Yes, traffic is the single most important aspect of a successful online based business. Each and every article you find about making your online business successful will more than likely include the importance of generating traffic.

But one thing that everyone but the experts ignores is …

Google latest new tool – Google Insights

Posted by WY on August 23, 2009

Google just release a new tool, which I thought was amazing which I just got to share with you.

Known as the Goggle Insights for Search, it is geared mostly towards advertisers but interesting to anyone into trends and of particular interest to people doing Internet Marketing.

Google Insights allows to you chart a search term popularity across web and the world which is cool in itself.

I did a quick search for “Identity Theft” and who knew there are almost twice as many people in Jamaica who is interested in Identity Theft as those in United States.

Well, there is a story behind it, and I am sure with a bit more investigation, you will know why too.

Information Marketing is so Easy I almost Feel Bad

Posted by WY on August 16, 2009

There are so many different ways to generate good money on the Web. I’ve tried a number of different approaches and created a wide range of results…

There are things that didn’t work at all for me, and other things that just went through the roof.

Quality Private Label Rights Products

Quality Private Label Rights Products

The key is in finding a business model that works for you. We’re all different, and it makes sense to think that each of us has our own set of skills and possible skills which we can use when we build any sort of business or venture.

And of course when you’re just getting started you might not even know what you’re good at yet so it’s really a matter of jumping in there and trying a few different things.

I’d like to share some info with you today about one of my absolute favorite markets; the digital PLR industry.

PLR – or private label rights marketing is nothing new.

In fact for the past 50 years vitamin companies, canned food producers, and many other offline operations have worked with smaller organizations to build some gigantic win-win PLR promotions.

If you’ve ever gone to the grocery store and bought the “store brand” variety of your favorite cereal to save a few bucks then you have supported a good PLR campaign.

Of course your grocery store doesn’t have their own Frosted Flakes factory, so they buy the rights from Kellogs to sell a generic version of this great cereal at a reduced price and under a new logo.

And I promise your grocery store is making a total killing with this strategy! They spend no time or money on production; all they have to do is plug right into an existing, in-demand product, put their name on it, and rake in piles of currency for minimal effort.

Outrageous Marketing is not so Outrageous

Posted by WY on August 14, 2009

Do you know you are bombarded with an average 3700 advertising message very hour?

Baloney?

Surely you don’t think head of GE thought the refrigerator door looks too plain and thought to jazz it up with the awe-inspiring GE logo and hey isn’t it a coincidence that the logo is perfectly viewable at eye-level?

Outrageous Direct Marketing

Outrageous Direct Marketing

And do you know Pentene is created specifically to help remove buildup while leaving hair with shine. Yes, it is true because it says right there while I am taking a shower this morning.

But the point is, with so many advertising messages, people are bored, overwhelmed, and just generally want to be amused. Which brings me to the next message…

Outrageous is not so Outrageous if customer gets the message.

Couple of months back, Jan Drake, an insurance agent from Bethpage, NY sent a direct mail to her customers stuffed in a baby bottle.

It cost her $176 dollars to mail the bottles to 46 leads and it gained a whopping $24,000 of ROI (Return on Investment).

Money-Back Guarantees Are Not A Guaranteed Loss!

Posted by WY on August 5, 2009

Offering a money-back guarantee is a good way to increase sales, because this gives your potential customers the comfort of knowing they can just get their money back if they don’t like your product.

And the good news is less than 2% of your buyers are likely to go through the trouble of asking for a refund, even if they hate what you sold them!

Of this 2%, the sad truth is about half of refunders will ask for money back not out of a lack of satisfaction, but because they couldn’t afford your product in the first place.

But just because a customer asks for a refund, there’s NO reason you can’t make one last effort to retain the sale.
