I have discussed email marketing briefly in my last posting. In this posting I will explain and discuss the power behind
article marketing.
Article marketing is by far one of the free ways internet marketters can draw reliable and targeted traffic to teir website.
Some top notch marketters used this system and they are still using it to build an email list of several thousands of people
to their website. You must have heard the saying that the money is in the list. Hence the more subscribers list you have the
more cash will continue to roll in
The question now is how do you start? The best and the most reliable way to go about it is to identify your NICHE. We are
going to discuss what Niche is in my later posting. However, niche is a particular activities that one is passionate about at
doing.
Hence, if you have a subject you are passionate about, write everythin you know about it and submit. If you are not good at
writing, then you may just locate articles on these areas by doing research work using www.google.com and other relate search
engines such as www.lycos.com, altavista.com etc to find important articles.
When you have the articles using search engines, study them, re-write the articles manually from scratch. It should be noted
that if you download an articles and post them to article directories without re-writing them, you stand the chance of being
banned forever from using article directories
These directories management has spent thousands of dollars and are still spending to install powerful software that
automatically detects when one try spaming a particular directory by posting an article that is already in their archives. So
you must post original content.
However, if you do not have the time, strenght and the ability to write articles, you may consider hiring aghost writer from
www.elance.com or www.scriptlance.com. Usually you will be charged about $5 per 400-500 words article.
Meanwhile, if you are not good in any of these, just think of a niche you feel you can do well and re-write articles on them
or better still you can lay you hands on PRL (Private Label Right) articles and re-edit or re-write and post.
From my experience, I personally bought PRL articles, pick topics that I feel I can confortable work on, and then try working
on the topic for about 3-4hours each day manually re-writing these articles.
Finally, you do need to submit your articles to many directories if you need backlinks and search engine traffic to enable
high ranking of your website or squeeze page.
By doing this, you are on your way to building a profitable list of subscribers that will always buy from you whenever there
is a good offers.

Email Marketing: Tips and Tricks
Email Marketing Tips – How to Persuade and Convince Prospects To Buy
If you plan to exceedingly succeed in you online marketing business, the bitter truth that you have to face is that it requires complete selling!
However, it does not require cold or hot calling. It may interest you to know that you are dealing with people that have given you permission to advertise your offers that you have to them.
Meanwhile, the tip is that you need to understand that in order to maximize your profit, your going to need to convince your subscribers to buy you products and the products that you are promoting.
When done properly, that way, you will not offend anyone, and you will help more people to getting what they needed to solve their immediate problem.
Tips and Tricks to Be More Persuasive
Tip 1 – Believe in the products you are promoting.
Let your subscribers know if you truly believe in the product or service you are promoting! Do not shy away from saying “I know that this will help you if you apply it”
Tip 2 - Tell a Short Story
People can’t help but be attracted to a story. Try finding something in your life relating to a particular product or service your promoting that is worth putting a story in you email.
Note: if you can’t think of something right away for that particular product, the make up a fictional story (and tell your readers that it is a fictional)
Some of the best and renowned sellers are also story teller, so you can start mastering the skill now.
Tip 3 – Emphasize on the products benefits, not features
The most important question that will make up part of your email body is for example, Does the course teach list building, or does it show you how to build your own profitable list that will make you money?
Instead of saying what the products does, say what it will do for the reader when applied. That is a benefit rather than a feature.
Tip 4 – Send multiple emails, and follow up emails.
It is uncommon and weird that I will send only one email to promote a product. From my experience, I have come to realize that by sending four emails instead of one, I can easily double my sales.
If you do not send out the other emails and follow up emails to your subscribers in your mailing list then you are missing out on lost sales. Remember that the act is to enable you to make mores sales.
Tip 5 – Use multiple Methods of Contact
Many of the top and best sellers on internet love email marketing and many have used email marketing to rake in millions of dollars. However, if it is all you do then you are losing out sales.
There are several other ways to persuade your readers: You should consider using audio and video on your pages. Teleseminar, bulk SMS, phone etc and even offline marketing (for example sending out direct mail and placing classified advertisement in the pages of newspaper)
If all these methods are used properly, they will increase your relationship with your subscribers and make you more money.
Tip 6 – Consistency is the Key
Whatever you decide to do and achieve, be consistent. If you email once in a week and then decide to email three times in one week, you should not expect positive results.
It is impossible to say what methods are best for each market (e.g should you email daily, weekly, or monthly) you need to test to see which works best for you.
However, once you start doing something, you should stay consistent at it unless you discover a more effective but lucrative idea or method that proof to generate more money.
For those who are just starting out on email, it is better that you already to be delivered over say every 3 days or 7 days. Spread over a minimum of 30 days or maximum of 90 days period.

SET YOUR INCOME GOALS
If you fully intend to achieve your online goals and objective, you should perceive goal setting as an extremely powerful process of personal planning! Goal setting should not be taking slightly because your journey to success starts with the goal setting process.
Your goal is yours and yours entirely to make!
You can use this goal below to set your defined goal now before you continue your quest for internet wealth.
In 3 months, my goal is to be making N …………………. a month.
In 6 months, my goal is to be making N …………………. a month.
In 12 months, my goal is to be making N …………………. a month.
In 2 years, my goal is to be making N …………………. a month.
In 5 years, my goal is to be making N …………………. a month.
I suggest you don’t miss this important step. The very act of typing or writing down your goals is a very important and a strong affirmative action you’ll take. Review your goals from time to time and make adjustment to them based on your progress in your online business.
The secret tips to online business
There are five keys arrears you need to constantly maintain your online business if you want to succeed online.
These arrears include
Product or Services
Lead Generation
Conversion
Administration
Education
Lets treat each point and analyze them briefly.
Product or Services
You must have some sort of information product or service online that a fair amount of people would be interested in to make any money.
You might have a niche that you would like to make money from, like carving wood. However, a niche like that will probably not have a very big market online to sell so this leaves you with a choice to get a profitable niche market that will sell like wild fire. Moreso, the products could even be an affiliate program that you are promoting.
Lead Generation
Being able to contact prospects, customers and buyers anytime you want without spending a fortune in the process is one of the great things about online marketing.
Once you have those leads, you can contact them again and again for practically nothing. It doesn’t even need to take up your own time, you can use autoresponder such as Aweber or Getrespond autoresponder to do the work for you.
Having an email list full of people who are dying to know about your products or services is like having money in the bank. Thus the saying that money is in the list.
Conversion
This is one of those things you ignore along the way, but it sure help. If your website or e-mails are only converting at 1% then that’s ok. It is something you can improve on.
For instance, if you get 100 customers to your website and you have 1% conversion rate, you will only make 1 sale. If you have a conversion rate of 2% you double the amount of sales you get and the amount of money you make without having to get any more lead or traffic or even spending any more money.
Try and get the most out of what you have. It really is the simple and easy things that count and if you do them right. Everything else falls into place.
Administration
This is something I struggled with. People fail to realize that an internet business is just like any other business and needs to be run the same way.
There are bookwork, emails, finances, expenses, just name them. While this might be a mundane task, it needs to be done. If you cannot do it probably because there is no time, hire someone to do it for you.
Education
It has been discovered that anybody willing to embark on internet will have to spend thousands every year on books, tapes, seminars etc in other to get to know the online business pretty well since information is power. You need to be able to keep up with what is happening. Just like a doctor has to read medical journals, you need to keep up to date with the latest marketing techniques and strategies and also news that will affect you in some way.
No one knows all there is to know about running a business online, that is why testing and tracking are very important. As much as reading is important. Just doing something that is worthwhile will make all the difference to your business.
I hope this tips help answering some questions that will aid your online marketing quest.
