The Two Most Difficult Questions To Answer

Here are results of a survey done by multiple different internet marketers you have to know. All people starting in Internet Marketing have these questions! The first one is “How Do I Start”. It’s an obvious question, but to many, it is a painful question to answer. Once this question is dealt with, the second one is “How Do I Handle The Information Overload”.

The good news is that I’ve created a system to help people deal with the information overload, and it’s not even about internet marketing per se. It’s about the way you live your life and how you digest information.

How to Conduct an Audio Interview

This is simple enough to do. I’ll detail the steps here:

1. Pick a topic and an expert.

2. If possible, survey people about the topic area. If you don’t have any friends and family at all (unlikely), (a) go to Google, place an ad and solicit information from there, (b) go to any open forum and get questions from there (you can obviously visit the IMS.com forum), (c) hire freelancers to answer survey questions at www.elance.com or someplace like that.

3. List all the questions you have, and present it to your expert. If there is any cleaning up to do, it should be done WAY before the questions are answered.

Get Me A Product And I’ll Show You How To Joint Venture

If you guys have a product of your own that you would like to create, I do believe it will become a powerful bargaining tool for anyone who is a top internet marketer. However, there are tricks to the trade and you most definitely will need to have great quality control.

Going the route of internet marketing is not easy at first, but if you have good friends and a good list, it should be easy. However, you need to invest lots of time and effort in dealing with this kind of ground up approach.

Blogging, Spamming and Blog Spam (Contributing Author)

C. SchillerThere is a right way and a wrong way to do things…
By Trina L.C. Schiller

Email marketing once proved to be immensely effective, but the greedy and idiotic polluted the well by spamming the planet with everything from weight-loss products to sexual enhancement drugs and beyond. Because of the stench, filters and laws have been created to attempt to fix the problem, but still the Internet is polluted with more and more junk each day. So obviously, filters and legislation are not the solution, for consumers, publishers, or marketers.

With Vonage, you can make calls through the Internet, potentially save on long-distance charges, and access a rich assortment of call features. Plans start as low as $14.99 per month, and the Premium Unlimited plan offers unlimited calling to the U.S. and Canada for only $24.99 per month. And it’s easy to use: For making and receiving calls, Vonage works just like a traditional phone service; no special access codes or account numbers are required.

Easy Hardware Setup

All Vonage plans let you enjoy the call features you’ve become accustomed to call waiting, caller ID, voicemail, call forwarding, three-way calling, call return, repeat dialing, and reliable long distance plus other features that may be new to you. For example, you can receive your voicemail as an email attachment, and you’ll have a phone number that travels with you. Visit http://www.vonage.com/amazon to see which plan is best suited to your lifestyle and budget. The low monthly rates are quite reasonably priced, in our opinion, and with them you may save considerably compared to traditional phone service. International calls are available for additional low fees, with one economical exception: calls from the U.S. to Canada are treated like domestic long distance calls, rather than international. Vonage also supports short-form emergency 911 services, where available. (Dialing 911 requires activation and operates differently than traditional 911. See Vonage’s website for details.)

This Vonage Internet Phone Service Starter Kit is quick and easy to install in your home or business. All you need is a high-speed Internet connection (cable or DSL modem) and a touchtone phone. Setup is simple: Just connect one end of the included Vonage-certified Linksys PAP2 phone adapter to your Ethernet router or gateway and the other end to your telephone. Then sign up for Vonage phone service. An extra port on the adapter allows you to attach an additional phone or fax machine. You’ll have instant access to both phone lines, each with a separate number, and you can even assign them different area codes (subject to availability). You can still surf the web while talking on the phone or receiving faxes. The phone adapter includes a generous three-year warranty from the manufacturer.

RSS, Blogging and Publishing (Contributing Author)

C. SchillerRSS Publishing: Not Just For Blogging Anymore
By Trina L.C. Schiller

Web logs, channel ezines, what’s the difference?

Web logs, or blogs, are a communication medium, gaining in popularity, through which RSS [Really Simple Sydication] technology has been introduced to the populous. However, blogs and RSS are not synonomous. RSS technology is what gives life to the blog. and, has been around for awhile. Blogging is a relatively new use for the system.
RSS has been used by the media for quite some time, to bring Internet travelers the news, stock updates, and such. But blogging has brought it into the mainstream, making it a bit more user friendly for the average traveler.

Blogging for Profits (Contributing Author)

Bloging (the act of writing to a blog) has become one of the fastest growing trends this year and many internet gurus believe that this is the new biggest trend. Well, you might ask yourself what is the big deal I don’t even know what a blog is?

To put it simply a blog is a big deal because it can mean a lot of money for you. First, lets define what a blog is then I will get to the good stuff the money and riches! Blog is short for web log, it is just the two words pushed together. You can kind of think of it like a Captains log on a ship, or a diary. It is a quick and easy way to add content to the web with out having to use html. It is instant, quick and really easy.

Now you might ask yourself why would I want to keep my diary online? It basically is a great way to make money. Let me explain that in a little more detail. For most search engines there are two major factors in how well you rank, first is the content of your site and second are the links to your site. Meaning the more key word focused content and the more links you have the higher you will rank in the search engine. We all know it does not pay to be listed number 1 million out of 5 million for a keyword. So everyone is competing for the top 10 spots. Well, the quickest and easiest way to rank above the others is to add tons of key word focused helpful content to your site. The more value you add to the internet the more value you will get out of it. So you can help yourself by helping others and providing knowledge for free in the form of content. A blog creates a very easy way to publish this content because it will publish your content tot he web as soon as you are done typing and best of all there are no html skills required. In fact you can blog for free which I will talk about in article 2. Secondly a blog is a great way to use some basic linking strategies that will help get your site into the search engines. So by setting up a blog you can quickly publish high quality key word focused content and you can include tons of great links to your site.

So let me quickly recap for you why you want to blog. A blog provides a quick, often free way to publish your content on the web and an easy way to link to your website for more traffic. These are important for any webmaster that wants to make money because it all converts to more traffic to your website and more traffic means more people purchasing your product.

So now that you know what a blog is and why blogging is such a great thing you probably want to know how to get started blogging right now! That will be covered in Blogging For Profit The series #2.
