How to Make Your Blog Stand Out From The Rest

blogggIf you are attempting to create a successful blog you should know that looks actually do count.Many bloggers make the mistake of thinking that looks are not as important as content, since readers are essentially reading your blog for the words, not the way it looks. This is true to some degree.

The fact is however that people will not take your words seriously if your blog looks less than attractive. To have a successful blog you have to have it all. You must have interesting content as well as a great look. If you want to update the look of your blog, consider these areas of importance.

Easy To Scan

The way your blog reads on a page is an extremely important part of your blog’s look. You should always remember to keep your blog posts short and to the point. If you are treating your blog as a personal diary, your posts may be a little longer than normal. But, if you are trying to get more traffic to your blog, then you really want to focus the attention with short posts that offer the main point easily. Most blog readers will only scan your posts, not read them word for word. So keep this in mind when you are writing. The shorter the post, the more likely they are to read the entire thing. If your blog is easy to scan because the posts are short and the breaks are clear, you will have a great looking blog.

Professional Edge

When designing or redesigning your blog, try to make it as professional looking as possible. Even if the blog is not for a business, the more professional it looks, the more seriously people will take it. Not everyone knows a lot about programming, so you may need to research a bit. If you have the extra funds, you might even want to get a professional to program it for you. No matter what you have to do, just keep a level of professionalism in your mind throughout the designing process.

Friendly Colors

Most people don’t think twice about what colors they choose for their blog. The facts are that some colors come across better on the web than others. Blue and black are easy to see, so they are always great choices to use. Sea-green, beige, or purple are also great soothing colors to use for a blog. You should stay away from using colors like pink, yellow, or any neon varieties. They are extremely hard on the eyes when reading them online and can deter people from reading your blog. Keep these color tips in mind when you design your blog to get the best results available.

Appropriate Graphics

It has been noted that the use of pictures on your blog is a great way to boost traffic. Blogs that offer pictures that correlate with their content are fantastic. Readers love to connect with the content further through pictures. With most blogging software offering ways to easily add pictures, it should not be a problem for most publishers to add them right into the blog. If you do have trouble, consider checking the “help” area in your blogging software for more information. The information there should provide you with step by step instructions to help you get on your way.

Successful Layout

Most people who design blogs and websites will tell you that the layout does matter as well. The way a blog looks to the reader in important in terms of layout. The layout should be clear and defined. If the reader is confused by the layout, they will likely not stick around to explore. They will most likely go right on to the next blog available. If you are letting a professional design your blog, you will likely not need to worry much about the layout. However, if you are doing it yourself, take a look at other successful sites to get ideas about what works and what doesn’t. Look at your site like a reader would to get the best advice you can. Lastly, simply test different layouts on your friends and family to see which ones they find the most suitable for your blog.

Two Marketing Strategies to Make Money Online with Affiliate Programs

October 14, 2009 by Ashley · 5 Comments
Filed under: Affiliate marketing, Newbies 

metal-number-2The first strategy to make money online is building a list.

This strategy is the most important step to continue to make money long term. If you do not already have some type of autoreponder system you need to get one. Don’t be cheap here either because your entire business will hinge on this one piece of software.

An effective way of building your list is from the traffic that visits your website. This step, which is probably the most effective,does require you to have a website in order to implement an opt-in list form. Of course if your Affiliate program does offer a list management service then you can send traffic to the affiliate URL, but I don’t recommend it as you will usually not be able to email the entire list with special offers.

To make the most of your opt-in form and get the most signups, you should place it in your sales page text. It should best rategically located in the sales text after you present a problem. The title of your autoresponder email series should address the problem by offering asolution. In the example below we will assume that I am selling a hosting package and I want opt-in subscribers to my email course for back-end sales.

Example: You can use the pre-built websites or build your own. Many people think that building a website is hard, but I can show you how easy it really is. Take my 10 day email course “Build a Website with Ease”[signup form here].

The second strategy to make money online is driving traffic to your website.

When I say traffic, I don’t just mean any old traffic, I mean targeted traffic, people who are motivated and ready to buy can and will make you money. You can use programs and techniques such as Google Adwords, bloging, article writing and linking to drive targeted traffic to your website. Google Adwords is a resource offered by Google in which you can payfor your site to be show when certain keywords are queried in their search engine.

The secret to using Adwords is not to bid high on popular keywords. Instead,what you do is find similar keywords that still describe your website, but are used much less frequent. These keywords will cost much less to bid on and will allow you to spread your money out over many different keywords, getting the most bang for your buck.

Blogging is another great way to drive targeted traffic to your website. To get the most out of this technique the blog should be hosted on the same website as the sales page witch links to your affiliate program. Once its setup all you have to do is fill your blogwith good quality content.

I recommend writing your own content which specifically relates to your affiliate program and or products. Once you have some content you will need to submit your RSS feed to the as many blog search engines as you can. This will put your blog out there for other webmasters to use as content feeds on their websites.

This win-win situation allows webmasters to have quality content on their website, which increases the value of that website while driving targeted traffic directly to you.

This is done by the URL link that you conveniently placed under your name after the blog was written. That means that your link is on a blog feed that is on thousands of websites. Not only do people click those links but Google sees these links pointing back to you and thinks that you’re popular and you are rewarded with a higher page rank.

Article writing is basically the same as blogging except the information in an article will need to have more useful content and be peppered with keywords that the webmasters are looking for. After completing your article you will submit (syndicate) it to content sites as opposed to blogsearch engines.

Content sites are places where webmasters go to find specific content to offer their readers. If you are a good writer you may at some point build up a name for yourself and finagle a deal with a webmaster to write exclusives for his site. His readers get great exclusive content and you get highly motivated targeted traffic.

Linking is perhaps the most widely used form of increasing traffic and page rank. However, if done incorrectly you could end up hurting your Google page rank and ultimately loosing potential buyers. You will need your own website for this technique as you will need a ‘links’ page to place your reciprocal links on.

Many people go and submit their URL links to link farms in an attempt to trick Google into giving them a better page rank. This does NOT work; in fact Google has been known to penalize websites for engaging in these activities.

The secret to linking is to find websites in your niche market which have a Google page rank of 4 or above and enticing the webmaster to list your link on their website. You may think that you would be helping your competition, well you would be. But your competition would be helping you as well. It’s better to send leaving traffic to a partner than just having them close their browser window, and remember that works both ways.

The strategies listed in this article do work and they will increase you sales and residuals it done correctly. Reciprocal linking, Blogging and Article writing are great ways to bring massive amounts of high quality targeted traffic to your website. Those strategies combined with an effective sales page with an integrated opt-in email list can make your business soar to new heights. You can and will make money with this system, Guaranteed!

What Is Pay Per Click Marketing And How Can It Benefit You

October 13, 2009 by Ashley · 1 Comment
Filed under: Pay Per Click 

pay-per-click-1I could write a book explaining what pay per click marketing is and what it can do for you and your business, but I will keep this short and to the point. Pay per click (ppc) marketing is an advertising platform in which you bid an amount of money that you are willing to pay for a click.

When a searcher does a search at Google all of the ads on the right side of the screen are ppc ads. Google calls them sponsored listings. When a surfer types in a keyword, the advertisers who have bid on that keyword have their ads displayed. When one of the ads is clicked by the surfer they are taken to the advertiser’s website. The advertiser is charged at maximum, the amount they’ve bid. Most of the time they are charged less than what they have bid.  But they are never charged more than their maximum bid.

The bids can start at 1 cent and depending on the market and the ppc search engine, go up to £50 ($50) or more per click. When starting off I suggest bidding very low. Ten to fifteen cents per click or lower is a good start. The higher you bid the higher in the rankings your ad is shown therefore increasing your ad’s visibility and your potential visitors. The downside is bidding high can cost you a lot of money and in some cases bring you way over budget. Be very careful when bidding.

Bidding low might not get you as much traffic as bidding high but it will bring you traffic for much cheaper thus increasing your return of investment (ROI).  One way to increase the amount of times your ad is shown (visibility) while bidding low, is to bid on a high volume of keywords. Some marketers bid on hundreds and up to hundreds of thousands of keywords.

This method will take some time. Putting together hundreds or thousands of keywords can be time consuming, but it is an effective strategy for getting quality traffic, without paying a lot of money. The more you work with the ppcs the faster you will get at putting together lists of keywords.

In case you’re not sure how to generate that many keywords there are many tools on the net that will help. Some are free and some charge money. One of the best free tools is Wordtracker, you can take the free trial at http://wordtracker.com

What can ppc marketing do for your business? Depending on your market, ppc marketing can be a great way to get quality traffic inexpensively, increasing your ROI and profit. It is also a great method for testing products because your ad can “go live” in as little as 15 minutes and up to 5 business days. Depending on which ppc search engine you use.

Advertising your business at free search engines a.k.a organic search engines can take weeks or even months for your website to be indexed in their directory. It can take a lot longer than that to get a decent ranking on your search terms. The more competitive the keywords you are trying to get listed, the harder it is to obtain a decent ranking. This is one reason why ppc search engines have a huge advantage over organic search engines.

I, as well as thousands of other marketers think the best two ppc search engines are Google Adwords and Yahoo! Search Marketing (formerly Overture). Google claims your ad can “go live” in 15 minutes but it usually takes a couple of hours. This is really fast. Yahoo! Usually takes a couple of days.

There are thousands of smaller ppc search engines. Some of them are good and some are not. Some will take your money but will not have many searchers. Google and Yahoo have hundreds of millions of searchers every day. If you think about using a smaller ppc do some research and find out what experiences other marketers have had. There are thousands of forums, newsletters, ezines and info sites dedicated to educating people about ppc marketing. You can learn a lot about Google Adwords, Yahoo! Search Marketing and a lot of the smaller (2nd tier) ppc search engines at these places.

Mass Control 2.0 Is Actually Back

October 13, 2009 by Ashley · 1 Comment
Filed under: Newbies, Review 

frank-kernYes you heard it Mass Control 2.0 is finally back, if you are getting started with Internet Marketing or wanting to become successful with Internet Marketing. This (Don’t ask why) I have seen the actual page that will be selling this. The Sales page (if finished) seems to be the same sales page he used a few months back! As he explains what you get with Mass Control 2.0 it worked for him a few months back so why reinvent the wheel?

On the order page very straight forward, either full payment of $1997 or three payments of $797 this of course is not finalized as Frank may have just been testing the page but this is what I had seen.

Here is what is included with Mass Control

Mass Control 2.0 comes with the following contents:

1) Core Influence Presentation on DVD.

This teaches you why you are in the business in the first place, who you want to do business with, and helps you to identify who your market really is. This DVD could possibly change your life.

2) Four Day Cash Machine.

This consists of a DVD and guidebook. This part of the program is designed to generate enough profits to get your investment in the course back in 4 days. This part is brain dead simple. You read the manual, watch the DVD, and cut and paste stuff and you’re done.

3) Main Mass Control 2.0 Course.

This is the main part of the course. It was designed so that can actually use it and not just sit on your shelf. The course is designed to be used over the course of 30 days. Your first mass control campaign will be up and running and making lots of money, even if you are just starting out.

The Mass Control 2.0 course is broken out into 4 different weeks. Each week comes with a manual and a set of DVD’s and CD’s. The manual and the DVD’s are meant to be used together. The manual tells you what to do and the DVD’s show you what to do. At the end of the week you are to listen to the CD’s which answer the most frequently asked questions.

Week 1

You will learn the main components of mass control.

· Interest and desire.

· Bonding and trust.

· Proof and samples.

You will also learn about the mass control money magnets which are the giveaways to your market. You will be provided a clear map of traffic, how to get it and where to get it from.

Week 2

By now you already have the attention of your market. Now you are going to take that attention and make them trust you and want to buy from you. You will make them feel like they have known you forever. This is done in a non-manipulative way by telling the truth and providing value. This creates a sense of community and leads to more sales and more money for you. This is the main ingredient to the $23.8 million in 24 hours.

Week 3

Now you are getting lots of attention, traffic is opting in, people are joining your list, or you have a new list. This week is about implementing the main mass control formula – the recipe. You will learn the “instant empathy exercise” which gives you seemingly near psychic and telepathic abilities to determine exactly what your market’s feeling and what they want and what their real concerns are. Often their real concerns are different from what everyone thinks they are including the competition. Your customers will love you.

Week 4

This is the money getting week. You will learn 2 awesome techniques:

· “Stacking the cool”.

· The “death grip”. This isn’t heavy or weird – it’s about giving more stuff to people.

These are the reasons Frank Kern’s stuff sells out. This is about turning attention and trust into dollars.

4) Crowd Control

This part teaches you how to sell as much as you can with live or online recorded video. Video works to the extent that Frank is using video almost exclusively to market Mass Control 2. This is great for those who don’t like to write. You just need to get a cheap Flip video recorder and have at it. This will turn you into a celebrity and also help you sell like crazy. In this part, Frank will break down all of his videos that he has used in marketing.

5) $23.8 Million Swipe File

Frank provides all the marketing materials for the 4 product launches that I mentioned at the beginning of this article. He also provides a walk-through that shows why he did what he did.

So I do say yes it is an investment but if you want to be a serious Internet Marketer then you need purchase Mass Control 2.0 Frank only has 230 copies available so you will have to act fast. As of the time I am typing this post it is not still on the market and I won’t be revealing where I have seen the page as I have a lot of respect for Mr Kern, But trust me do not miss out! here will be the actual page when it launches!

http://www.masscontrolsite.com/

If you are seeing now you can get free stuff from Frank I would advice to opt in to his list because Frank does not disappoint with his content!
