			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most common struggles newer internet marketers experience is developing constant streams of traffic to their websites and offers. Without the flow of ongoing traffic, your website and your offers die out. <strong>You MUST be smart</strong> about getting multiple streams of long-term web traffic or you won&#8217;t survive.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s harsh, but it&#8217;s true. <em>Getting those eyeballs is our lifeblood.</em></p>
<p>The good news is that there are literally thousands of different ways to generate traffic for free. I mean &#8220;free&#8221; in the sense that it doesn&#8217;t cost you any money &#8211; it will cost you time.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s talk about one of my favorite methods. It&#8217;s ridiculously easy and you can do this several times in a lazy afternoon&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>First,</strong> you find a long-tail keyword phrase that your target niche is searching for.  I generally try to target searches that receive a bare <strong>minimum of 1,000 searches per month.</strong> (Note: If you&#8217;re in a niche where customers are paying a lot of money for your goods or services, you will probably be able to get away with 300 to 500 searches per month.)</p>
<p><strong>Second,</strong> I analyze the <strong>strength of competition (SOC)</strong> for that long-tail keyword phrase. This can be found in seconds and in one click using the best keyword research tool on the market, <a href="http://imsimple.com/mnf.php">Micro Niche Finder</a>. The lower the SOC, the better your chances of ranking, but if it&#8217;s <strong>50 or below</strong> you&#8217;re golden. You stand a good chance of getting ranked for that phrase.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what Micro Niche Finder looks like once you&#8217;re inside:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-322" title="fatburningfoods" src="http://imsimple.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/fatburningfoods-300x228.jpg" alt="fatburningfoods" width="300" height="228" /></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a perfect example&#8230;</p>
<p>The term &#8220;natural fat burning foods&#8221; gets about 1,600 searches per month has an SOC of <strong>38.</strong> That means it&#8217;s a strong candidate to target as a long-tail keyword phrase.</p>
<p><strong>Third,</strong> I write a 350 to 500 word article targeting that topic. <strong>I include the exact keyword phrase in the title and in the first 50 words of the article.</strong> I also sprinkle it one or two additional times throughout the article. I submit these articles to EzineArticles watch the traffic roll in.</p>
<p><strong>Advanced tip: </strong>If you want to drastically increase your chances of ranking, you want to sprinkle in LSI keywords to your article. To find these, I use the Google Keyword Tool to search for the long-tail keyword phrase I&#8217;m targeting. The first 5 results in the list are the LSI keywords. Try to use at least 3 of those 5 LSI keywords exactly once in your article.</p>
<p><strong>Fourth,</strong> I rinse and repeat this process at least 5 to 10 times. Now, this is the important part&#8230;after about 2 weeks, I track which articles are doing the best (getting the most views and clicks) and then write more articles about similar long-tail keywords.</p>
<p>When you do this, it means big traffic. You&#8217;re taking proven winners and creating more using the exact same formula. You&#8217;re replicating success, and that&#8217;s going to multiply your traffic.</p>
<p><strong>Tip:</strong> You can also use the above formula to build streams of traffic to a new blog or website. Simply put half of the articles on your website, half on EzineArticles which points back to your blog or website. This builds real value&#8230;.remember that your website/blog is an ASSET that you can sell down the road. So, every article you put on your website increases the worth of the site.</p>
<p>Seriously, it doesn&#8217;t get much easier than the method I&#8217;ve outlined above. Take a market, find a weakness, create optimized content for that keyword and steal traffic from your competitors.</p>
<p>Of course, you <strong>need to be able to cash in on the traffic you&#8217;re getting. </strong>If you&#8217;re sending mass amounts of traffic to a page or offer that doesn&#8217;t convert, you&#8217;re going to leave a lot of money on the table. It&#8217;s extremely easy to maximize your income in simple, clever ways, and it doesn&#8217;t take much time.</p>
<p>With the right offer, you can make as much from 200 to 300 visitors as you can from 1,000s of people. You don&#8217;t need a whole lot of traffic to make a boatload of money, you just need the right business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-315" title="ATM" src="http://imsimple.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/atm.jpg" alt="ATM" width="280" height="299" />Over the past few years, blogging has become extremely popular. Nearly everyone who tries to make money online usually creates a blog very early in their Internet Marketing career, and for a very good reason &#8211; blogs alone can put serious cash into your bank account.</p>
<p>The big problem is that a lot of folks don&#8217;t use blogs properly. There was a time where you could have thrown up a simple Blogger blog, write a couple short articles, put up some Google AdSense ads, attract some web traffic, and then watch the money roll in.</p>
<p>That doesn&#8217;t work any longer.</p>
<p>Sure, you might make enough to pay for a few beers, but it&#8217;s not going to put a roof over your head. The good news is that blogs are still extremely lucrative and can put thousands of dollars into your pocket every single month &#8211; <em>if</em> you know what you&#8217;re doing.</p>
<p>The premier blogging tool, hands down, is <a href="http://wordpress.org">Wordpress</a>. It&#8217;s free, works well, and is easy to use. The only requirement is that you have a hosting account such as <a href="http://imsimple.com/bluehost.php">BlueHost</a> (who we use to host our websites and recommended) to host your website. In your hosting account control panel, you can automatically install Wordpress on your website in less than a minute by using Fantastico or Simple Scripts.</p>
<p>However, the key to making real money with blogs is to get creative. Yes, it&#8217;s a huge cliché&#8230;but you have to think out of the box. That&#8217;s why I use these 6 simple profit machines to maximize my income potential with Wordpress&#8230;feel free to steal them and build your own blogging empire:</p>
<p><strong>Profit Machine #1:</strong> Authority Sites</p>
<p>Setting up simple Niche Authority Sites is one of the easiest ways to start making a profit online, but it&#8217;s also the most time consuming. I wrote out an extensive step-by-step guide to building your first simple blog in a post I made over a year ago: <a href="http://imsimple.com/make-money-online/"><strong>Make Money Online</strong> &#8211; Step-By-Step Method<br />
</a><br />
<em>Note:</em> If you have no money to your name, you can use a Blogger blog to build your first authority site (as I recommend in the above guide), but I do recommend upgrading to Wordpress as soon as possible. It is far more customizable and offers you more opportunity to expand. Wordpress also provides a free blogs via their website, but you want the self-hosted option so you can upload your own themes and plugins.</p>
<p>It takes serious commitment to start one of these and stick to it &#8211; and you won&#8217;t see any immediate returns. However, if you post daily for 2 to 3 months, have a professional design and monetize it properly, you&#8217;ll be light years ahead of competing websites and you will able to pull in at least a few hundred dollars per month.</p>
<p>The real trick to becoming an authority site (rather than a boring &#8220;blog&#8221;) is to either position your company, your brand or yourself as an expert. This is a big stumbling block for a lot of people &#8211; most feel like they&#8217;re not an expert in any particular area. That&#8217;s simply not true. When I asked my Dad if he was an expert in anything, he said no&#8230;but that&#8217;s definitely not the case. He&#8217;s a perfect example&#8230;</p>
<p>My Dad spent 30+ years as a police officer and learned some extremely valuable skills that you wouldn&#8217;t expect. One of them was the ability to write grants that generated millions of dollars for equipment and additional personnel for his department. His success rate was incredibly high &#8211; over 90% of the grants he submitted were approved. That&#8217;s unheard of and it&#8217;s a skill that companies, organizations and individuals would pay thousands of dollars to learn. Starting an authority site about grants would be <em>perfect</em> for him.</p>
<p>You really need to think about your experiences and your interests. Even if you truly don&#8217;t feel like an expert on a topic, you can do research to become one. Spend an afternoon learning the basic &#8220;rules&#8221; of your niche and you&#8217;ll know more than 80%+ of the population, and that qualifies you as an expert.</p>
<p>Once you&#8217;ve established a topic for your authority site, spend some time doing research on the types of phrases people are searching for using a free tool such as <a href="https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal">Google&#8217;s Keyword Tool</a> or a premium tool such as <a href="http://rhodesbros.kickbutt.hop.clickbank.net">Micro Niche Finder</a>. (MNF is highly recommended &#8211; it makes it very easy for you to find profitable long-tail keywords and to quickly assess your competition.)<br />
<em><br />
<span style="font-style: normal;">Once you&#8217;ve found several keyword phrases that people are searching for, you focus your site&#8217;s content around those keywords and post to it daily. You build momentum for your new website by talking about your authority site on other blogs and niche forums, then offer to be a <a href="http://imsimple.com/guest-blogging/">guest blogger</a> for other popular blogs.</p>
<p>You make money via Google AdSense ads and affiliate links to start, but you will want to begin building an e-mail list using a provider such as <a href="http://imsimple.com/aweber.php">AWeber</a> as soon as you start seeing a significant number of visitors pour in. They visit your blog and you offer exclusive content as a &#8220;bribe&#8221; for signing up. With an e-mail list, you&#8217;ll be able to launch your own products or services at anytime. (I like to think of this as writing my own check.)</p>
<p>The potential with an authority blog alone is extremely high. It&#8217;s a very flexible model that can be expanded almost indefinitely, but it&#8217;s just one way to make money with blogs. Here&#8217;s a method that&#8217;s a little less conventional&#8230; </span></em></p>
<p><strong>Profit Machine #2:</strong> Niche Storefronts</p>
<p>A lot of people don&#8217;t know that you can actually setup an entire online store using Wordpress. Whether you want to sell items directly from your blog, or appear as a third-party store and simply refer customers to Amazon as an affiliate, Wordpress can help you establish these profit machines easily.</p>
<p>There are a couple of different ways you can do it&#8230;</p>
<p>a.) You can download a theme that converts your blog into a storefront. Some of these themes are fairly advanced and require a fee to download, but you may be able to find some for free. Once you have your website established, you can use Paypal to accept payments. Some of the more advanced themes even have an &#8220;Add to Cart&#8221; feature built in.</p>
<p>b.) You can download a plugin that automatically pulls in products from websites such as Amazon or eBay. These plugins can automatically include a picture and short description from those sites, integrated with your affiliate link. There are free and premium options for these types of plugins, but the premium options typically provide more options and flexibility.</p>
<p>If you decide to establish a store, you will want to make sure that you add some unique content (as the content you add will be from Amazon or eBay and won&#8217;t boost your search engine rankings) and also implement a professional design. This is effectively a type of authority site, but you will providing direct links to products or services rather than information. It&#8217;s harder to get traffic to these types of sites, but the quality of customers is often higher as they&#8217;re looking to buy a particular type of product.</p>
<p><strong>Profit Machine #3:</strong> Membership Sites</p>
<p>Membership sites are a tried-and-true method for generating long-term cash. There&#8217;s so much to say about memberships that we created an entire course called <a href="http://membershipblueprints.com">Membership Blueprints</a>. With that said, using Wordpress to power and protect a membership site is a very smart way to go.</p>
<p>In fact, we use Wordpress for our Simple Cash Blog Membership, our most popular resource. It&#8217;s extremely easy for anyone to do. First, install Wordpress in the location you want your member&#8217;s area. For example, you&#8217;ll want to install Wordpress in a location such as: http://yourdomain.com/members/</p>
<p>After you&#8217;ve installed it, you simply need to password protect either individual posts or the entire member&#8217;s area. For the Simple Cash Blog, we password protected the entire member&#8217;s directory in under 2 minutes using a tool called the <a href="http://imsimple.com/imsc">Instant Membership Site Creator</a>, which we sell for less than $20. If you want to password protect individual posts or provide different levels of access, you can use a plugin such as <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/s2member/">s2Member</a>.</p>
<p>The best part about using Wordpress for a membership site is that you can actually create content for the membership site in advance and schedule it to be posted at a future date. Your membership site could have a full year&#8217;s worth of content in queue without you ever having to touch it. (Of course, this might not be possible depending on the type of membership or the support you need to provide.)</p>
<p>The toughest part of the membership creation process is that you need to write an extremely powerful sales letter and provide &#8220;addictive&#8221; videos, articles and resources to your members. It&#8217;s significantly harder to get someone to subscribe to a $99 per month membership than to purchase a $99 product. Plus, if your content isn&#8217;t compelling enough, people will drop out. It happens all the time and some folks will even drop out immediately after joining.</p>
<p>The key for the membership site model is to provide an ongoing service or educational material to a very specific market, and to expose your membership to as many of those people as possible by partnering with others, advertising, article marketing and more.<br />

Profit Machine #4:</strong> Local Businesses</p>
<p>This is a rapidly growing opportunity that nearly every internet marketer can take advantage of. Most small, local businesses do not have a website, but most are rapidly realizing that they need to have one. It adds an immense amount of professionalism to a business if they have a well-designed website, and younger generations use internet search as their first resource to find out reviews or more information about a business.</p>
<p>As a 23 year old living in Toronto, I can tell you that I have only tried out new restaurants if I was able to read their menu online. There is a fantastic fish and chips restaurant 5 minutes down the road that I would have never found if they did not have a website. The website wasn&#8217;t even that fancy &#8211; it was simply professional enough that it gave me confidence that it was a good business.</p>
<p>The potential here is HUGE. There are a nearly endless list of services you can provide to offline businesses&#8230;</p>
<p>* Setup their site using Wordpress, then design it using a related theme (there are a lot of great themes available for restaurants, professional firms, and much more.)</p>
<p>* Charge a yearly fee to host their domain and website for them</p>
<p>* Sell them on Search Engine Optimization services &#8211; it&#8217;s extremely easy to rank for search terms in small towns</p>
<p>* Charge a monthly fee to update their website for them as needed &#8211; news, updates, new products or services and more.</p>
<p>* Charge firms to update their website design or ways to make money directly from their website</p>
<p>* Charge businesses for the ability to sell products directly via their site or to accept online ordering</p>
<p>That&#8217;s really just the tip of the iceberg. It&#8217;s easy to sell these types of services to small businesses. Provide a guarantee and legitimate recommendations to improve their business and you&#8217;ll be able to find a lot of customers who are willing to pay for monthly services.</p>
<p>Wordpress is an extremely powerful tool, but you have to remember that it&#8217;s only a tool &#8211; you need to think out of the box and apply the techniques above to create a profitable website that produces residual income for months and years to come.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://imsimple.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/where-to-start1.jpg" alt="Articles" title="Start to Make Money Online" width="227" height="218" class="alignleft" /></a>People are always asking us how to start making money online. The answer surprises most people: <em>pick anything and take action</em>. </p>
<p>I created an <a href="http://30cats.com/go/HowToStart">18 minute audio</a> to help you get started today. I talk about how to get started, what to promote and how to get traffic. It&#8217;s the perfect overview and I highly recommend you <a href="http://30cats.com/go/HowToStart">listen to it</a>.</p>
<p>What to know what I talk about? Here&#8217;s the simple formula&#8230;</p>
<p>You start by doing some niche research, looking at trends, following smart people or just taking a complete guess.</p>
<p>Next, you need to decide what you&#8217;re going to sell or promote. You can be an affiliate marketer, you can sell your own products or you can <a href="http://freebusinessmodel.com/">start your own membership</a>. Almost anything will work.</p>
<p>And lastly, you need to drive traffic using pay per click (PPC), writing blog entries, and writing articles. There&#8217;s a lot more you can do as well.  </p>
<p>This formula is so simple but &#8230; IT WORKS. Of course, there is more to learn. There is a &#8220;secret&#8221; in the audio I created. When you hear me say it &#8212; <em>and clearly explain it</em> &#8212; you&#8217;ll see why the process I&#8217;ve outlined above is so powerful.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not trying to scare you but you will FAIL if you don&#8217;t take my advice. You can pick the perfect niche, create the perfect product to sell or promote, and drive tons of traffic &#8212; but still fail. It&#8217;s important you listen to the audio succeed: <strong><a href="http://30cats.com/go/HowToStart">How to Start Making Money Online</a></strong> (FREE). </p>
<p>By the way, if you like that audio, <em>then you will love this stuff&#8230;</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>John and I hosted our first public teleseminar last night about how to get traffic to membership sites and how to make money online. One of the big things we talked about was <strong>strategic internet marketing</strong> &#8211; having a STRATEGY in place for your websites.</p>
<p>When trying to create traffic to their websites, a lot of people fail to look at the <em>bigger picture</em>. You can keep each piece of your traffic system simple, but when they combine, you have an EXTREMELY deadly force.</p>
<p>Let me show you a traffic strategy we have in place for one of our websites. It should give you some context what we&#8217;re talking about when we say &#8220;strategic internet marketing&#8221;&#8230;</p>
<p>We have <a href="http://freebusinessmodel.com">FreeBusinessModel.com</a>, which is a reverse squeeze page. We deliver a high quality video on the front-end which &#8220;hooks&#8221; in our visitors and convinces them to enter their name and e-mail address to watch a second video.</p>
<p>After they watch our second video, they are redirected to <a href="http://simplecashblog.com">SimpleCashBlog.com</a>, our $27 per month membership that gives away a wealth of business models. So, we immediately have the potential to make money from the traffic that we drive to FreeBusinessModel.com.</p>
<p>That means we can spend more money investing in driving traffic to that funnel. So, we hire out people to write articles and create videos for us, linking to FreeBusinessModel.com, and also advertise that site.</p>
<p>Cool, right? </p>
<p>Well, that&#8217;s not even the half of it. Here&#8217;s where it gets <em>really</em> good&#8230;</p>
<p>After someone opts in to our lists from watching the free video on FreeBusinessModel.com, we then send messages to them promoting not only Simple Cash Blog, BUT&#8230;</p>
<p>The ability to <strong>promote</strong> FreeBusinessModel.com and make money online from it. If you&#8217;re not following, we have an affiliate program built in to FreeBusinessModel.com, which means everytime that someone sends traffic to that site with an affiliate link that they create, they make a monthly commission from Simple Cash Blog (70% of the sale, to be exact.)</p>
<p>So, the more people that watch the videos at FreeBusinessModel.com and opt-in, the more traffic we get going to that site.</p>
<p>Are you following? &#8212; <strong>IT GROWS ITSELF!</strong></p>
<p>Now *that* is strategic internet marketing. <strong>It&#8217;s not complicated to setup, it&#8217;s a bunch of extremely basic &#8220;building blocks&#8221; combined together to make one seriously kick-ass system.</strong></p>
<p>That system will continue to churn money for us for years. <em>We won&#8217;t be able to stop it even if we wanted to.</em></p>
<p>So, do you &#8220;do&#8221; strategic internet marketing like us? All it takes is a good idea and a few minutes of combining a few simple systems and you could have all of the traffic and cash flowing in that you can handle.</p>
<p>Check out <a href="http://freebusinessmodel.com">FreeBusinessModel.com</a> and see how our system works for yourself&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No matter what your skill level, <strong>it&#8217;s completely possible to make money online from anywhere in the world. </strong>This blog post will enable ANYONE in the world to make money on the internet. Plus, it doesn&#8217;t cost you a single penny to implement.</p>
<p><em>Note:</em> I could easily add some &#8220;fluff&#8221; to this or turn it into a video and sell it for $47 or more, but I&#8217;m tired of people saying that they can&#8217;t make money online. Follow the advice in this post, <strong>print it out</strong>, and consistently follow through with it. It will make a huge difference in your life.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m actually going to reveal one of my niches that I&#8217;ve used to make easy money online&#8230;I won&#8217;t give the exact site, but I do reveal the exact niche below. (It&#8217;s the example.) Why am I telling you this? Well&#8230;</p>
<p>While my website is only partially completed, it&#8217;s gotten ranked in Google for a few great keywords with VERY little work and it has made me a small, steady income on autopilot. If I had actually &#8220;followed through&#8221; with this particular website, I&#8217;d make a LOT more money&#8230;but there&#8217;s only so much time in the day.</p>
<p>(The lesson here is to FOCUS on the method below. Follow through with one website before moving on to the next.)</p>
<p>Anyone in the world can use the method below to get your website ranked well in the search engines, which means that you&#8217;ll be getting a lot of website traffic&#8230;and, if you can <a href="http://imsimple.com/how-to-generate-web-site-traffic-the-meta-list/">generate website traffic</a>, that means you can make money with a variety of different methods.</p>
<p><em>Let&#8217;s get started&#8230;</em></p>
<p>This technique is going to have you create a &#8220;niche&#8221; website with unique content. Niche marketing, or creating a niche website to get traffic and then make money from that traffic, is quite possibly the most straight forward way to make money online.</p>
<p>Here are the literal steps that you follow&#8230;</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Step 1.) Pick a niche and do keyword research.</span></strong></p>
<p>Using a free keyword tool such as <a href="http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com">WordTracker&#8217;s Free Keyword Tool</a>, pick a random niche and find some keywords. There are literally an infinite amount of different keywords that you can choose to get started with your website. For this example, we&#8217;re going to use the example of the parenting niche. So, type in parenting into the keyword tool. Parenting is a VERY hot niche, getting more than 34,000 searches per month.</p>
<p>(Don&#8217;t get worried about the term &#8220;niche.&#8221; It simply means &#8220;topic.&#8221; You can pick virtually any topic you want for your website. Do you enjoy pets? Working on cars? Traveling to Las Vegas? The possibilities are endless. <strong>Most topics will enable you to make money online.</strong>)</p>
<p>Of course, when we&#8217;re setting up our website, we don&#8217;t expect to rank highly for the &#8220;parenting&#8221; keyword directly. That is a very long-term goal that you can shoot for, but it&#8217;s certainly not feasible immediately. Instead, we&#8217;re going to be shooting for &#8220;long tail&#8221; keywords, or parenting-related keywords that don&#8217;t have quite as many searches as &#8220;parenting&#8221; itself.</p>
<p>Looking now, there are quite a few good ones&#8230;</p>
<p>Parenting tips<br />
Teenage parenting<br />
Parenting styles<br />
Foster parenting<br />
Parenting advice<br />
Good parenting skills<br />
Effective parenting</p>
<p>ALL of those would be excellent keyword phrases to target for your website. For this example, we&#8217;re going to go after parenting tips.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t worry if you don&#8217;t find a &#8220;good&#8221; niche the first time around that you don&#8217;t think you can write about. <strong>What is most important is that you can write several articles about the topic, and that there are several long tail keywords available. </strong></p>
<p>Why is it important that there are a lot of long tail keywords available?</p>
<p>You&#8217;re going to be writing articles about each of those keywords, targeting that keyword. More information on that later. But, you&#8217;re going to want to make sure you have PLENTY of topics to write about. For parenting, we have all of the topics we listed above, plus&#8230;</p>
<p>Tough love parenting<br />
Spoiled teenagers parenting<br />
Parenting toddler<br />
Rules of good parenting<br />
Parenting quotes<br />
Parenting videos<br />
Parenting plan</p>
<p>&#8230;and MANY more. I&#8217;m not going to list them all, but hopefully you get the point. Find a niche with plenty of various topics to write about.</p>
<p><strong>CAVEAT:</strong> Don&#8217;t get TOO locked up on this part. <strong>Pick a niche, don&#8217;t doubt yourself, then continue.</strong> FOCUS, or you won&#8217;t be able to make money online. Too many people get caught up on this step.</p>
<p>OK, let&#8217;s move on&#8230;</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Step 2.) Find a good name for your new blog.</span></strong></p>
<p>OK, so you have that list of keywords from WordTracker open in front of you, right? What we&#8217;re going to do is go to <a href="http://blogger.com" target="_blank">Blogger.com</a> and create a blog. It&#8217;s 100% free to do so, and from what I know, anyone in the world is eligible to make their own blog (please correct me if I&#8217;m wrong.)</p>
<p>We&#8217;re going to base the name of our blog on the keyword that we&#8217;ve chosen to target. If you recall, that keyword is &#8220;parenting tips.&#8221; So, ideally, we&#8217;d want the name of our blog to be:</p>
<p>http://parentingtips.blogspot.com<br />
or<br />
http://parenting-tips.blogspot.com</p>
<p>Chances are, those are probably taken. So, we can add a word at the front of it to make it unique:</p>
<p>http://bestparentingtips.blogspot.com<br />
http://best-parenting-tips.blogspot.com<br />
http://goodparentingtips.blogspot.com<br />
http://good-parenting-tips.blogspot.com<br />
http://myparentingtips.blogspot.com<br />
http://my-parenting-tips.blogspot.com</p>
<p>&#8230;there are literally 1,000s of other variations you could go with, and most will probably be available. Pick one and go with it. Don&#8217;t worry too much about it, and don&#8217;t get hung up on it. All that is important is that it contains the keyword phrase in the proper order. If we were targeting a keyword phrase such as &#8220;good parenting skills,&#8221; we&#8217;d want to aim for these blog names:</p>
<p>http://goodparentingskills.blogspot.com<br />
http://good-parenting-skills.blogspot.com<br />
http://mygoodparentingskills.blogspot.com<br />
http://my-good-parenting-skills.blogspot.com<br />
http://goodparentingskillsinfo.blogspot.com<br />
http://good-parenting-skills-info.blogspot.com</p>
<p>&#8230;Hopefully you get the idea. Don&#8217;t get too locked up on the name. An exact keyword phrase match is the best, but do NOT get worried if it&#8217;s not available. Just add a short word before or after the name as I show above, and try the dashed names.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> In our personal experience, it doesn&#8217;t matter whether you have a dashed name such as http://parenting-tips.blogspot.com or a &#8220;regular&#8221; name such as http://parentingtips.blogspot.com. Google seems to rank both equally to us, although some folks would disagree with us. You&#8217;ll be able to make money online either way, so don&#8217;t get locked up. <img src='http://imsimple.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>OK, so, let&#8217;s move on to step 3&#8230;</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Step 3.) Write content for your blog.</span></strong></p>
<p>This is the part where most people will fail. It&#8217;s so easy, it just requires consistent work and focus&#8230;yet so few people can truly &#8220;handle&#8221; it. You&#8217;re going to need to spend between <strong>15 and 20 minutes per day</strong> posting new content to your blog.</p>
<p>(Yes, this system takes a little bit of work, but it&#8217;s worth it.<strong> It WILL help you make money online.</strong>)</p>
<p>If you can consistently focus on one blog, making one keyword-optimized posting to it every day, you&#8217;re going to attract the attention of the search engines, generate web site traffic, then be able to use that traffic to make money online by selling advertisements, using Google AdSense, or as an affiliate marketer. We&#8217;ll discuss that in just a bit, don&#8217;t worry.</p>
<p>First, let&#8217;s talk about what kind of content, specifically, you should be writing for your blog.</p>
<p>Once again, we go back to our keyword list&#8230; <img src='http://imsimple.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>You&#8217;re going to write an article, every day, revolving directly around one of the keywords that you found. </strong>Some of the keywords won&#8217;t make sense&#8230;that&#8217;s fine. You won&#8217;t want to write about those. But, as mentioned above, there are several different articles you can create using the keywords above.</p>
<p><strong>Each of your articles need to meet the following criteria:</strong></p>
<p>* the title should be the EXACT keyword phrase<br />
* your article should be between 400 and 700 words long and should contain the exact keyword between 3 and 4 times, depending on the length of your article<br />
* the exact keyword needs to appear in the first 50 words and the last 50 words of the article<br />
* should contain 100% useful information that visitors would appreciate reading and builds credibility</p>
<p>&#8230;that&#8217;s all you need to do. Post one article, <strong>every day</strong> (or, <em>at the very least,</em> AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE) and you&#8217;ll be able to start generating traffic and then you&#8217;ll be able to make money online by monetizing the traffic. Of course, you need to get the ball rolling for the traffic to start flowing though.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Step 4.) Build links and get traffic to your site</strong></span></p>
<p>Once you&#8217;ve started to write several articles for your blog, it&#8217;s time to start getting your site noticed by the world. <strong>The way to do this is with high-quality, one-way backlinks.</strong></p>
<p>Many people get hung up on this part and think they need to buy backlinks, but you can get several backlinks for free. Here&#8217;s just a few free methods. Feel free to &#8220;mix and match,&#8221; you don&#8217;t need to use all of them&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>1.) Go to <a href="http://answers.yahoo.com" target="_blank">Yahoo Answers</a>, </strong>find 1-2 open questions related to your niche (use the &#8220;advanced&#8221; feature to search only for open questions) and post an answer. Use your website as a source for the information. Make sure your answers are high quality, not just cut and paste from your website.</p>
<p>If you do this once per day, you&#8217;ll have a ton of great backlinks directly from a reputable site. Plus, it takes only a couple minutes at most to post an answer.</p>
<p><strong>2.) Go to a related blog and post</strong> a highly relevant, high quality comment on one of the posts. Post good content and a good response to whatever blog post that you&#8217;re commenting on, with a link back to your website.</p>
<p><em>Here&#8217;s a tip:</em> Most blogs are setup so you comment using your name, URL and then the comment itself. Often, your name becomes hyperlinked and goes back to your site. To make your link more &#8220;relevant&#8221; from Google&#8217;s perspective, you should instead list your &#8220;name&#8221; as the name of your website.</p>
<p>So, for example, if we were commenting on a blog and our site was parentingstips.blogspot.com, then I would have &#8220;Parenting Tips&#8221; be my name. You&#8217;ll want to change it up&#8230;sometimes you might want to use &#8220;Good Parenting Tips&#8221; as your name, for example. Just post using a bunch of different &#8220;names&#8221; that are actually keywords and you&#8217;ll build plenty of highly relevant backlinks.</p>
<p><strong>3.) Create a <a href="http://squidoo.com" target="_blank">Squidoo</a> lens</strong> and optimize it the same way you optimized your blog. Try to get your lens name to be http://squidoo.com/parentingtips or http://squidoo.com/parenting-tips/, for example. Put a bit of content on the lens, which you can steal from your own website. Just take an article or two from your website, re-write it a bit (takes 5 minutes or less) and then put it on the lens and link back to your site.</p>
<p><strong>4.) Create another free blog on <a href="http://wordpress.com" target="_blank">WordPress.com</a></strong> and point it back to your own site. You only need a couple high quality posts and then have them point back to your main website.</p>
<p><strong>5.) Submit articles to our 3 main article directories:</strong> <a href="http://ezinearticles.com" target="_blank">EzineArticles</a>, <a href="http://goarticles.com" target="_blank">GoArticles</a> and <a href="http://searchwarp.com" target="_blank">SearchWarp</a>. They should be keyword optimized, just like the posts you did for your blog. You can write about the same topics, but the articles do need to be unique. You should use the author bio box to point to your website.</p>
<p><strong>6.) Post your articles on Digg.com.</strong> Even if you don&#8217;t get many Diggs for your articles, linking to your site from Digg helps increase your link popularity.</p>
<p><strong>7.) Submit your website to <a href="http://dmoz.org" target="_blank">DMOZ.org</a>.</strong> It will take a while to get listed, but it&#8217;s a very strong backlink to your website. Note: your site must be high quality for them to accept it.</p>
<p><strong>8.) Create a press release for your site.</strong> Using a press release service such as <a href="http://prweb.com" target="_blank">PRweb.com</a>, you can submit a press release to all of the search engines for only $19. (Note: We are not affiliated with PRweb and don&#8217;t make any money when you submit a press release. It&#8217;s just worked out really well for us.)</p>
<p>This has gotten us a lot of high quality backlinks, but does cost a little bit of money. You can also submit a press release to many free press release sites.</p>
<p><strong>9.) Use <a href="http://stumbleupon.com/" target="_blank">StumbleUpon</a> to stumble your website.</strong> It will help increase link popularity a bit, and also give you some direct visitors.</p>
<p>There are literally 100s of other ways to build links to your site, but the ones above are some of the easiest and most popular ways. After you get several backlinks, your site will slowly start to get indexed and appear in Google. After 30 to 60 days, you should start to see consistent, growing traffic to your website.</p>
<p>To track how much traffic you have, use a free service such as <a href="http://statcounter.com" target="_blank">StatCounter</a> or <a href="http://analytics.google.com" target="_blank">Google Analytics</a> and paste the code into your blog. This is easy to do by going into the blog&#8217;s editor. Don&#8217;t be intimidated by the code. Scroll down to the bottom of the editor&#8217;s page and paste in the code that StatCounter provides you. Then, you&#8217;ll be able to see how many visitors you&#8217;re getting and from what places!</p>
<p>OK, so, you have a solid, established blog that you post to as often as you can. What&#8217;s next?&#8230;</p>
<p>Making the money!</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Step 5.) Make money online by using Google AdSense and affiliate programs.</span></strong></p>
<p>Using Blogger, it&#8217;s extremely easy to put Google AdSense into your blog. Immediately after putting it in, you&#8217;ll start making anywhere from a few pennies to a dollar or two per click. It&#8217;s not much, but with a site with high traffic, it can add up and bring you a nice side income.</p>
<p><em>Note: </em>Do NOT click on the ads yourself&#8230;Google will ban you.</p>
<p>The other way you can use to make money is by putting other people&#8217;s products on your blog. Using an affiliate program, people will pay you a commission (anywhere from 5% to 75%, depending on the product) for every sale that comes from a person from your website. It&#8217;s very easy to setup.</p>
<p>There are several affiliate marketplaces, but the one we&#8217;ll go with is Clickbank. They&#8217;re a digital retailer that sell other people&#8217;s information products. <strong>You can often sell products on the <a href="http://www.clickbank.com/marketplace.htm" target="_blank">Clickbank marketplace</a> and earn 50-75% of the profit.</strong></p>
<p>Go to Clickbank&#8217;s Marketplace to take a look at all the various products available&#8230;weight loss, make money online, muscle building, health, gambling&#8230;just about any niche you can think of.</p>
<p>Go ahead and search for your own niche. We&#8217;ll continue with our &#8220;parenting&#8221; example, and search for that. Looks like there are quite a few products. You&#8217;ll typically want to pick one near the top of Clickbank&#8217;s list&#8230;they&#8217;re the highest converting products, which means that more visitors that you send to them will be buyers. Here&#8217;s the top 3 that popped up for me:</p>
<p>My Out-Of-Control Teen.  Audio/Video EBook(R) Plus Online Parent-Coaching For Parents With Out-of-Control Teens.<br />
$/sale: $19.32 | Future $: &#8211; | Total $/sale: $19.32 | %/sale: 75.0% | %refd: 25.0% | grav: 19.38</p>
<p>PC Tattletale &#8211; Parental Control Software. Parental Control Software Pays 51% + Annual Recurring Commission. Earn $25.47 Per Sale On PC Tattletale Software. Help Parents Keep Their Kids Safe Online And Get Paid To Do It. Affiliate Promo Material &amp; High Conversion Rates For The Industry.<br />
$/sale: $22.91 | Future $: &#8211; | Total $/sale: $22.91 | %/sale: 51.0% | %refd: 35.0% | grav: 17.16</p>
<p>Making Math More Fun &#8211; Math Games Package. Fun Math Games For School Or Homeschool Education &#8211; Printable Board Games, Card Games And Game Sheets For Children. Educational Games Ready For You To Print And Play. Makes Math Fun And Easy. Kids, Teachers And Parents All Love These Fun Math Games.<br />
$/sale: $11.91 | Future $: &#8211; | Total $/sale: $11.91 | %/sale: 50.0% | %refd: 49.0% | grav: 10.23</p>
<p>All 3 are pretty solid options, but I think it&#8217;d probably be best to stick with the first two in order to monetize &#8220;parenting tips&#8221; properly. We don&#8217;t know if their kids are being homeschooled, but you could eventually expand your blog to include some home schooling tips and products.</p>
<p>So, let&#8217;s just go with the first 2. First, though, <strong>we need to sign up with Clickbank as an affiliate.</strong> This is 100% free to do. I&#8217;m not 100% sure, but I don&#8217;t think everyone in the world can use Clickbank, so some people will need to stick with Google AdSense. You&#8217;ll still be able to make considerable amounts of money, even if that&#8217;s the case, so don&#8217;t worry.</p>
<p>When you sign up with Clickbank, you choose a &#8220;nickname.&#8221; We simply plugin our Clickbank username into the affiliate link that Clickbank provides. So, for example&#8230;</p>
<p>Our Clickbank nickname is &#8220;rhodesbros.&#8221; So, to promote &#8220;My Out-Of-Control Teen,&#8221; our link would be:</p>
<p>http://rhodesbros.drake333.hop.clickbank.net/</p>
<p>To promote &#8220;PC Tattletale,&#8221; our link would be:</p>
<p>http://rhodesbros.cybersam.hop.clickbank.net/</p>
<p>To create those links, you just need to click the &#8220;create hoplink&#8221; link below the description of the product in Clickbank&#8217;s marketplace. It should look very similar to the ones I listed above.<strong> Be sure to test them after you create them!</strong></p>
<p>What you&#8217;re going to do, is go back to each individual post on your blog, choose one from your list of products that &#8220;fits&#8221; in the best with the topic you&#8217;re writing about for that post, then put a one-line link at the end.</p>
<p>So, for example&#8230;for our imaginary &#8220;parenting tips&#8221; blog, if we had a post about parenting security tips, then we&#8217;d probably want to post a short blurb at the end of that post with something like:</p>
<p>&#8220;Want to make sure your kids are safe online? Click here now to visit PC Tattletale. It&#8217;ll tell you exactly what your children are doing online, so you can make sure they&#8217;re safe!&#8221;</p>
<p>Another example&#8230;</p>
<p>If you had a post on your blog about teenage parenting tips, at the end of the post, you could add a blurb such as:</p>
<p>&#8220;Is your teen out of control? We have some more tips to help you tame your teenager. Click here to learn more and for a great report that will help you out.&#8221;</p>
<p>Then, you simply hyperlink part of that sentence (at least the &#8220;click here&#8221; part) to your affiliate link that you created before.</p>
<p>Something important to note here&#8230;do NOT &#8220;force&#8221; a product into a blog posting. If you don&#8217;t have a product that makes sense for a particular blog posting, you could instead link to another blog posting at the end of it.</p>
<p><strong>Secret tip:</strong> Always link somewhere at the end of your blog postings&#8230;give your visitors somewhere to go and encourage them to keep reading! You could even create a list like this to post at the end of some of your blog postings:</p>
<p>&#8220;To read more Parenting Tips, click one of these links:</p>
<p>Effective Parenting<br />
Teenage Parenting Tips<br />
Child Parenting Tips&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8230;and, of course, each of those points to a different place on your blog. <strong>(This also increases your ranking with Google <em>if</em> you don&#8217;t overdo it.)</strong></p>
<p>&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>If you follow this step-by-step checklist, you WILL make money online.</strong> You cannot fail. You can even repeat the process over and over again&#8230;but, I HIGHLY suggest you first start out with one blog and make it profitable for yourself.</p>
<p>Some people have what it takes to make money on the internet, and some people don&#8217;t. It&#8217;s just a matter of pressing on when you&#8217;re discouraged. You&#8217;re constantly going to be facing an uphill battle&#8230;some people give up after 3 or 4 weeks and no money in their pocket, but others hold out and keep following the instructions above&#8230;<em>then the money starts pouring in.</em></p>
<p><strong>It truly is a &#8220;no-fail&#8221; system. It takes work, but anyone willing to put the time in WILL succeed.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you want to know how to succeed in 2009 then you&#8217;ve come to the right place. I&#8217;m going to give you a simple plan to follow. If you do a little work then you&#8217;ll be pulling down more cash than ever before.</p>
<p>First, I want you to know that you can succeed. Many people laugh when I tell them that can generate $1,000,000 in less than 5 years. In fact, you can do it in less than 4 years if you&#8217;re aggressive:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://imsimple.com/one-million-dollars/">One Million Dollars</a></li>
</ul>
<p>I wish that every online marketer would read that posting. You do not have to follow the plan I&#8217;ve outlined. But, you do need inspiration and faith. You need to understand it can be done with effort and just a little time.  (5 years is just over 1,800 days. That&#8217;s easy.)</p>
<p>Second, you need to realize that business opportunities are all around you. <a href="http://imsimple.com/are-you-blind-to-business-opportunties/">Don&#8217;t be blind to business opportunities</a> like so many other people.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re reading this blog posting you&#8217;re probably already generating at least a few bucks online. If you are, what have you done about it? I strongly suggest that you make a couple of minor changes. You can succeed in 2009 simply by applying some focus.</p>
<p>I recommend you look into the <strong><a href="http://10xMethod.com">10x Method</a></strong> immediately if you are making any money online. </p>
<p>Quickly frankly, if you are pulling down cash right now, you&#8217;ve got a potential cash cow ready for milking. The 10x Method explains everything and it&#8217;s free. As &#8220;they&#8221; say it&#8217;s risk free.</p>
<p>Third, you need to form a solid plan that is going to work for you. I strongly urge you follow a business model. What I mean is that you need to avoid trying to exploit little tricks. You need to stop chasing fads and silly trends. </p>
<p>There are real BUSINESS models out there for you to follow. That&#8217;s how to grow and make real money online. You might need some inspiration. So, here are a few places you can start:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://freebusinessmodel.com">FreeBusinessModel.com</a> &#8212; Autopilot memberships are explained</li>
<li><a href="http://ReallySimpleMethod.com">Really Simple Method</a> &#8212; An easy way to make money online</li>
<li><a href="http://imsimple.com/internet-marketing-affiliate-programs/">Join an Internet Marketing Affiliate Program</a> &#8212; Doesn&#8217;t take much work</li>
</ul>
<p>Those are just some ideas. You can set up a membership. You can <a href="http://PLRexploitation.com">exploit private label rights</a>. You can do article marketing. You can <a href="http://imsimple.com/cb/">become an affiliate</a>. There is so much you can do.</p>
<p>But don&#8217;t get distracted because lack of focus will kill your chances at success. Focus is key. Having a plan with a solid business model is essential. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href='http://imsimple.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/make-it-easy.gif'><img src="http://imsimple.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/make-it-easy.gif" alt="Make It Easy" title="make-it-easy" width="225" height="206" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-188" /></a>If you want to make money you need to know <strong>how to make it easy</strong> for people to help you. <em>It&#8217;s very difficult to build a strong business without getting some assistance from others</em>. </p>
<p>In this article, I&#8217;ll show you exactly how to make it easy to get people to help you. First, I&#8217;ll talk about setting up <strong>affiliate support web pages</strong>. Second, I&#8217;ll talk about getting traffic to your niche web site or blog. Third, I&#8217;ll explain the importance of back scratching and helping other people ahead of time.</p>
<p>One of the best ways to make money online and drive traffic is to enlist the help of affiliate marketers. <a href="http://imsimple.com/internet-marketing-affiliate-programs/">Internet marketing affiliate programs</a> can lead to incredible traffic if you offer 100% commissions on big ticket products and services, which is exactly what we do with the <a href="http://10xmethod.com/secretlink.php">10x Method affiliate program</a>. What affiliate marketer doesn&#8217;t want to promote a $47 product with 100% commissions? </p>
<p>But wait, you&#8217;re only going to get affiliates to promote your service if you <em>make it easy</em>. So, you need to take the time to provide easy affiliate link building tools, instant marketing set up tools, targeted keyword lists, free promotional images, email message templates, and so on. </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the Rhodes Brothers <a href="http://imsimple.com/cb/"><strong>affiliate product link creation page</strong></a>. As you can see, we make it easy to create links but also quickly access the sales pages. This is the kind of at-a-glance reference affiliates want. </p>
<p>As another reference, you should look at the <a href="http://trafficdrill.com/resellers/">Traffic Drill reseller sign up page</a>. On that page, we explain reselling, we explain the benefits of being a Traffic Drill reseller, we explain the set process using simple language, and most important we make it easy to make money as a reseller. We maintain everything from the sales page to the sign up page to the member maintenance. Literally, we give you the power to own a membership <em>without any hassle</em>. </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s another example. I like how <strong><a href="http://imsimple.com/kevin-riley/">Kevin Riley</a></strong> does affiliate marketing because he spends money on tools and processes that make my life easier. We don&#8217;t promote for many people, but Kevin makes it easy. For example, when he sends out emails to his affiliates he includes their specific affiliate URLs. I do a simple cut-n-paste and I&#8217;m done. There&#8217;s no effort and very little thinking, except for the marketing. I can focus and make money because <em>it&#8217;s easy to work with Kevin</em>. </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a bit of business advice. If you&#8217;re serious about getting affiliates to help you, then spend the time and money to make it simple and <strong>make it easy for others to help you</strong>. The less &#8220;friction&#8221; you generate the better. </p>
<p><strong><em>Bonus!</em></strong> If you&#8217;ve read this far I want to give you a gift. Please download <strong><a href="http://imsimple.com/20adaywithfreeblogs.pdf">Cracking The Code: Earn $20 Per Day With Free Blogs</a></strong> &#8212; Did you notice how easy I made that for you? It&#8217;s a simple click and you benefit without any more effort. The more you can do like that, the more loyalty and goodwill you&#8217;ll generate. This is the power of making life easy for others.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s change gears now and talk about generating traffic to your niche web sites and blogs. What I&#8217;m going to cover is simple but effective. <strong>Don&#8217;t be fooled by how easy these things are to do.</strong> </p>
<p>If you look above, you will see that I talk about <a href="http://imsimple.com/kevin-riley/">Kevin Riley</a> for an entire paragraph (lucky guy). I&#8217;m doing that because now Kevin might link to me or help me. I would never demand traffic or links from Kevin, but I will ask very nicely. I&#8217;ll send him a note or I&#8217;ll send him a direct message on Twitter. (Hey, are <em>you</em> <a href="http://twitter.com/webword">Following me on Twitter</a>?) If I&#8217;m lucky, I&#8217;ll get some link love which translates to short and long term traffic. </p>
<p>Another thing you can do to easily drive traffic is <strong>build relationships</strong> with others via JVs and giveaways. Here&#8217;s an example. I did 90% of the work on the <a href="http://simplegiveaway.com">Simple Giveaway</a>. I bought the domain, set up the page, and emailed everyone about everything. I coordinated the launch and I made it easy for my partners to do business with me. I was rewarded with <strong>tons of traffic</strong> and hundreds of sign ups to <a href="http://freebusinessmodel.com/">Free Business Model</a>. </p>
<p>How else can you help others help you? Well, if you have a blog, do you have web 2.0 social bookmarking widgets installed? (<em>Hint:</em> I like <a href="http://yoast.com/wordpress/sociable/">Sociable</a>.) At the bottom of this blog posting there are several buttons you can click to Digg, Stumble and otherwise bookmark this posting. (Please take action. Click-n-save!) </p>
<p>The last thing I&#8217;ll talk about is back scratching, both formal and informal. I&#8217;ll also talk about helping people ahead of time. </p>
<p>So, what&#8217;s formal back scratching? The idea is simple. You work within a membership or system with a group of other like-minded people. For example, maybe you work with the <a href="http://imsimple.com/about/">Rhodes Brothers</a> via our <a href="http://imsimple.com/rhodes-brothers-services/">coaching program</a>. You can also find that kind of support inside <strong><a href="http://TrafficDrill.com">Traffic Drill</a></strong>, which is dedicated to driving traffic to your web site. Plainly speaking, the idea is that you pay a small fee to help other people and have them help you. <strong>It&#8217;s simple but deadly effective</strong>.</p>
<p>Now, how about informal back scratching? The concept is straightforward. You would go out of your way to help other people via social web sites like <a href="http://twitter.com/webword">Twitter</a>. For example, just today I asked about 7-8 trusted Twitter colleagues to take a look at a new blog entry I wrote in a special niche. If they like the page and it&#8217;s valuable, they will likely Stumble or Digg that page. If it&#8217;s not good, they&#8217;ll give me feedback so I can improve it. Importantly, I make it easy to Stumble and Digg, but also provide me with <em>feedback via Twitter</em>. That&#8217;s key.</p>
<p>What works better, formal back scratching or informal back scratching? Honestly, they both work well. However, if you&#8217;re looking for guaranteed help or traffic, then services like <a href="http://TrafficDrill.com">Traffic Drill</a> are your best bet.  </p>
<p>What I want you to understand is that you will build up <strong>goodwill</strong> and <strong>karma</strong> over time if you know how to make it easy for other people to make money. Think about it. If someone is making it <strong>easy for you to make money</strong>, you&#8217;ll be loyal. You&#8217;ll drive traffic for them. You&#8217;ll praise them and help them. This karma and goodwill leads to joint ventures and revenue multipliers. </p>
<p>Do good unto others and it will return to you many times. It&#8217;s not only the &#8220;right thing&#8221; it&#8217;s the way of profits and a satisfying life.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href='http://imsimple.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/financial-crisis.jpg'><img src="http://imsimple.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/financial-crisis.jpg" alt="Financial Crisis" title="Survive Stock Market Crash" width="200" height="200" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-165" /></a> If you want to know how to survive a financial crisis then you&#8217;ve come to the right place. Before I give you the secret I want to share a story with you.</p>
<p>This morning I went to the dentist to have my teeth cleaned. Of course I only saw the dentist for a few minutes. The rest of my time was spent with Gerry, the hygienist. She&#8217;s a great woman and loves to talk.</p>
<p>Before I knew it, we were talking to about the <a href="http://news.google.com/news?&#038;q=financial+crisis">financial crisis</a> and she was asking me how to get through it. I started talking about <em>index funds, balancing your portfolio, regression to the mean, no load mutual funds, FDIC, and more</em>. Then there was a deer-in-headlights look and I felt bad. At that moment I realized that she was very afraid. </p>
<p>Then something amazing happened. She asked if I would look at all her investment portfolio; Gerry was heading to &#8220;her guy&#8221; later in the day so the documentation was out in her car. She literally ran to her car and grabbed her IRA and investment information for me to look at. (It&#8217;s true!)</p>
<p><strong>It&#8217;s astounding what people will do during a financial crisis</strong>. Fear is a powerful driver. Losing a huge chunk of your retirement in 2-3 days is painful. Fear and pain also drives unusual decisions, like people sharing intimate financial details with each other.</p>
<p>I told you this crisis story because it sets the stage for how I feel about it all. Like many people, I have a balanced portfolio, personal savings accounts, bonds, and more. And, like you, I care about my financial situation and the shocks in the stock market.</p>
<p>But &#8211;</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not as worried as most people. I&#8217;m going to share a secret with you. It&#8217;s something that will reward you forever if you really take it to heart and take action.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m very calm these days because I know that I can sell. <strong>Yes, I&#8217;m a salesman</strong>. This is very powerful and drives peace and harmony with my personal finances. </p>
<p><em>If you can sell, you can always survive</em>. If you can sell, you can lose all of your money and still pull down cash and feed your family and pay the mortgage. </p>
<p>&#8220;But I don&#8217;t like to sell!&#8221;</p>
<p>I hear you and I understand. If you don&#8217;t like selling, then first I have to say that you probably don&#8217;t understand selling. It&#8217;s not as dirty as you might think. Selling, when done right, is simply giving people what they want for a fair price. It&#8217;s as easy as a conversation. (It&#8217;s true.)</p>
<p>But there&#8217;s another piece of this secret. The second part of my advice is that <strong>you need to start your own business</strong>. If you run your own business then you can survive any financial turmoil as long as all your money isn&#8217;t tied up in the stock market. It shouldn&#8217;t be!</p>
<p>When you own your own business you are completely in control. You can&#8217;t control the market or your customers, but you can survive dark times. In fact, when things are grim you are best positioned to strike out on your own. That point is worthy of it&#8217;s own blog posting but it&#8217;s true. You can take that to the bank.</p>
<p>So, in short, if you want to make it through tough financial times then you need to sell. You need to <strong>embrace the power of marketing</strong>. If you don&#8217;t know how, start learning today. Secondly, start your own business and <a href="http://10xmethod.com/">focus on sales</a>. Be sure that those sales translate to profits, not just pure revenue. Make money and grow.</p>
<p><strong>Need more help?</strong></p>
<p>Here is some specific advice on how to make money online with internet marketing. You can easily start selling for high profits today.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong><a href="http://plrexploitation.com">Exploit the PLR on your computer</a></strong></li>
<p> &#8212; In short, you can use the PLR on your computer to make money quickly and easily. You can <a href="http://simpleplrclub.com/">re-write and brand PLR reports</a> and sell them in many different ways. </p>
<li><strong><a href="http://freebusinessmodel.com/">Create a membership site</a></strong></li>
<p> &#8212; In less than 2 hours you can set up a membership site and start making money. It&#8217;s easy to survive a stock market drop if you&#8217;re pulling down $1,000 each week through your own membership.</p>
<li><strong><a href="http://simplecashblog.com">Follow proven business models</a></strong></li>
<p> &#8212; Join a low cost membership which gives you free ebooks and proven business models. Also, look for memberships, clubs, and coaches who can help you generate cash quickly and easily. </p>
<li><strong><a href="http://imsimple.com/cb/">Simply drive web traffic to earn cash</a></strong></li>
<p> &#8212; If you can find high quality affiliate programs you can make money just by putting customers in touch with people who have great products and services. If you don&#8217;t like selling, consider the affiliate path.</p>
<p>Think about what you want out of life. The only way you can really get what you want is to be in business for yourself. You can get started today. </p>
<p>Don&#8217;t depend on big, greedy, soulless corporations to keep you floating. <strong>Take charge and brush off any financial crisis.</strong> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href='http://imsimple.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/scotch-tape-roll.gif'><img src="http://imsimple.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/scotch-tape-roll.gif" alt="Stick With What Works" title="Scotch Tape Roll" width="225" height="176" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-171" /></a><strong>Why should you stick with what works?</strong> <em>What does that even mean? </em></p>
<p>We spend a good chunk of time explaining the importance of focus in our (free) 20-minute <a href="http://10xMethod.com">10x Method video</a>. The reason for spending so much time on focus is that most people struggle to stick to one thing.</p>
<p>Most folks are looking for <strong>fast and easy money</strong>. </p>
<p>But the truth is that making money usually takes a lot of time. So, when you find something that actually works, you need to stick to it. </p>
<p>Remember, most people aren&#8217;t making <em>any</em> money online. And, they don&#8217;t stick to one method of generating income &#8212; even when that method clearly works. Once again, this is because most folks think they should be pulling down more cash. (Read between the lines: Greed!)</p>
<p>The irony is that when you stick to one way of making money &#8212; once you know it works &#8212; you can pull down even more money. This is because of these three reasons:</p>
<ol>
<li>It&#8217;s easier to retain customers (low cost)</li>
<li>You get more efficient with your tasks</li>
<li>You can leverage your products and skills</li>
</ol>
<p>In a nutshell, <strong>it&#8217;s cheap to sell to existing customers</strong> compared to winning new customers. Furthermore, you get good at what you do. You might even become a guru, worth your weight in gold on some topic. And lastly, you can <strong>bundle products together</strong> if you stay focused in your domain. You can also sell updated versions of your product. They are easier to create than ones that are fresh and 100% new. </p>
<p>So, once you are done trying a million things, please be sure to settle down and focus. Again, I&#8217;ll recommend the <a href="http://10xMethod.com">10x Method video</a> because it not only explains the true value of focus but I also give you some concrete ideas on how to get started immediately. (Zero cost, zero risk.)</p>

It&#8217;s a 20 minute video that explains exactly how to make money online using many different internet marketing techniques. </p>
<p>What&#8217;s beautiful is that it works for anyone. This is because the 10x Method encourages you to find what works for you. You can go from one project to the next but still make money. You can try many different things and succeed &#8212; affiliate marketing, product launches, <a href="http://simpleplrclub.com/">private label rights</a>, article marketing, <a href="http://freebusinessmodel.com/">memberships</a>, and anything else. Once you find what works, you stick with it and make 10 times the amount of money. </p>
<p>I want to help you learn about the 10x Method. Instead of trying to explain it more or promote it myself, I want you to see what other people are saying about it. This blog posting reveals several 10x Method reviews. </p>
<p><strong>SECRET LINK:</strong> <strong><a href="http://forum.abestweb.com/showthread.php?t=108688">100% Commissions of $47 Product with &#8220;10x Method&#8221;</a></strong> (<em>Highly Recommended</em>)</p>
<p><strong>Read the reviews&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.squidoo.com/The10xMethod">The 10x Method Article Cash Machine System</a> &#8212; &#8220;Have you ever feel lost when you want to make money online? You don&#8217;t have to worry since most people always get lost and by applying the 10xMethod strategy, you will never ever get lost again.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://make-lots-of-money-fast.com/2008/07/10x-method-review/">10x Method Review</a> &#8212; &#8220;The 10x Method is incredibly simple in its technique but I believe it’s going to be a breakthrough moment for many people still struggling to make a steady income on the internet. Why? Because it tackles the problem of lack of focus head on and uses the habit of bouncing from one money making opportunity to the next. It actually incorporates your lack of focus into the technique with an interesting but simple twist that will have you finally making a steady—and then explosive—income online.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.squidoo.com/13WaysToMakeMoneyOnTheInternet">13 Sure Fire Ways To Make Money On The Internet</a> &#8212; &#8220;The truth is you can make any kind of sale and money if you know the right way. Try The 10x Method Article Cash Machine System and you can easily earn $1000 per month for every month without fail just by spending 1 hour of your time every day.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?The-10x-Method-Review&#038;id=1393160">The 10x Method Review</a> &#8212; &#8220;The 10x Method is unbelievably simple. The Rhodes Brothers do not advocate any particular program. They simply show you how to keep it simple. By keeping it simple, you are focused and dedicated. This is cutting age because, the bane of most beginning and even intermediate marketers in the problem of floating from one project to another because the gurus say so, and not allowing projects to mature before they embark on the next best thing. They do not choose programs based on what is working and what they like and can do, but on what the gurus suggest. The 10x Method instead, shows you how to take any program that is working for you, be it affiliate marketing or article marketing, it does not matter. You simply take what is working for you, and you scale it up 10 times. Simple!&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.plug-in-4-profit.com/blog/make-money-on-the-internet.html">Using Free Resources to Make Money on the Internet</a> &#8212; &#8220;‘The 10x Method’ by The Rhodes Brothers provides guidance to create a solid business plan for online business. It offers simple detailed systematic guidance, including massive amounts of screenshots. It designed to work with only one hour of (easy) effort per day for 30 days. The report will show you how to work with 100% free resources to build a real business.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>Special Video!</em> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvRKOPPnK0E">Affiliate Internet Marketing Business Online</a> &#8212; &#8220;The 10x Method works because SIMPLE works. All it takes is finding what works for you and use the 10x Method to create huge streams of income, then replicate the process all over again. You don&#8217;t need any new Guru techniques, you don&#8217;t need the latest eBook, you don&#8217;t need any new software tools. Even if you&#8217;ve made little to no money with your online business, you really can implement the 10x Method to either start making a large, steady income or to grow your current income.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src='http://30cats.com/images/internet_marketing.jpg' alt='What is internet Marketing' class='alignleft' />We tell a lot of people that we&#8217;re internet marketers. But, what does that mean exactly? <strong>What is internet marketing?</strong> What do you really need to know?</p>
<p>There are many definitions for internet marketing. Normally I&#8217;d try to simplify things, like I would do for one of my friends or family members. But, I know you&#8217;re interested in internet marketing, and you want some details &#8212; that&#8217;s why you&#8217;re here.</p>
<p>So, I&#8217;ll start with a few simple ideas then I&#8217;ll build up. In many respects, internet marketing is simply another way of saying online marketing, online business, or work-at-home internet business. The core idea is that you&#8217;re using a computer and an internet connection to generate money.</p>
<p><strong>Not Just Work from Home</strong></p>
<p>You don&#8217;t have to work at home to be an internet marketer. Many IM&#8217;ers, as they are called, work for large organizations, marketing companies, and research firms. The central idea is that internet marketers do marketing online, usually in an effort to advertise, pull in buyers, and ultimately sell products and services. </p>
<p>So, here are the two key ideas summarized:</p>
<ul>
<li>Most of the work is done online via the web</li>
<li>Most of the work is marketing and sales related</li>
</ul>
<p>As a quick aside, internet marketing isn&#8217;t only about search engine optimization (SEO), Google Adwords, or any other particular technology. Yes, technology is always in the mix, but internet marketing is more about the tactics, strategies, and methods to do business online. </p>
<p>The bottom line is that you don&#8217;t want to be fooled into thinking that internet marketing is one single thing. It&#8217;s a complex clustering of tools and techniques. And, internet marketers pick and choose what works best for them. Some internet marketers use 1-2 tools whereas others use the full spectrum. There&#8217;s not one secret or special technique which works for all internet marketers. </p>
<p>But, there&#8217;s more&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>It&#8217;s All About Making Money Online</strong></p>
<p>The heart of internet marketing is the set of actions and activities that make money for businesses, online and offline. In other words, when internet marketers talk about internet marketing, they care about one thing: making money.</p>
<p>Now, this might seem obvious, but internet marketers are both extremely focused and easily distracted. They are constantly looking for the Holy Grail of online cash: very little work, very high profits, and freedom.</p>
<p>Internet marketers therefore employ a number of tools and techniques to make money online. To make everything clear, I&#8217;ll provide several examples for you.</p>
<p><strong>7 Internet Marketing Examples</strong></p>
<p><strong><em>eBay</em></strong> &#8212; Many internet marketers have used eBay as their key platform to make money online. Not only can they make money via auctions they can also use eBay to drive traffic to their sites. It&#8217;s also possible to <a href="http://imsimple.com/ebaylistbuilding/">build a customer list with eBay</a>.</p>
<p><strong><em>Article Marketing</em></strong> &#8212; With article marketing the idea is to write articles to make money. The &#8220;trick&#8221; is that you have an author bio box or author resource box. In that author credit box, you include links to your sites (e.g., sales pages, sign up pages, and so on). You can get traffic directly from article directories or from blogs and sites when people syndicate your content. </p>
<p><strong><em>Affiliate Marketing</em></strong> &#8212; The concept of affiliate marketing is that you sell products for other people but you get a commission. Internet marketers often get at least 50% of the profits, but some internet marketers offer 70% commission or more. </p>
<p><strong><em>Pay Per Click (PPC)</em></strong> &#8212; This is a way of driving traffic to a site via advertising. In most cases you bid on &#8220;keywords&#8221; which are the words and phrases people use to find content on search engines. The mother of all PPC systems is Google Adwords. The amount you pay per keyword or key phrase can range from just $0.01 per click through $50 or more. </p>
<p><strong><em>Memberships</em></strong> &#8212; This is a more advanced internet marketing technique. You can set up a membership or club on a topic and then charge customers a fee for access. Usually memberships operate on a monthly basis, i.e., customers pay for access month by month. Although this is typically seen an an advanced online marketing technique, there are ways to set up simple memberships. <a href="http://freebusinessmodel.com/">Autoresponder memberships</a> are a great example of simple yet effective memberships. </p>
<p><strong><em>Offline Marketing</em></strong> &#8212; Internet marketers often make a lot of money by selling their services to small, local businesses. They still use online tactics to drive traffic, encourage people to make a purchase. Internet marketers can <a href="http://offlinecashformula.com/">work with businesses offline</a> on a pay-per-lead basis, setting up web 2.0 and social media tools, and more. </p>
<p><strong><em>Private Label Rights (PLR)</em></strong> &#8212; Private label rights are &#8220;whitelabel&#8221; products, which means that the buyer has near complete control over the product. For example, you can purchase PLR products, do a little re-writing, and call the product your own in many cases. PLR is often affordable and effective. (<em>Highly Recommended:</em> <a href="http://simpleplrclub.com/">Simple PLR Club</a>)</p>
<p><strong>We Keep It Simple</strong></p>
<p>There are many other tools and strategies that comprise internet marketing. Honestly, I&#8217;ve only touched on the surface. I&#8217;ve kept this relatively jargon free and I tried to stay away from concepts like keyword analysis, squeeze pages, conversion ratios, web metrics, and the like. </p>
<p>We encourage people to try many different things but then focus once you see any money flow. Highly Recommended: <a href="http://10xmethod.com/">Watch the free 10x Method video</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>if you want to create a membership site you do not need expensive software. In fact, you can do it using basic tools. </p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t believe me, take a look at the <strong><a href="http://freebusinessmodel.com/">Free Business Model video</a></strong>. In that free video, you&#8217;ll find out that it doesn&#8217;t take more than a PayPal account and an autoresponder.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s right&#8230;</p>
<p>You can fill up an autoresponder then sell access to your high quality emails. The reason is that people are willing to pay for good information. It doesn&#8217;t matter if it comes from a blog or via email. All that matters is that the information flows.</p>
<p>Now, if you want something a bit more sophisticated, you can buy the very affordable <a href="http://imsimple.com/imsc/">Instant Membership Site Creator</a>. </p>
<p>If you want to easily create a memberhship site, it&#8217;s a no brainer. You can password protect pages, create a simple signup form, automatically create unique user IDs and passwords, and even build up your list. The <a href="http://imsimple.com/imsc/">Instant Membership Site Creator</a> makes it deadly simple.</p>
<p>So, those are two simple ways to create membership web sites. It really isn&#8217;t that hard. Even if you&#8217;re just getting started in internet marketing, it can be pretty easy. And imagine how much money you can pull in from members outside of internet marketing. It&#8217;s really quite easy.</p>
<p>Here are a few example membership web sites to get your creative juices flowing:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://simplecashblog.com/">The Simple Cash Blog</a></li>
<li><a href="http://simpleplrclub.com/">The Simple PLR Club</a></li>
<li><a href="http://imsimple.com/icg/">Instant Cash Generators</a></li>
<li><a href="http://imsimple.com/plrnewsletters">PLR Newsletters</a></li>
</ul>
<p>By the way, after you create a membership site, you can create affiliates out of thin air. Well, not literally, but you can really get some folks excited since memberships offer residual income. Affiliates love that. </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the <a href="http://imsimple.com/FBM-JV.php">Simple Cash Blog affiliate program</a> as an example for you. The beauty of this affiliate program is that you don&#8217;t have to sell anything. You just sign up and then send people to a totally free video. The conversions on this are obviously huge. Everyone wins.</p>
<p>So, if you&#8217;re thinking about creating a membership site, you know exactly what to expect. It&#8217;s all about having the right information. It doesn&#8217;t have to be hard. And, it should certainly fill your pockets with cash.</p>
