I think we all cringe and dread when we open our mail box and see that dreaded "Refund Request" in the subject line. And I guess we dread it for a number of reasons. 1. We know that that person got the use of our product and didn't have to pay a cent for it (and it can be a disturbing thought but it does happen? some people are just habitual refunders) 2. Advertising isn't cheap and when you've paid to get that customer in it can feel like a beat around the head when you not only refund the mo More..

Hype! Has The Internet Gone Too Far?

I remember back in the 1980s (history for many of you reading this), I had a friend working at the University of California who had access to the Internet through the University system. It was new, it was esoteric, it was for academicians, nerds, and professional scientists. Another friend, a salesman, pondered the commercial possibilities. "Sales and marketing," my University friend intoned, is "strongly frowned upon" by the Internet community. Fast forward 20 to 25 years. What happened? A s More..

The Power of Viral Marketing

When I first heard of the term Viral Marketing I thought immediately of a virus. No, not the flu, a computer virus. I avoided viral marketing like the plaque. I'm sure many of you are doing the same thing. Every email labeled viral marketing got trashed and I immediately run an anti virus check on my computer. It actually took me long time and the convincing words of a dear friend of mine to change my attitude towards viral marketing. Call it ignorance, but I just didn't have the confidence in More..

Take the Guesswork Out of Niche Marketing

Many of us learn from the Gurus that we should identify a niche and dominate it, so we can make money online. They give us brief glimpses about what is to be done, like identifying a niche market by browsing magazines and hanging around in forums and discussion groups to see if we can be hit by an idea brainwave. Oh how I wish it was that easy. My first attempts at finding a niche made me feel like I've gone deeper into quicksand, and the niche with a great demand had an awful lot of competitio More..

How You Can Acquire Exclusive Rights To Products; Part 1 of 2

If you have a marketing business, chances are you get excited at the prospect of acquiring a new product to sell. One challenge to marketing, especially over the Internet, is the amount of competition. Affiliate programs often create an enormous amount of competitors offering identical products. Experienced marketers realize the benefit and excitement of being the first to make a new product offering of an affiliate product, or even better, their own exclusive product. Suppose you've done your More..

How You Can Acquire Exclusive Rights To Products; Part 2 of 2

The steps to gaining exclusive rights You will need to give valid reasons to the manufacturer as to "why" you should have exclusive rights to his product for your specific niche markets. Don't be in fear of this requirement, believing you must be a fortune 500 company or at least doing millions of dollars per year in sales to be deserving of it. Nothing could be further from the truth. You may be a new Internet marketer with no real sales track record, but you have valid reasons why you believe More..

Gas, Air, and Spark - How Internet Marketing is Like a Cars Engine

I've never been much of an automobile mechanic, but about 25 years ago an old friend instructed me in the mysteries of how to find out why my old car wouldn't run. "You see," he said, "when an engine won't run, it's got to be one of three things. It's not getting enough gas, air, or spark, because that's all an engine really needs." He taught me to check simple things, like pull a spark plug and see if it sparks when the starter turns over. Or pull off the air filter and see if I could smell g More..

Are You Willing To Pay The Price?

Do you believe that there is a price to pay in anything and everything? I do. But I am not necessarily referring to monetary terms. I am not strictly talking about the dollars you hand out when you buy something either. You see, there is a price tag to everything we do. On the Internet, we have many so-called gurus (I do not like using this word but anyway...) telling other people that it takes little or no money to start an Online Business. True. However, what most people fail to see is the p More..

6 Steps to Establish Your Expertise

Like the Internet itself, online marketing resources such as blogs, chat rooms, and user groups are vast and puzzling. On one hand they offer that elusive "promise land" of free and effective marketing. On the other, they embody a "time sink" of astronomical proportions. They have addictive qualities and their effectiveness is measured only by your own self-control. That said, let's briefly describe each opportunity and explore their potential. "Blog" is short for "web log" - an online diary o More..

Physical and Mental Fitness for Internet Marketers

As you may have already read in our article "Health effects of internet marketing", internet marketers are particularly prone to a number of negative health effects due to the long hours and significant effort necessary to develop and maintain an online business.

Online Business Mistakes

Everybody makes mistakes, but nobody likes to talk about them. We feel silly and foolish, even though we could not possibly have known. I know I have made many mistakes during my online business career and it's embarassing! While my rational brain knows it is not really true, my irrational brain thinks that the whole world has seen my mistake and is pointing and laughing at me.

Grab that Browser! The Captive Affiliate Marketing Model

Creating mini-sites that grab your browsers and prime them into buyers If you're familiar with autoresponders this will be simple, but yet many affiliates don't even think of this, and I can understand why - because when you glance over this idea it seems a little over-enthusiastic for making a simple commission based sale. But this is a common flaw in affiliate marketing - we're stuck in this mindset of keeping things as simple as the concept suggests. Affiliate marketing is seen as a two hour More..

Do You Even Realize What Youre Promoting?!

Now, I'm a firm believer in knowing what you're getting yourself into. It's a universal fact of life. I've heard nasty stories of people getting into allsorts of bother, all because they didn't know what they were getting into. Blindly signing contracts, buying dud gear, giving in to the suspicious salesman who "reduces" the price just for today, just for you - these are all examples of looking over the chasm to the opposite cliff edge?and walking. Yeh, ok but what are the consequences of not d More..

Standing Out Head and Shoulders Above the Rest

Using Online Communities to Differentiate Your Website As a young girl I remember how "cool" it was to dress like my friends; we wore our hair the same way, listened to the same music and even talked the same. The message we got was, "It is important to fit in." Today, aspiring to "fit in" in the business world is not the way to get ahead or even get noticed. In order to make our way and to create a name for ourselves as entrepreneurs and business owners, we can't be like our competitors; we h More..

Its a Community Thing!

You have this great website, you have sent out e-mails regarding your services, printed out hundreds of brochures which you have given to friends and relatives, but what you really need is to get people talking about what you offer.

4 Tips to More Online Party Sales

I know most of us have held our own online party, been to one, or at least read about them. Many of the materials online are general, and the average online party (for individuals) has around 5-10 guests at the most. Maybe more, maybe less, depending on several factors. But really for those that do not belong to party groups, and are holding their first party the attendance is going to be very low. After some thought, I realized the way we are holding these parties is wrong. In a previous artic More..

Why Your Talents Alone Arent Getting You Anywhere Online

The bottom line is that there are plenty of really talented people out there who will never be heard from because they don't understand even the most basic principles of marketing.

Automated Selling and Recruiting - A Simple System

Some years ago, on the recommendation of a friend, I visited Amazon.com for the first time. My friend was someone whose judgement I trusted - and I had also heard good things about Amazon from other friends and colleagues. I was certainly impressed with what I saw when I got to the site, it was well laid out, information was clear, prices were good and there was a great range to choose from. But I didn't buy anything - not on that visit. Later on I went back to the site and I am now a regular c More..

Great Ways To Obtain Link Popularity

I hate reciprocal linking. It is such a hassle. Even specialized reciprocal linking sites don't really help all that much. Many of the link requests that I do get are from poker sites that are totally irrelevant to my site's content. Most of the sites that I would like to link to don't respond.

I knew the value of a buck. But when I came online I didn't think that "real world" rules applied. All too often people come onlin More..

Using Autoresponders In Your Online Business

It could lead to future business. The reason for followi More..
