Internet Marketing Training Videos

Ok, so I have recently come across two members of WA that have opened up a training site that has internet marketing training videos. I found that their site has just about the most complete, up to date, information on how to start a career in internet marketing. Whether you are a complete nooby or someone who has been around for awhile that can't seem to make any money, Traffic Dynasty has opened up the door to really and honestly make a living online. They have included videos on how to:

  • Have the right Mindset
  • Make a Daily Plan
  • Do Market Research
  • Do Keyword Research
  • Make killer Landing Pages
  • Implement Tracking & Testing
  • Get Traffic to your website

The best part is that it's all in audio-video so you actually see what their talking about and that alone makes it so much easier to learn.

So if you want to take your marketing to a whole different level and start making some real money, sign up for Traffic Dynasty, get their free videos and start to apply what you learn and make some cash.

One Week Marketing Is The Best

Some of you might be wondering, «just where has the affiliate marketing mom been?» First, let me apologize for not posting on here very often. I have been working my little tush off, learning new things and tweaking what I have. This affiliate marketing stuff is an on going task isn't it?

As I have mentioned previously, I am a big fan of PotPieGirl and her One Week Marketing Action Plan. Before I purchased her product, I had been trying to use Squidoo to market my affiliate programs. I love Squidoo, basically for the simplicity of the website and how high it ranks in Google search.

Squidoo has been around for awhile and already has great page rank with Google, plus you get paid just for using it. What could be better? Well, there is something better and that's to learn how to use Squidoo to make a killing with your affiliate programs.

One Week Marketing is simple to understand and easy to implement. I am using it now to create campaigns on Squidoo. Before I used One Week Marketing, I got maybe 10 visitors to my lenses. Now I am getting 75+ and that's only in the first couple of days. Plus she shows ways to get your lense indexed super-duper fast in as little as 7 hours. Normally it can take a couple of weeks to get indexed on Google.

I can't say nough about her program. If you want to learn how to use Squidoo to make money from home, get One Week Marketing. It's a must in my book.

What Is A Ping and Why You Should

For those of you who are wondering what is a ping and why you should, this post is for you. What a strange name for such an important thing! A ping is not something you do with your fingers on someone's arm. It is a very important tool to get the word out about your blog, article or website.

A ping is defined as the act of letting the search engines (Google for one) know you have written something great and you want everyone to know about it. You want the search engines to crawl your page for new content.

First you need to sign up with a pinging service. Pingoat, PingMyBlog, GoogleBlogSearch, Pingomatic and so many more...Anyway pick one and go sign up. I personally like Pingoat, but the choice is yours. Once you sign up, you need to go back to your blog or website and click on the page you want the search engines to see. Copy the URL of the page and go back to your pinging service. Enter the title of your article and the URL of the page. Check off the boxes of the sites you want to use to bookmark your page or just check off «all» and the service should go through all the bookmarking sites one by one for you automatically and let them know you posted a blog.

That's it! You have now done a ping! Did I say that right? Remember to ping any time you post a new blog or make a change to an old one. Now you know what is a ping and why you should do it. Happy Pinging!

Tips On How Not To Be Called a Spammer On Social Networking Sites

I have taken the time to give you some tips on how not to be called a spammer on social networking sites because this is a mistake that lots of people make when they join a site.

You want to promote your business or product so you join a social networking site. You get right down to business and tell everyone that «your business is the greatest» and «the best» and «you have to buy it now or else»! Geesh, slow down! That is the #1 way to be labeled a spammer and nobody will trust you, want to network with you or buy from you ever!

There is a much better approach and that is to take it easy. Social Networking sites are fast becoming a marketers dream come true. But you better lay off or you will be called a spammer or worse yet, banned completely from the site.

When you first join a network, take the time to read the rules first. Yes, lots of times there are rules and you will need to get familiar with them. Browse around and take the time to create an interesting profile. Please do not push your business here either. Make your profile about you. Tell everyone that you love to ski, make cupcakes or listen to Beethoven. People love to read about other people. They do not want to hear that you are making $10,000/month and they need to buy your product «if they want to live the life you are now».

Once you have your profile filled out, write some interesting blogs, start a discussion or join a group. Make yourself known and become an asset to the community.

After you have built up your credibility then you can start to market yourself a littl bit, but make sure you are not cramming it down their throats. Point them back to your page or blog. If they are interested in you, they will stick around and see what you are about.

I hope you find these tips on how not be called a spammer on social networking sites useful and informative. Now go join a great network and behave yourself!

Social Networking Directory

OK this is a freebie that I found online and I think right now could be a very important tool to learning to market online. Social Networking is fast becoming the thing that online marketers use to generate a ton of traffic to their websites or business. The only problem is, you could literally get lost trying to find networks that pertain to your particular niche or situation. The Social Networking Directory is a compilation of hundreds of networks in a «yellow Pages» type format. It even comes with a guide on how to use it, neat huh? I encourage any of you who are looking to use this type of platform (which should be everyone) to grab your free copy now, before he decides to charge for it.

You can grab a free copy of the directory here: Free Social Networking Directory

One Week Marketing Action Plan

The One Week Marketing Action Plan was written by a mom who became an expert at using Squidoo for marketing and selling products mainly through Clickbank. I find her program to be one of the best written and easy to understand marketing plans on the internet.

So many new marketers get confused and overwelmed with all the information out there. The One Week Marketing Action Plan is an outline that will guide you through the process of using Squidoo (which is free) and various other free tools to make money.

Her e-book sells for $47 and in my opinion, is well worth the investment.

Inexpensive Work At Home Solutions

If you are looking for inexpensive work at home solutions, then you have come to the right place. I have compiled a list of some very easy and very affordable ways that you can learn to make an income online. I will tell you that most work at home opportunities are unfortunately scams. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

In order to learn to make an online income, there has to be some kind of investment. I am not talking about hundreds of dollars, but to effectively learn how to market on the internet and work from home, I do believe you should be prepared to invest a small amount of time and money.

Making an online income is neither quick nor easy, it takes a great deal of dedication and willingness to learn and lots of motivation. Let's get one thing straight - there are no «get rich quick» programs out there. If there were, I would be swimming in money and so would you. 95% of people who try to make an income from home, fail. This is due to the lack of knowledge, dedication and time that one has to put into this business.

I have spent the better part of 8 months learning and researching various methods of earning an online income. I have done most of the hard work for you. The fact is, without knowledge and know-how, you will probably fail at making money from home. You need a plan and you need to take action. These are the most important things to remember. Please do not sit staring at your computer wondering if there are ways to earn an income from home.

This is why I have come up with a list of inexpensive work at home solutions that will get you started on the road to making an online income. Please take the time to read through each of them, because they have different approaches and methods of making money, along with different price tags.
