5 Ways to Increase Web Traffic

How to increase your website traffic with zero cost. Its a bold statement dont you think. But, believe me its true. You can increase your traffic by 1000% with no cost involved if you do it the right way. Continue reading if you want to know how.

Ive outlined 5 ways to reach your target. But, please keep in mind that these are not the only ways that you can do to increase your traffic. There are hundreds of techniques to increase traffic. But these one are the proven one. Ive used it personally. More importantly, these techniques can get you FREE traffic. Youre money is saved in your pocket. Lets go to the first one.

Technique #1: Linking strategy
Linking strategy is the easiest way to get free traffic. When I say the easiest way it does not mean that you can ask everybody to link to your site and do nothing after that. Compared to other techniques that youll discover, this one will take less time to do.

Heres how to do it. First select the site in your niche market. Be selective. Choose one that has a high traffic. Usually a high traffic site is pretty stingy to put link to your site. So, the key here is to be persistent. Ask them how many visitors do they received per month and if they could link to your site. If they dont answer your request, email them the second time. Be persistent. If they dont want to link to your site, ask them to trade link instead (reciprocal link). This is the last resort you want to have.
Word of warning: Dont crowd your site with too many links. Only accept link trading if its really worth it.

Technique #2: Offer Free eBooks or articles
Youll fall in love with this technique if you see what it can do to your site. This technique can create an excellentViral marketing effect. It can multiply the no of visitors to your site in a matter of days.
This most important thing about this technique is that to offer something that is really useful to your visitor. So useful that they can only get that information from you!

You need to the wants in your need market. What problems do they encounter? Solve these problems and you have a killer articles or e-book that you can give away for free. Remember, dont sell it. Give it away for free. If you feel really reluctant to give your article or e-book for free, you can give your visitors a partial of it. But, make sure its really useful. Dont forget to put your name and your contact information in this article or e-book. Usually, if you write an article, you need to include your resource box at the very bottom of your article.

The most important task in this technique is to offer a reprint right to your visitors. What this mean is that your visitors can publish your articles or e-book to anyone in any medium; email, Ezine, website or anything. But please state your condition: Include your contact information or resource box. This will create viral effect to your visitors.

Before I forgot, there is one particular e-book compiler that is good in doing this kind of task. The name of this e-book compiler is E-book Edit Pro. With this compiler, you can offer your visitors a customizable e-book. This is a great incentive for them to distribute your article or e-book since they can put their name and information in it. If you like to know more about the
excellent compiler, please visit:

Technique #3: Classified Ad
This is the most time consuming technique compared to all 5. While it is time consuming, it is really worth it. Tips - This technique should be used together with the above technique. Let me explain:
First, you need to write an e-book or article that you can give it away for free. Then, you need have an autoresponder. If you dont have an autoresponder (your hosting company should provide this service for free), you can get one for free. Just type free autoresponder in your search engine and youll get hundred of sites that provided free autoresponder. If youre searching for excellent autoresponder, Id like to suggest these autoresponder:

1. http://www.getresponse.com - Most online marketers used this service. You pay monthly to them for providing service. The most important feature is that you can personalize your autoresponder with your visitor"s name. They also provide a free service. The only catch is that there will be an ad in your email.

2. http://www.aweber.com - One of the first companies to provide autoresponder service. Try to visit their site if you want to learn more. Basically, it offers the same kind of service as getresponse.com.

3. http://www.autoresponseplus.com - You only need to pay one-time fees for this service since the software will be installed on your server. Its great in you dont want to pay high monthly fees. The only drawback for Autoresponseplus is that you need to have a little bit skill on how to install cgi (Common Gateway Interface) on your server.
Enough talking. Lets continue.

After you have your own autoresponder, place your free article in this autoresponder. Now, you need to advertise your autoresponder address in the classified ad website. Dont put your email address but your autoresponder address. The best part with this technique is that you can capture you visitor"s email. You can contact them again and again if you have any offer in the future.

Technique #4: Deliver informational pack Ezine/newsletter
People surf the net to look for information. Out of 100, only 3 people surf the net to buy something. But others are doing some research or try to find something informational.
With this keep in mind, you can attract people to come to your site if you can deliver them timely information. By producing timely information, you glued these visitors to your site preventing them from going elsewhere. This can be done by giving them free newsletter or Ezine.

This is not an easy task because there is abundance of free information on the net. You need to give them something different from these free stuff. Try to provide something unique in your Ezine. For example, if youre publishing music Ezine, try to make a deal with music label so that you can give special price to your subscriber. Make sure your subscriber cannot get this of kind if deal in other place. If you can create this unique proposition, youre already on top of the world. Your Ezine will spread like fire. More people will come to your site to subscribe your unique newsletter.

Technique #5: Offer affiliate program
This is the greatest FREE traffic generator technique out there. With this technique both parties win; you and your affiliate program participant. You get more traffic and sales, they get more money from referral commission.

This topic is really a large topic. I can write a whole e-book about how to create a successful affiliate program. But, Ill discuss the basic thing about affiliate program in here.Basically, to create an effective affiliate program, you need to create an interest for your visitors to join your affiliate program. You can do this by giving them high referral fees and marketing tools for them to use. Above all, you need to make them easy to promote your product or service. Dont make them do all the hard work. It is your job.

The next thing you need to do is to motivate them to spread the word about you. Contact them in a timely manner. Dont forget them after theyve joined your program. Make them feel special. In fact, they are special since they are the one who will do the promotion and advertising.

A well designed affiliate program can increase your website traffic and sales by unimaginable amount. But again, you need to devote all you effort in this technique if you want to have a successful affiliate program. Dont do it half way. Even if youve to work 18 hours a day to create your own affiliate program, its really worth it in the future. The payoff is going
to be thousand times your initial effort.

All of these techniques are free. You dont have to spend a dime on them. Try it on your site. Ive tried all these techniques. And they work!

Constant Content

Constant content is like AC. But, it's other users who are buying the content, for their own sites. therefore, you can sell it multiple times.
Here's how it works. You submit an article. You give three prices:

• Usage (lets the buyer use the content, but others can use it again by buying it through constant content)
  


• Unique (it is bought and taken off the site)
  


• Full Rights (you buy th content, it is taken down form CC, and you can manipulate it, resell it, and claim you wrote it. Basically, you OWN the content this way)
  

The prices rise from usage to full rights, obviously. You get 65% of every sale:

• 65% to you


• 5% to your referrer


• 20% to Affiliates


• 10% to CC

You can also sell your non-exclusive AC articles on there for even more cash! (but then, DO NOT offer unique or fulll rights options)

Also, why not use CC for your OWN blog? A TON of content on there is free, so you can put it up to get more and more stuff on your blog (if you do have a blog, you should add content regualrly).

CC accepts TXT, PDF, and HTML documents for sale. Of course, you could sellan article and say that you are selling the download link!

Writing ebooks

Organize Your eBook for an Easy Read
by Earma Brown

Organize Your Book for Easy Speed-Writing
Every successful non-fiction book, including e-books have a set structure. Readers enjoy easy-to-read maps to guide them through your book. They love consistency. It is disconcerting and unprofessional if you change formats throughout the book.
You must create an outline to structure your chapters and then fill in the blanks as you work on your book. The best non-fiction books have a set structure to house each chapter. Use repeating elements in each chapter. Your readers will love knowing generally what to expect in each chapter and reward you by reading your book from start to finish. Your consistency, your focused, themed copy will keep your reader reading to the end because it's easy to read.
You should organize your chapters before writing with a table of contents, chapter title, brief quote, introduction, list of supporting points, and a brief summary.

Selecting Your Saleable Topic
Choose a topic that people are hungry for information and you have a passion for. Either you already know a wealth of information about this topic or its one you want to find out more about.

Interested in helping people get financially fit? You could research the latest financial plans, get out of debt plans and/or budgeting plans to see if they work.
Develop at least 8-10 questions people want the answer to in getting financially fit.

Interview 10-15 people and you will have an interesting survey, interviews and testimonials to put into your solutions oriented ebook. Post it on the internet and put it in front of the stream of people looking for financial solutions each month.

Develop Your Table of Contents
Begin by developing topic areas for your table of contents. For example, the 8-10 major areas listed in my Creating a Website with Marketing WOW ebook began with this list of topics:

Giving Your Site a Purpose
Design Rules to Define Your Website
Website Dos & Don'ts
7 Keys to Winning Website Sales Copy
Search Engine Optimization Made Easy
Free to Profit Marketing Strategy TM
Correct These Website Mistakes and Prosper

The list of topics will become your chapters list or table of contents.

Divide each Chapter Topic into Questions list
The easiest method is to take each chapter topic and list questions your audience needs an answer to. Or if you have a wealth of information, you would simply list 5-8 points to support your chapter topic. A good organization tips is to include these as chapter notes right before the introduction.

That way your audience will have a preview of what's covered in each chapter. Also, when you are writing you will have a clear guideline as what you need to write next. The Chapter Outlines for the Creating a Website with Marketing WOW ebook developed like so:

Chapter Three
Stellar Web Copy Sells
Sizzle Your Web Copy to Sell Your Service/Product
Wow Website Notes:
Give Your Copy a Theme
Capture Interest with Headlines
Identify and Personalize Benefits
Help Visitors Visualize
Power Punch Your Words
Add Engagement tools
Make it Web Ready
Help Your Site Pass Inspection With Your Visitors



If you have any problems coming up with questions to support your chapter topics, visit the discussion forums and support groups in your targeted market.

Commit to a Regular Writing Schedule
You have gotten started. That's great. Now commit to a regular writing schedule of 30 minutes to one hour. To gain momentum, set a goal to answer at least 3 questions each day from your book.

You might be surprised to discover how fast you can accomplish your book and put it on the market for profit.

Avoid This Speed-Breaker
Many writers and business professionals are perfectionist, including me. But to maintain momentum and complete your book fast, you must avoid premature editing and over-editing. After getting the book out of your head to paper, use one of your regular writing sessions to self-edit your book. Your copy will be compelling and without doubt, if you don't use the stop and start method of editing.

Don't wait any longer. Get your e-book done and whiz past all the people that wonder if it can be done and the dream-killers that tell you it can't be done. Implement the above principles, organize your book and get it written faster than you ever dreamed.

Is selling on EBay right for you?

How to Sell on EBay: Is it Right for You?
Written by Evan Sherlock
Owner of MoneyMakingTeens.com

EBay is one of the largest growing websites that allow you to buy and sell practically whatever you want these days, but I always keep hearing people say that they can't do it because it's to complicated or they have nothing that they can sell to make profit. Well, that's what I first told myself, but as I read many success stories and saw how easy it could be, I was willing to give it a try.

Now, you don't have to be a computer geek to sell or buy on eBay. You just need to know how to follow directions and if you can do that, it really is pretty simple. So, just to clear up a few things for a sellers information, eBay won't charge you for registering for either buying or selling products, the only fees that you primarily will have to pay for are your insertion fees and your final value fees depending on if you sell the product. There are a few odds and inns such as picture fees, reserve fees, etc. For the buyers information, it won't cost you to bid or buy an item, the only fee that you'll most likely have to pay for will be your transaction fee from what ever payment method you took, such as pay pal

To start things off, if you want to sell products on eBay, but you don't think you have anything that is valuable enough to make some sort of profit from, you're wrong. You can sell anything on eBay from advertising on your forehead, to selling your grandfathers Ford Model T. So, just find anything, go to garage or rummage sales if you want, anything at all will do. Once you have a product, I recommend researching it on the internet to find out how much it's worth, and also going on eBay and try to find the same product, even a dollar of a difference matters to a buyer when he or she is looking at products. Then, when you have a reasonable price for your product, there are a few more steps that you will need to have done. You will no matter what, want to try to upload a picture of the item to your computer so you can attach it to your post. A picture really is worth a thousand words, or in this case money. So be sure you are going to be able to obtain a picture, and if you can't, don't let it prevent you from not selling your product. It will just draw away serious buyers looking at your product, so I recommend including a very detailed description. Unless the product has a bar code on it, eBay has a very easy to use system that you can use to obtain a picture of your product depending on if they have it in their database through entering in the UPC number found on your product.

Ok, so you have the three basic fundamentals for selling your product on eBay, the product, a description, and a picture if you have one. Now you need to go through the process of posting it on eBay website. There are primarily two ways that you can sell an item, you can sell it in an auction format, or sell it at a fixed price. If you are uncertain about the auction format because you are afraid you might not get the amount of money you want to get from your product, you can always set a reserve. A reserve means even if the auction started at one dollar, a bidder will not be able to buy the item until it reaches the minimum amount that is wanted, which is your reserve. If you choose to go with the fixed price format, which means you will set the price that you want for your product, so that what you will get, nothing lower. Just remember that if you set the price too high, you probably won sell it, and don set it to low that it sounds too good to be true. This step is very important to maximize your profit.

From here on, you will have about five more steps that you will have to get through on eBay website to get your product sold. The first two are fairly strait forward and simple. First, you will have to choose a category for your product; this is vital when you consider a buyer searching for your product under a different category then what you chose. Second, you will have to include a title and description of your product. Like I said before, include everything that is associated with your product, even possible damages or defects.

The last three steps need a little bit more care and thought, such as how to maximize your profit. So for third, you will be asked to include a picture of your product if you have one, it is not mandatory, but it is necessary if you want to draw more buyers to your item. Fourth, you will have to choose your payment and shipment methods. If you are not sure about what payment method to choose, I recommend pay pal for its ease of use and low transaction fees. Though there are many other methods of payment, pay pal is one of the fastest ways for you to receive your money quick. But, keep in mind that not all people have pay pal, so remember to add another payment method that you are willing to accept. This will increase the chance of a buyer buying your product. Shipping deals with many factors including how big your item is, such as an antique chest, and if you want to offer free shipping or local pick-up only. Free shipping is a definite selling point for your product, and I recommend mentioning it in your title for your product. Just make sure that you will need to make enough money to pay for the shipping, and that it will not interfere with the profit that you want to make. Finally, for the last step, which I think is the easiest, review and submit the item. Look over everything very carefully, and make sure that everything looks nearly perfect.

If you think you e done, think again. There are a few more steps that you can and should take to increase your reputation as a so called bayer Leaving feedback is a great way to let your buyer know that you had a great transaction with him or her. It also gives you a better chance at buyers since the number of feedback will show up next to your username. Just include a sentence or two describing how the transaction went, it really shows how responsible and professional you are. Other ways would be simply packaging your item nicely to avoid damage. Buyers like this, and it will give you a better chance of them buying from you again. If you are on a low budget, just do a little dumpster diving. You can always find bubble wrap and other things that will make you seem more professional if you look behind office products stores. Remember, selling something on eBay should be fun. You don have to go to places where they offer they will sell your product for you. You just end up wasting money considering what you have read above, showing you how easy it can really be. So find something you want to sell, and sell it. There are no major rules to eBay, so if you e doing well, you could even turn your hobby into a fulltime income, the sky is the limit.

How to Start an Efficient EBay Business

How To Start a Super Efficient eBay Business

Starting an online business sounds like a daunting task. You start to think things like; I don’t know anything about internet marketing, e-commerce, search engine optimization… I can’t even create a website!

All of these, beyond the lack of knowledge of them, cost money. Something most of us don’t have enough of.

There is an online solution that bypasses the majority of what you need to start. It’s called eBay. Rarely unheard of, this enormous online marketplace is the perfect solution to starting a low cost, low risk online business.

The question is how exactly do you start an eBay business, or even start selling a few items? You would think the answer would be to go out to a Barnes & Noble or search through Amazon.com for a $20.00 how-to book for selling on eBay. However, what makes eBay even more efficient is that it is its own how-to book. In fact, the features and support provided by eBay are sufficient enough to start selling and making consistent supplemental income.

So your first step is to head on over to eBay.com, surf through the site and learn all you can and the best thing is that it is all free. Check out the Community section and you will find a wealth of information from other sellers.

After eBay has your business up and running, your next step is to search out the information that will improve your current entrepreneurial endeavor. This is where you might have to spend some money. Of course, you can use the money you made on eBay to buy a book that will improve your eBay business.

You’re in the business of making your market super efficient. eBay, as an enormous community of honest buyers and sellers, is itself a super efficient market, where sellers sell below retail and buyers get the best deal. The goal of your business should be to mimic eBay on a smaller scale.

With that in mind, finding a book that enhances your business should entail a strategic framework for your business. This includes taking a look at your business as a whole. The old adage, “You can’t see the forest for the trees” should apply. If you focus too much on certain details, you may just find your business going under fast.

In summary, browse through the eBay website, learn the most you can for free, begin to put auctions up and make some extra money. When you get used to that, use some of that extra money to buy a book to enhance your eBay business. This book should have foundational, strategic advice that will cause your business to evolve into a mini super efficient market. Then get ready to profit from you lowest cost, lowest risk, online business endeavor you have ever attempted.

Eboks: All about them

E-books in Your Life

E-Books are making a big impact in the way we read, write and use books. There is nothing holding back an expert with years of experience on a particular field to write about all the ins and outs, trade secrets, strengths and weaknesses of the industry.

Consider Colm Dillon, the author of Unique Real Estate Development Method. He has 30 years and $1.2 Billion worth of professional real estate development experience. Dillon wrote his book purely from experience and practical usage. His eBook is now selling in 63 countries and directly available on the Internet.

More and more shoppers are now buying books online. If you purchase a physical book that you have been dying to get your hands on you still have to wait for shipping and delivery before you can start reading. With E-Books you get instant delivery 24x7. No more waiting and watching the clock. While the inspiration and interest is hot, you get to download your favorite business book and start reading away.

Imagine, discovering an E-Book called Business Plans at 11.30 pm, decided to buy and download the book at 12.05 am, finished reading it by 2.00 am. The 10 o’clock meeting next morning, and you are already a guru on Business Plans and opportunities to lead you company to new frontiers.

And that E-Book is very easy to share with your spouse or friend, just email it. The E-book will never wear out for millions of years to come. Hundreds of thousands of E-Books can be carried in the palm of your hand no matter where you go in a flash-drive or portable disk.

E-Books are the new media for traditional physical books, but are E-Books here to stay? Consider Joe Vitale, author of numerous successful E-Books and more recently famous for Attractor Factor which has already outsold Harry Potter as #1 bestseller twice in two weeks. E-books are carving the path for many talented authors around the world. E-books are not only here to stay but also becoming very popular.

My Cats, Miso and Misha

Miso and Misha

---

Miso is the runt of his litter, so therefore he is small and cuter. Misha is actually the fat one, and is more
dependent on us to play with him. Miso is more independent.

---

Miso and Misha are BIG fans of basking in the sun, and 50% of the time,
that's what you'll find them doing!

---

Here's a list of how to distinguish between Miso and Misha:

• Miso is smaller than Misha in every way
  
• They both have white spots under their chins, but Miso's is smaller
  
• Misha's hair is rougher and puffs out more on his cheeks
  

---

We feed our kittens real food. Not
disgusting factory made dry food, but fresh chicken. We usually give
them 1 chicken thigh twice a day each. Also, sometimes we give them
something instead like salmon or steak if we have leftovers from
dinner; We save 2 chicken thighs that way.

Update

As of now, this blog will not only be about making money. It will also be full of other fun stuff like pictures and poetry.
To get this started, i'm going post a picture of my cat:

Associated Content

Associated content is by far the BEST MONEYMAKING SITE OUT THERE.
Associated content is like triond; they pay you to publish. But, it's different. AC pays you a lump sum. For example, they might pay you $5.45 for an article!

Also, recently, they started the Performance Beta Program. For every 1,000 page views you get on your account, they also pay you $1.50. Here's an example:
You have on average 10,000 page views per month. That means you'll get an added bonus payment of 15 dollars each month form AC!

AC will make you the most money of all sites mentioned on the blog.

They pay through paypal.

AC accepts Text, Video, and Audio content, but does not pay for the latter. They'll also only pay for text items 400 words or more.

Another way to make money when on AC is to get referrals. Everyone who joins under your unique referral link will be credited under your account. You get 3 dollars for every referral!

They laso have something called clout. The higher your clout, the more they'll pay you for your content. Your clout index is calculated this way:

a=b+c%b

This is where a= clout, b=page views total, and c=amount of items published.
Join AC by clicking the Image at the top of this post!

Triond

Triond is a site that pays you to publish your content. You give them text, sound, image, and video objects you have created and they publish them on appropriate sites. The more page views you have total, the more money you earn.

To earn good money with Triond you MUST have aLOT of stuff. They don't pay much per page view, so you'll need many items. But, when you do have a lot of items, you'll get a nice sum.

They pay by paypal and by check, but paypal is recommended because the payout is much smaller and you have to pay a fee to get your earnings by check.

Triond pays by month.

The payout if you use paypal is 50 cents. But, i think if you work at it you'll be making much more cash every month on Triond.

Another site like triond is Helium, but my experiences with Triond are better.

To join Triond, click the logo at the top of this post.

MyLot

MyLot is an online community that is made up of forums. There is a different forum for every topic or interest and there are many, many threads to respond to, and you can start you're own threads as well.
Here's how it works:

You sign up. Then you add your interests in the different sections (hobbies, movies i recommend watching, music, etc.). Now, on your toolbar (on the left) you have little thumbnails with a picture corresponding to your interest. You click on it and it brings you to the topic's forum. Here you can go to threads (discussions) as well as start your own.

You get paid whenever you post a reply, whenever someone posts on one of your discussions, as well as when you post pictures onto the site.

When you refer someone to the site (they sign up with your unique referral link), you get a bonus of 25% of their earnings.

No one knows the complex algorithm they use to calculate earnings, but it depends on the quality of your post; whether it encourages others to respond, directly or not.

MyLot is completely safe and pays through Paypal and E-gold.

You can sign up here

Hope you post!

First off... Making a blog

Making a blog is actually a money-making venture. Google adsense will pay you to let them advertise on you site (blog in this case). Every time someone clicks on one of the ads, you get paid directly to your account.
Plus, there won't be annoying or obscene ads because the actually ad topic depends on your blog! Here's an example: You have a site about stamp collecting. If you sign it up for Google Adsense, the ads will only have to do with stamps, collecting, and postal topics.
You can go to their Official site by clicking the Banner at the bottom of this blog. Thanks!

Hi!

Hello everyone this is my first post. This is blog is going to be about sites that you can easily make money with online.
You might think that many online money sites are scams, and you're right. But, i will only give out i info for good, scam-free, fair sites!
Hope you'll like the blog!
