How Much Business Experience Should You Have Before You Start Your Own Internet Marketing Podcast? by David Hurley

Author

If the question in the title of this article seems a bit strange, please think again!

You might suppose that anybody wanting to start a free podcast about Internet marketing should first of all have some experience of making money on the Internet, right?

Actually, no, not necessarily! And here's why.

Of course, it would be a definite asset to your business podcast if you already have a lot of experience as a successful Internet marketer and are planning to use your podcast as part of a training package for your subscribers.

However, even if you lack those credentials there is no reason why you cannot make a successful podcast around the theme of Internet marketing.

Both the expert and the beginner can present useful information about Internet marketing to an interested audience. Each is able to provide a helpful and enjoyable online business podcast from his or her own perspective.

While experienced Internet marketers will be able to use their expertise in their podcasts, inexperienced Internet marketers will be able to use their LACK of experience as the starting point for the themes of their podcasts and use the podcast as a medium of exploration to try and fill in the gaps in their knowledge.

The experienced Internet marketing podcaster is like your teacher or coach whereas the inexperienced newbie is like a friend or companion.

The Podcaster As Teacher
This is the most common format for business podcasting. The podcaster-as-teacher is someone who comes over as having a lot of experience of Internet marketing and who is willing to share that experience with you to help you move forward with your own online business. He is the expert and we draw upon his knowledge to improve our own Internet marketing performance.

The podcaster as teacher offers us a lot of free podcast content, but will very likely also offer a paid subscription upgrade where we can access much more detailed information.

The Podcaster As Learner
The newbie Internet marketing podcaster is more like a fellow-learner, someone who is not afraid to ask the "dumb questions" and who can share with you every mistake, blunder and new discovery and have a lot of fun while learning the ropes. A business podcast hosted by an Internet marketing newbie would ideally adopt a "heuristic" approach to its material - that is, the podcaster would "learn through experience", finding what works and what doesn't by trial and error.

Build Your Reputation As An Internet Business Podcaster
For the newbie, it is probably too early to try and add an upgrade option to the free podcast because you are clearly not in any position to brand yourself as an expert just yet.

What you can do, however, is seek out some successful Internet marketers who are experts in their field and try to set up an interview with each of them using Skype.

You can lead up to this by joining some online business forums and getting to know the established marketers who use the forums. Then, when you feel you are ready, send them a private message on the forum asking if they would be interested in being interviewed for your podcast.

This will add some great content to your podcast, and help to build your own reputation as well. After you have been podcasting for about a year you should have gained enough experience of Internet marketing to move you well beyond the "newbie" stage; you will be well on your way to branding yourself as an expert in the field. Your subscribers are now likely to be a mixture of faithful followers and a new generation of newbies.

You will also notice that you are beginning to speak with more authority based on your accumulated experience.

Keep podcasting for another year and during that time start developing some detailed training courses that you can launch as special upgrade services as you move into your third year of podcasting. You will now have established yourself as an expert Internet business podcaster.

Ignorance Is Bliss
So, if you are an Internet marketing newbie and are looking for a good way to start "building your brand", I suggest that you think about setting up a podcast related to your Internet business niche and podcast about all the Internet marketing techniques that you don't know about! You will discover that Internet marketing "ignorance" can be transformed into free podcasting "bliss"!

How To Promote Your Site On Social Bookmarking Sites by Christian Nilsson

Author

There is one thing that all of us are working for: more traffic! We try to create good content on our site, create informative articles and useful blog posts and would like more people to see them. We want traffic, we want people read what we have put so much work in to. One way to get that traffic is by promoting our content on social bookmarking sites, but it only works if you do it correctly. Below are some useful tips to help you generate more visitors from social bookmarking sites.

1. Excellent content. This is probably the most important point. The better your content is, the more likely it is that users will share your content on social bookmarking sites.
   
   
2. Choose an engaging title. Less people will click and read your article if the title is boring. Try to think of an interesting title that tells people how they will benefit from reading your article.
   
   
3. Pick relevant keywords. If you want your article to be found it's crucial to first know what people are searching for. Good keywords will make sure that your intended audience finds your content more easily.
   
   
4. Reinforce the title with a descriptive summary. Most social networking sites lets you add a short summary or description of the link. Use this description to get people to actually click the link after the title has caught their attention.
   
   
5. Be an active user. Become friends with the users on social bookmarking sites and build a relationship with them. If you are an active user your friends can help you promote your links by voting and commenting on them.
   
   
6. Add social bookmarking icons to your site. Adding icons at the bottom of every post to the most common social bookmarking sites makes it a lot easier for people to share your article with others.
   
   
7. Add more links in your content. You could, for example, put links on the bottom of your blog posts to other related posts on your blog. This will increase the traffic to your site and make sure that users stay on your blog for a longer period of time.

Always keep in mind that your goal should always be to create content that is useful to other people. If the content you create is informative and helpful, people will share it, which will help you bring more visitors to your web site. If you follow the steps above, it will become much easier to gain more quality traffic from social bookmarking sites.

The benefit of Facebook

 What can you with your facebook account:

 - It costs nothing, as in $0, for you to copy
   and do exactly the same thing immediately.

 - It requires ZERO selling experience (I've
   seen brand new affiliates making 5 figures
   a month within their first 30 days)

 - It costs ZERO in hosting, bandwidth, staff

   supplies, etc. (Facebook covers the bill)

 - There's NO ADVERTISING of any kind... no
   Google, no PPC, no blogs, no SEO, no JVs
   either...

 - The whole thing can be automated with an
   desktop software program - It takes care
   of everything for you.

In fact, quite literally all you need to do is push
a few buttons to collect thousands of Facebook Fans
and then, post your affiliate links to them...

And yes, Facebook really does allow this.

This is looking like the "new" easiest way to make
money online today ... but, there's no way to know
this gravy train will stay on the tracks.

The greatest viral marketing idea of all time

(BREAKING) Facebook just TURNED DOWN $150 Billion!

			I got this email:	Did you hear the news? Just last night, word came out that a Saudi prince offered to 150 Billion to buy Facebook... and, Zuckerberg turned it down! Crazy, right? I used to think Facebook was just a way for people to show off their newborn babies, and post pics of drunken nights out with their buddies... Turns out I was wrong. In other Facebook news, I was hanging out with all kinds of cool people at the Underground seminar in Washington DC last week, and met this guy making a killing on Facebook... How much? Well he said that he was making $35,000/month just posting affiliate links to fan pages... in markets he knows absolutely nothing about.

Dapatkan trafik dari forum

Anda dah jumpa forum yang sesuai untuk mempromosikan landing
page/blog anda? Selain menggunakan google discussion anda boleh
terus taip di google "keyword anda + forum" nanti anda akan jumpa
banyak lagi forum..

Tapi macam mana kita nak tahu forum tersebut banyak trafik?
kalau tiada trafik, anda hanya buang masa mempromosi di forum tersebut..

Untuk mengetahuinya adalah dengan melihat menggunakan alexa.com
semakin rendah rank alexa semakin tinggi trafik yang datang ke
sesuatu halaman tersebut..

buat masa ni google masih nombor satu dan diikuti facebook no2
tapi..lecehlah kan kalau nak semak satu persatu forum mana yang
banyak trafik..

penyelesainya ialah dengan menggunakan add on seo quake yang boleh
didapati secara percuma dan install ke mozilla atau Google crome anda

selepas anda install anda boleh melihat rank alexa pada toolbar
seoquake anda :) kalau rank alexa bawah 500k tu pun dah
kira tinggi trafik tu...
 

Business Ideas for the Entrepreneur

Business Ideas for the Entrepreneur

Many individuals nowadays prefer to have a home-based job rather than working eight hours each day in the office. Some people are also into franchising; this may sound good but if you want to become a successful entrepreneur, you don’t have to focus entirely on franchising. You should consider other business ideas that you can venture into.

Research can be carried out with ease these days, thanks to the power of the internet. If you conduct your search online, you can find other business ideas that you can use as an entrepreneur. Beginners will benefit a lot from the information they can find online about business ideas.

Because of the many business ideas you can find online, you will often find it hard to choose the ones you like. It’s easy to choose if you use your instincts. For instance, if one business idea feels right, take note of it but if you have second thoughts about another idea, disregard it.

As an entrepreneur, you should investigate further by gathering as much information as possible about the business ideas. True enough, franchise is absolutely a great idea. By choosing this business alternative, you can be the boss of your own business and you can earn unlimited income.

However, according to experts, franchise and other internet businesses promise the same business opportunities. It will all differ on how you handle the business.

Not all individuals who desire to own a business can achieve this goal. You see, being an entrepreneur is hard. There are a lot of factors to consider before you decide to become an entrepreneur. Even if you have the capital to finance the business undertaking, you can’t be sure that it can give you high profits in the future especially if you don’t know how to handle certain business situations.

First and foremost, you must be able to work alone. Once you’re an entrepreneur, you’re already self-employed. It would also be best if you can have the support of your loved ones.

Here is a very good example. As mentioned earlier, further investigation is needed to evaluate the business ideas that you have in your hands. Starting a business from scratch requires a lot of work. Suppose the business that you’re about to put up is also available in franchise, which business idea will you choose?

For the smart entrepreneurs, they will already go for franchising because it requires less work. An established business undertaking is less expensive and less risky. But before you make a final decision, you must be able to weigh all the advantages as well as disadvantages. This is an essential part of choosing the best business idea.

Once you’ve chosen the right business idea, you can spring it into action. Soon enough, you will gain the financial benefits that you’re dreaming of. Whether you choose to start your own business or go for franchising, the most important thing is to develop goodwill. All the actions of the entrepreneur must be focused in attaining all the objectives of the business.

If you want to become an entrepreneur, you must research all the business ideas that you can get online. The internet can help you a lot. Also, don’t forget to develop the needed traits and skills as an entrepreneur.

You can get many resources through the internet or you can talk to an established entrepreneur so that you will have an idea on what you’re about to undertake.

kepentingan traffik

Secanggih mana pun sesuatu website tempat

kita ingin berjual atau menjalankan perniagaan

online kita, ianya akan menjadi sia-sia jika

website tersebut tidak mempunyai pengunjung.

 

Ibarat kedai yang sudah diubahsuai dengan

pelbagai kemewahan tapi lokasinya ditengah hutan

tanpa ada potensi untuk orang datang membeli.

 

Jadi kunci pertama untuk anda berjaya adalah

berapa ramai pengunjung atau dalam bahasa

internetnya trafik yang boleh anda dapatkan ke website

anda.
