

I’m looking to revamp my blog  with fresh new *Original* content based on some of the products/services and projects I’m working on, I’m going to give you sneak peak to behind the scences and more how to articles to really show you how you can make some simple changes that will dramatically increase your results.

BackupSmart Desktop Software

Well it’s good news for website owners because someone has finally made it easy to backup your website files and databases without needing to log into your cPanel control panel every single time.

Gone are the days when you forget to backup or run out of time to backup your precious data.

Think about this for a moment…

What happens when your web host has a failure and your account get’s damaged or worse case scenario, the web host loses everything.?

Do you rely on your web host to take backups for you? Check the fine print of most web hosts terms of service and they will state that they are not responsible for your data, even if it’s their fault. Great isn’t it.

So what’s the solution. Simple. Backup your data regularly.

Let me tell you how to do it on cPanel web servers, it’s quite labour intensive.

a) Go to your http://yourwebsite.com:2082 and enter in your login credentials.
b) Go to the Backup icon (will look different depending on your cPanel theme)
c) Click on the link to download the home directory backup (this will take all your files)
d) Click on the links to download your databases
e) Click on the links to download your email filters or email aliases

Download it now!

http://46gb.com/i/backupsmart/

Now do that once a week or month for your home directory (files) and everyday for your databases like WordPress, Forums, Shopping Carts, Email Lists.

No thanks I have better things to do with my time.

That’s where Backup Smart comes in. It’s a desktop software application that runs on Windows and MAC OSX. It automates the whole backup process I’ve just outlined for you.

You just set it and forget it. Backups are done on a schedule set by you, it’s just so easy.

If you even have just one website with a database then you need this software to protect your assests. But if you have more than one website on different servers with multiple databases then this software is a huge time saver and you’ll wonder how you ever did without it.

Before making the decision to embark on an Internet marketing campaign you should carefully consider your target audience. The Internet is used widely around the world but whether or not members of your target audience are likely to utilize the Internet to research or purchase the products or services you sell is not guaranteed. This is significant because investing a great deal of time, effort and money into Internet marketing when your target audience is not likely to respond to these efforts is not worthwhile.

Conducting market research can do a great deal to help you determine whether or not you should invest in an Internet marketing campaign for your business. This step is very important because it will give you a good indication of whether or not you should even begin marketing your business on the Internet. Hiring a firm specializing in market research is recommended because they can conduct this research quickly and efficiently and will likely gain a great deal of valuable information as a result of their research efforts. If they determine your business can benefit from an Internet marketing campaign, it is time to start thinking about how you want to advertise your business online.

Again, seeking the help of professionals can be an extremely worthwhile investment. If you are not well versed in the industry of Internet marketing, hiring a firm with a great deal of expertise in this industry can be very helpful. They can assist you by consulting with you to determine which marketing strategies will be most effective, designing advertisements for your campaign, helping you to orchestrate your Internet marketing campaign and evaluating the results of marketing efforts to determine which strategies are working and which are not.

The potential for success with an Internet marketing campaign is virtually limitless. The success you enjoy is only limited by your ability to promote your products and services and execute effective marketing strategies. Some of the marketing strategies you may wish to employ may include optimizing your website for relevant search terms, placing links to your website judiciously on the Internet, writing and publishing e-newsletters and utilizing affiliates to promote your website.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is one of the most important aspects of any Internet marketing campaign. SEO is so important because it dictates the ranking of your website on popular search engines. Internet users value these results and are not likely to seek out websites which do not rank well with search engines. Conversely, high ranking websites can enjoy a great deal of increased website traffic as a result of these rankings.

Inbound links to your website are also important in Internet marketing. Inbound links are links on other websites which direct users to your website. These links are important in an Internet marketing campaign. First of all many search engines factor inbound links into their ranking algorithms which means inbound links can result in higher search engines rankings. Also, these links can be used directly by website users to access your website. This means you can gain traffic directly from these links.

Another way to enjoy a successful Internet marketing campaign is to orchestrate an affiliate marketing campaign. Affiliates are essentially website owners who place a banner ad on their website to direct traffic to your website. Typically, affiliates are only compensated when the advertisement on their website produces a desired effect such as enticing the users to click through the advertisement, resulting in a sale or resulting in another action such as filling out a survey or registering with your website. Affiliate marketing can not only be highly effective but it is also cost effective because you only pay the affiliates when they produce results.

But there is SO MUCH bogus information out there, often coming from
the “gurus” themselves.

Jonathan Leger has released a new free report that completely
obliterates the following myths about Google (and then goes on to
show you what DOES work):

Myth #1: Google Knows All and Sees All
Myth #2: Google Will Not Rank Duplicate Content
Myth #3: You Must Get Links From Related Subject Sites to Rank
Myth #4: Your Site Must Focus On One Subject To Rank
Myth #5: High PageRank Means Good Rankings
Myth #6: To Maintain Good Rankings, You Must Add New Content

..and..
MYTH #7: THE BIGGEST MYTH: Ranking In Google Is Hard!

And did I mention he’ll pay you for referring other people to this
powerful free report?  And that he’ll pay you for anyone THEY refer
as well (even while it’s in pre-launch)?  Find out more about that

I’ve update the look and feel of the site to be simpler more informative and less “sales” pitches.

Does that mean I’m not making money online?

No but after being on 30+ “Guru’s” list I’ve come to realise the ones I read are the ones who teach me something and I’ve checked my purchases over 2007 and I can tell you that I purchased a least 300% to 500% more from those people who have taught me a couple of tricks that worked than a straight sales pitch each and every email.

So with that I’ve change the style of the blog to reduce the “commercial” content and made it more informative more and more articles and posts will be added every week in to include some of my favourite ways to make money online.

2008 is just around the corner I look forward to hearing/reading your comments and questions until next then enjoy the last few days of 2007 and I look forward to helping you on your journey in 2008.

Well it’s on for young and old there some products that are just rehashes from the late 90′s that are available FREELY and people are paying up to $50 USD just to have it crazy I know.

But what’s more interesting is that buyers are becoming more aware and that these type of “products” are giving people a bad reputation and thus spoiling the online experience for customers.

Well enough is enough over the last couple of weeks I’ve been out on the prowl buying products and using them if they don’t do what the sales letter says if not I ask for a refund.

I’m not refering to making $$$ as that is dependant on my action I’m refering to the product functionality if it’s suppose to provide you with a benefit information that you don’t know and when you apply it the results are positive.

I’m also cracking down on Internet Marketers who offer HUGE bonus only to find out that you have to add you name and your email to 15 other Internet Marketers who are going to email you weekly, and now your inbox is flooded with offers.

I will be naming and shaming such stupid people who do this to their customers.

Don’t forget to subscribe to my RSS feed this will make sure you get the lastest updates from my new category Product Reviews.

Well noe Joel Comm has targeting us Internet Marketers those highly competitive individuals to compete on a TV show called The Next Internet Millionaire.

Now I’ve watch Joel Comm’s style and it’s pretty simple he offers you something nice and free then hits you with a one time offer (OTO) that can bee anywhere from $17 $47 to purchase after that he offer friebies to other which you have to give your name and email address to by the end of it your on 3 -5 lists for all sorts of things, confusing isn’t it?

Well check out the first episode of the Next Internet Millionaire to find out how this is all made simple using  a very simple method.

BUT, it doesn’t take a whole caboodle of cash to generate website traffic for your site.

Ever wonder how does big hit sites drive traffic top their site? Most of them are spending tons of money to drive the traffic to their sites, investing in many advertising campaigns and different forms of marketing schemes and gimmickries. This is all worthwhile because, well, they are what they are now, high earning, big hitting websites.

You don’t have to do this if you don’t really have their resources. There are many ways to generate low cost website traffic without having to spend what you don’t have or can’t afford. Many people have banked on high cost methods and have ended up losing their shirt over it.

Here I present to you the Top five ways to generate low cost website traffic that could help your site a whole lot. Even if you only get a small percentage of successful visitors in to client ratio it still works especially if you get a high number of website traffic.

Exchange Links

This is a sure and proven method. Rarely would you see a site where there is no link to another site. Many webmasters are willing to exchange links with one another so that they could produce more public awareness about their sites. You’ll soon see and feel the sudden upsurge of the traffic coming in to your site from other sites.

A major prerequisite in exchanging links with other sites is having the same niche or content as the other site. They should share a common subject so that there is continuity in the providing of service and information to what interests your target traffic.

Exchanging links also boosts your chances of getting a high ranking in search engine results. It is common knowledge that search engines ranks high sites that have inbound and outbound theme-related links. With a good ranking position in the search engines, you will generate more traffic in your website without the high costs.

Traffic Exchange

This is like exchanging links but on a different higher level. This may cost a bit more than exchanging or trading links but could be made cheaper because you get to earn credits. You can use those credits when viewing others traffic, while you earn credits when someone views yours.

Traffic exchange services are the viewing of another’s site or page. This is done vice versa where a site can use your sites contents and so can you to his or her site. You both benefit from each others efforts to generate traffic. The other sites visitors can go to your pages and know more about your site as well as theirs. Once again the public awareness of your sites existence is boosted.

Write and Submit Articles

There are many e-zines and online encyclopedias in the internet which provides free space for articles to be submitted. If you want to save costs, you can do the articles yourself. There are many freelance writers who are willing to write for you for a small fee, but to save money, it is wise to do those articles yourself.

Write articles that are themed along with the niche of your site. Write something that you have expertise on so that when they read it, they can feel your knowledge about the subject and will be eager to go to your site. Write articles that produce tips and guidelines to the subject or niche your site has.

Include a resource box at the end of your article that can link them to your site. Write a little about yourself and your site. If you provide a light, information-laden and interesting article, they will go to your site for more.

Make a Newsletter.

This may sound like hard work because of all the articles you may need to use to build a newsletter but on the contrary, this is not so. There are many writers and sites that are willing to provide free articles as long as they can get their name in on your newsletter. This will also provide free advertising for them as well.

As your newsletter gets pass around, you can widen your public awareness and build an opt-in list that can regularly visit your site.

Join Online Communities and Forums

This only requires your time and nothing else. You can share your knowledge and expertise with many online communities as well as your website. You can get free advertising when you go to forums that have the same subject or niche with your site.

Share your two cents and let them see how knowledgeable you are with the subject. As you build your reputation, you also build the reputation of your site, making it a reputable and honest business that could be frequented and trusted by many people.

Sound familiar?

How many emails have you gotten with the heading “Death of <Insert service or product>” ?

It’s now time to get an understanding that some information products such as Adsense Video’s and other third party related products can be outdated rather quickly with a rule change or software update.

So what makes a useful product?

1. Must be able to regain purchase price in 30 days
2. Must be simple and easy to use/implement
3. Support must be great email them first to find out!
4. Must be duplicatable to allow multiple income streams

My favourite product at the moment is the $7 Scripts.

http://tinyurl.com/2n99qb

Why? becuase Jonathon Ledger has updated the script at least 3 times in the last couple of months and for $7.00 it’s a bargain not only does he provide you with a great script but if your not a techie you can simple just resell the script using his site!

So far I’ve made $49 USD doing nothing, I haven’t even installed his script yet just refering other people to his site imagine how much I would make if I implemented the scripts using one of my own products?

Now $49USD is not alot of money but it’s 700% profit from the measley $7 I invested, you show me anyone who can make that kind of profit from $7 and only 2mins of emailing my friends?

Heck I should promote it even more I’ve got nothing to lose it’s made it’s money back 7 times now, so why am I telling you?

It’s a simple product with little risk $7 is not alot compared to other scripts/products selling up to $2000.00 that need you you to install or pay techie’s to install and still not return on investment until you add products, create sales pages etc.

But you still need to take some action just not alot
