How to Choose the Best Email Safelist Providers

Jul 17, 2008 in Email Marketing, Internet Marketing

Safelists are lists which contain email addresses of individuals who have agreed to receive your advertisement. Safelists are “safe” because they provide a place for people to advertise without fear of being accused of spamming.

Spamming or sending unsolicited email can get you into all sorts of trouble with your Internet Service Provider if enough people complain.

Safelists have also been defined as being like a club where the members are typically webmasters and Internet marketers. They are people who have websites that they want others to visit, products they want to sell, or affiliate programs they are promoting.

Safelists are not considered to be among the top marketing methods in use such as Pay Per Click, article marketing, solo ads, ezines and so on. They are good to use as a list building tool because they are populated with internet marketers, however they are far from perfect and many Internet Marketers feel they are useless.

They are loved by some, hated by others and almost unheard of outside of the online marketing community.As with most other Internet Marketing strategies safelist marketing can be productive if it is done correctly.

There are basically two types of safelists. First there is the regular, everyday, run of the mill type where you can send to other members and they can email their offers to you. Whether you choose to look at the email is entirely up to you.

However if you want the other members to open your email advertisements it might be a good idea to scan through your inbox and open the ones that interest you.While a regular safelist allows you to post during a certain time frame, such as every 2 or 3 days, they also offer other types of advertising.

You can usually purchase banner impressions or text ad spots to be shown in the member’s area. You can also purchase contact solo ads which are sent out to the contact email address of the entire member list which can be very effective.

The second type, and more effective of the two, is the credit based safelist program. These programs require members to accumulate and spend credits, or points, in order to send their ads to the list. The primary method of earning credits is reading the emails sent to your list address by other members and clicking on special credit links contained in these messages.

For this reason, the ads you send to credit-based lists are more likely to be opened. Some lists offer the same amount of credits in every email you read, some offer a random amount of credits, and some only offer credits in random emails. Most programs offer the occasional bonus credits which can get you anywhere from tens to thousands of credits at a time.

Most of these lists, if not all of them, allow you to purchase credits, too. This can happen in the form of an upgrade or a straight out purchase. These credits are primarily used to send your ads to the safelist, but some lists allow you to trade your credits for banner impressions and text ads.

There are a few variations of credit-based safelists. In addition to the standard model mentioned above, there are sites that require you to log in to view ads rather than having them mailed to you, and sites that require you to wait for a timer to count down before you earn credits.

These days there are a lot of safelist hosting companies that make it easy for anyone to start a safelist program very cheaply. This usually results in communities on the Web with dozens, even hundreds of cookie-cutter safelists that look nearly identical; they usually have no graphics and some meaningless text and only a couple of hundred members.

These should be avoided because they are only a waste of time. If you decide to include safelist marketing as a tactic in your internet marketing strategy be careful which list providers you choose and this will help make your safelist strategy a success.

You first come onto the Internet and all you’re bombarded with is promotions and offers all telling you the same thing - making money from affiliate marketing is easy!

“If Making Money From Affiliate Marketing Is So Easy Why Isn’t Everyone Cashing In On It Like I Am?”

You see - I’ve been online since 1995. I have literally spent thousands and thousands of hours learning affiliate marketing and spending small fortunes on affiliate marketing products.

..so why has it been so difficult for you to make money as an affiliate?

You have not been told the full story.

This is an all-time classic and I hear about it all the time. You buy a course or program and it leaves out some key element. Don’t you just HATE that?!

You start getting into the course and you think “this is pretty good” and then all of sudden something comes up where you are ASSUMED to have already made a giant leap that you don’t know how to do.

You feel ripped off and alone.

This is a feeling you know just as well as I do. In the 13 plus years that I’ve been online learning all this stuff I have been ripped off, let down and burned more times than I care to remember but you know what?

Top Five Reasons Why Affiliate Marketers Fail

Jul 16, 2008 in Affiliate Marketing, Internet Marketing

Hi! It’s Wednesday July 16, 2008 and if you recall awhile ago I mentioned how I was trying to get back into reading for at least an hour every day. Unfortunately things got very busy and I haven’t picked up the book I was reading for a couple of weeks, until today.

The book is called “The Greatness Guide” by Robin Sharma and I’m really enjoying it. It’s very easy to read and very interesting because he provides a lot of his own life experience.

In one of the chapters I read today he asks the question “Do You Play”? He says adults are only deteriorated children and we get this way when we assume the responsibilities of life. He asks “What would your life look like if there was more play”?

He says make time to play, to be a little reckless and silly. Be imaginative at work and bring curiosity back to your days. Get back to that sense of wonder you knew when life was all about make-believe, riding your bike and enjoying every second of this journey called living.

And the next time someone looks at you with your briefcase, business suit and serious face -and asks what you plan on doing today , I invite you to give the only reply that matters: “I’m going out to play.”

I guess we all take it a little too serious at times and we should make more time to try to enjoy it the way I’m sure it was meant to be enjoyed.

Having said that it’s time to get down to the topic for today which is another question, Why Affiliate Marketers Fail? I’ve come up with what I think may be the top five reasons, although there is a lot of room for debate on that one. Anyway, I hope you enjoy today’s entry….

Top Five Reasons Why Affiliate Marketers Fail

Affiliate marketing is a web-based marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate’s marketing efforts. Affiliate marketing is also the name of the industry where a number of different companies and individuals are performing this form of internet marketing.

This includes affiliate networks, affiliate management companies and in-house affiliate managers, specialized 3rd party vendors, and various types of affiliates or publishers who promote the products and services of their partners. Affiliate marketing is driven by entrepreneurs who are working at the forefront of internet marketing.

Affiliate marketing is supposed to be about long-term and mutually beneficial partnerships between product owners and affiliates. It’s a fun and exciting home business that you can run from your personal computer or laptop. Affiliate Marketing is basically a revenue sharing venture between a website owner and an online merchant and is considered one of the best ways to earn money online.

Affiliate marketing is often called; performance based marketing, because you don’t pay the advertiser or product promoter until they sell something. Affiliate marketing is a solid and very effective web marketing tool and appears to be, at the moment, an industry dominated by top performing super affiliates.

Marketing material is provided by most of the product owners or companies but promoting a particular product can be a challenge if you are new to internet marketing and don’t have the proper guidance.

Most Affiliates engage in a variety of internet marketing tactics but one of the most popular seems to be Banner Advertising. Affiliates place the ads of companies on their websites and place a tracking code for these ads into their HTML code. This allows Affiliates to track how many visitors actually clicked on the banner to visit the company’s website.

Many Affiliates fail for numerous reasons but there are several that seem to stand out. First of all many of them don’t realize how much work is involved in marketing a product or service online. They go into the program thinking if they build it they will come.

Unfortunately that only worked for “The Field of Dreams” which is where some of them seem to be residing. After you’ve built your website then the real fun begins when you try to attract targeted traffic to your products.

Another concept some Affiliates don’t seem to grasp is that you not only want first time visitors but you also want return customers and this is where list building comes into play.

You need an Opt-in Form or Squeeze Page on your site with a free offer to entice them to enter their vital information such as their email address and name. When you have your list built you can then email different offers to your members when they become available.

Some Affiliates also make the mistake, when they’re starting out, of paying for traffic. They either get caught up in the nightmare of Adwords, which is what it can be if you don’t know what you’re doing, or they throw money at sites who offer 10,000 targeted visitors a day for $20.00.

Adwords and Google is a great traffic generation tool for experienced marketers who know how to get their site ranked as cheaply as possible.

Other Affiliates make the mistake of not understanding or using the products their promoting. You have to believe in what you’re selling and know what problem the product can solve or what advantage it can offer the perspective client.

And finally, going back to the idea if you build it they will come, this only works if you fill your website with a lot of quality content. Content drives traffic which drives sales. Without quality content you are doomed to failure even before you begin.

Affiliate marketing is a legitimate and effective method of making money online, but if you don’t have the proper marketing plan in place you won’t be around for the long term.

How to Create Quality Content to Attract Targeted Traffic to Your Website

Jul 15, 2008 in Content, Internet Marketing

Content is generally designed to produce traffic, to bring people to your website to buy your products or services. Content should be created with the intended audience in mind.

It is the expression and communication of information and is the real thing, which visitors will spot immediately when they first visit your website. Content is only as strong as it’s appeal to your visitors and is usually given away in order to attract people to goods and services they are willing to pay for.

This leads us to the question: What are the best types of content to attract people to your products and services?

Articles have long been regarded as one of the best internet marketing strategies in use today. People like to read well written articles about a subject they are naturally interested in.

Your articles should be tailored to attract your target audience and also formed around the product or service you are promoting. Your article also needs to be keyword rich so as to attract the various search engines and gain a ranking near the top of their list.

Downloads or free downloads are also an attraction to surfers online. Anything that can make someone’s life a little easier, for example a free website building tool or HTML editor, is very popular. People like tools and tools which can save them time are a bonus.

People also like to be entertained and this is where multimedia can play a large role in attracting potential customers to your site. An audio message welcoming your guests sprinkled with a little humor can add to your quality content.

Movie trailers, comedy clips and music are also nice additions to any website. Again you select your content with your target audience in mind.

Interactive multimedia is also a big attraction online. For example, you could have a daily quiz or a weekly survey where you incorporate some type of prize for the person with the highest score. Again you could construct the questions around what you’re promoting or the type of visitor you want to attract.

Sports are always a big draw, especially if you’re going after a male oriented audience for your product or service. You could incorporate a sports update feed from one of the free content providers which displays up to the minute scores and highlights of different events in the sporting world.

Along the same lines of video you could create your own recording which incorporates the product or service you are selling in a way which stands out or is out of the norm.

Instructional videos are also popular. Teach your users how to do something. If you’re targeting Internet Marketers for example, an article or instructional video on how to generate traffic to your website or how to write killer classified ads would be a good draw.

When it comes to quality content the ideas are endless and are only limited by your imagination. But always remember to keep your target audience in mind and you’ll get the targeted traffic you need to succeed online.

Squeeze Pages Are Necessary For An Effective List Building Strategy

Jul 14, 2008 in Email Marketing, Internet Marketing

Welcome everyone! It’s Monday July 14th, and another humid day here in Fredericton, New Brunswick Canada. Not that I’m complaining. It’s great to finally see summer no matter how hot it gets.

Today I’m going to switch gears a little and change the topic of my more recent entries from Social Media Marketing to another very important aspect of Internet Marketing in general and that’s building a mailing list. Something that’s near and dear to every Internet Marketer online today.

However I’m going to focus on one particular aspect of building a list and that’s using a Squeeze Page or a Landing Page or a Capture Page as they are sometimes called. To my way of thinking a Squeeze page is vital to building a reliable and safe email list.

So without further delay here is today’s entry. I hope you enjoy…

Squeeze Pages are Necessary for an Effective List Building Strategy

Squeeze pages are landing pages created to solicit opt-in email addresses from prospective subscribers. Squeeze Pages are often used in conjunction with an email auto responder to begin delivering information as soon as the visitor confirms their email address. They are a vital tool for online marketing.

Squeeze pages are actually intended to gather the email addresses of people who are interested in a certain product or service and to get their consent as well. They are considered by some as the single most powerful list building strategy ever devised and are designed to maximize the effectiveness of your online advertising.

Squeeze pages are also known as “lead capture pages” or sometimes just “capture pages” or “landing pages”. Squeeze pages are very affective and can be used in many different ways. They are one of the most important components of a successful internet business.

To ease consumer concerns, experienced online businesses create Squeeze Pages that detail what the subscriber will be receiving and the businesses privacy standards. Businesses that responsibly use Squeeze Pages have experienced substantial boosts in the visitor-to-subscriber conversion rates.

As a general rule, Internet Marketers try to keep the content on their Squeeze Pages to a minimum. Navigation and hyper links are almost always absent from typical squeeze pages because you don’t want to encourage the visitor to click away from the page. Promising information upon completion of confirming their email address has proven to be an effective method of increasing opt-ins using Squeeze Pages.

New technology has also led to adding voice or video to Squeeze Pages in an effort to capture the visitor’s attention. In response, marketers have begun to increase the amount of content included on Squeeze pages to ensure that their page maintains its search rankings. Squeeze pages also often use incentives, such as free reports, internet marketing mini-courses, or web-based tools, to get visitors to enter their email addresses.

Some other advantages of Squeeze Pages are: if you use dedicated addresses for your pages, you won’t have to worry about checking your links or making sure that multiple pages compliment each other visually. Squeeze pages are easy to optimize because of the long copy style and the amount of explanation you will need to use to convince visitors to opt in to your list.

Once you have selected your keywords, you can quickly write copy for your squeeze pages around your keywords, without having to check the keyword density for multiple pages. And squeeze pages allow you to easily segment different product groups you may have available on your main website.

You can use squeeze pages to put your visitors in the correct mind set to be receptive to product offers, and once they have subscribed to your list, you can use email marketing to further persuade your prospects to buy certain products. After the sale, you can introduce them to other products on your website, or direct them to new squeeze pages to promote different products.

Squeeze pages are created with only one aim, to capture visitors and convert them to subscribers. Doorway Pages, Landing Pages or Squeeze Pages are some of the most dollar generating pages that you can build.

Squeeze pages are very effective tools if they are used correctly and should be the foundation of your list building efforts. Your list will generate profits for years to come and it’s for this reason a lot of thought and consideration should go into its construction before adding it to your website.

Well I found myself in the same position - I knew a little bit about social marketing, enough to be dangerous. But the problem was that although I was spending plenty of hours on these websites I just wasn’t getting any traffic or sales.

That’s when I started to look around and realized that wouldn’t it be great if there was a way you could watch how to properly get set up with the social sites in such a way that you were guaranteed to get lots of traffic?

Four Pitfalls Associated with any Social Media Marketing Campaign

Jul 13, 2008 in Internet Marketing, Social Media Marketing

The most recent phenomenon to hit the Internet Marketing scene in recent years is another form of Internet Marketing in its own right called Social Media Marketing. While Social Media Marketing has the capability to drive hordes of targeted traffic to your website there are still some pitfalls involved which you should try to avoid, at all costs, if you want to be successful with your Social Media Marketing campaign.

First of all one of the major targets of Social Media Marketers are the Social Media Websites themselves, for example, MySpace and Facebook. In order to target and market to these sites you have to join and attract friends to your profile page. The first thing to avoid after joining is becoming involved with any of the software available which allows you to send mass invitations to certain groups you may have targeted inviting them to be your friends.

Everyone in the group receives a generic message inviting them to be your friend. If the site owner or webmaster discovers you are using this software you could be banned for life or, at the very least, have your membership suspended for a period of time. This can result in giving you a bad reputation within this community and make it very difficult to build any type of trusting relationship you need to establish for your future marketing activities on this site.

Another pitfall to be avoided is related somewhat to the first one demonstrating how any type of news, good or bad, travels fast within these Social Media Networks. When you approach your Social Media Marketing campaign and any of these Social Media websites you have to do so with the right attitude.

By saying this I mean you have to be open and honest about your intentions. You have to be Transparent. If you try to deceive any of your Social Networks it will usually come back to haunt you which can, again, result in a tarnished if not trashed reputation within these internet communities.

A wise Internet Marketer once told me when it comes to Internet Marketing the more you give the more you receive. This brings us to a third pitfall which, if not avoided, can stall your Social Media Marketing campaign as if it were mired in quicksand. And this is, always be available and eager to offer help and advice.

But don’t offer advice if it’s not requested. If you are available to answer a Blog or Forum question for someone who is stuck in a particular situation and needs help then by all means try to help. This will pay big dividends later on when needed because your reputation will precede you which, in this case, will be a good thing.

A fourth and final pitfall has to do with knowing who you are approaching. In other words you wouldn’t take a trip to Singapore without doing a little preparation and study about the culture and practices of these particular people. You should take the same approach when planning your Social Media campaign.

If you’re approaching communities such as Facebook or MySpace, learn the proper etiquette and above all try not to offend anyone. Especially try not to offend anyone who wields any kind of influence or power over the other members of the community. This too can result in a quick death for your Social Media Marketing campaign.

If you approach your promotion with these four pitfalls in mind and put in the necessary planning and preparation as you would with any marketing campaign then you will be much more likely to encounter success with your Social Media strategy.

The Joy of Being Ranked on Google

Jul 12, 2008 in Internet Marketing, Social Media Marketing

Yesterday Afternoon I sat down at my PC to write another article to post on my Blog and I decided to do a search of Social Media Marketing which is the topic I’ve been concentrating on for the past couple of weeks.

I typed “The Advantages of Social Media Marketing” into the Google search window and hit search. Much to my surprise and amazement when I checked the results there I was number two on the list on the first page right below Scholarly Articles.

I scrolled further down the page and there I was again, number eight on the first page. I was very happy about the results to say the least. Being so highly ranked on Google makes it all seem worthwhile.

All the hours spent at the keyboard pumping out Articles and sometimes wondering if anyone reads them or learns anything from them and then to have Google answer those two questions for me was a satisfying moment.

Feeling pretty pleased with myself I decided to do another search but this time for “Social Media Marketing Techniques” and this time I was ranked number seven on the first page. I decided to stop after that and not press my luck.

When I told my wife she was happier than I was which made it that much more special. Because she knows the effort I put into my Blog on a daily basis and she was so pleased that I was finally rewarded for it.

With 200 million searches per day Google is now a $150 billion company and a seemingly unstoppable corporate juggernaut and is the place to be ranked if you want to be successful online. Google is simply a tool to help find information and is just an extended information warehouse.

It is far and away the best search engine out there and given that Google is so dominant, it’s easy to understand why so many Internet Marketers want to be seen on the first page of a search.

With Google being so vital to the web, whatever stance it takes on any type of online policy has massive implications for the rest of the web, and for other search engines in particular.

I believe from my experience the two major factors which determine your ranking on Google are first and foremost having very good content that people are interested in and want to link to. Of course if you’ve been online for any length of time whatsoever I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase “Content is King”.

Needless to say I’m a firm believer in this and I guess this belief is starting to pay off. Also having keyword rich Articles is also a big help but not to the extent that these words are hampering the flow and meaning of the message you’re trying to get across.

With over 50% of all Internet users using Google Internet Marketers cannot afford not to be ranked on the world’s most popular search engine.

Content is Just as Important on Social Media Profiles as it is on Blogs

Jul 11, 2008 in Internet Marketing, Social Media Marketing

It’s Friday, July 11th. and the weekend is upon us. Because I’m in the midst of a Social Media Marketing campaign to promote the launch of “Social Traffic Explosion” my focus for the past couple of weeks has been on the new Web 2.0 or the Social Media Market, as you may have noticed.

Today I want to continue down that road by examining how Internet Marketers can establish themselves within the Social Media network in order to target an audience for their products or services. So I thought about what would be the most important part of getting established within a Social Media network.

I realized that as with any website or Blog Content is the most important attraction on any Social Media profile page. With this in mind let’s move on to today’s article. I hope you enjoy it and have a great weekend!

With Social Media being the new phenomenon online today it would be ludicrous for any Internet Marketer to ignore it when it comes to formulating a strategy for an Internet Marketing campaign.

As with most marketing promotions your success or failure is usually determined by your approach. The most important part of a successful socialization plan when it comes to MySpace and Facebook, for example, is the content on your profile page.

Content drives traffic which drives sales when it comes to your Blog as well as your Social Media profile page. The richer and more varied the content the more people it will attract and the faster word will spread about your page and what it has to offer.

Try to make it entertaining in terms of what’s available for visitors to interact with as well as by adding a touch of humor because everyone likes to laugh. For interactivity you could have your favorite music highlighted for them to click on and sample. You could add a music video or two as well as some comedy clips or maybe have a joke of the day feature.

One important factor not to ignore is your own personal story. The objective of these sites after all is to meet and get to know new people. And most everyone likes reading or hearing about someone else’s life experience.

This doesn’t mean you have to reveal all of the sordid details but try to convey your likes and dislikes in your own style. Don’t try to be someone you’re not. People want to get to know the real you.

Also try to make your profile informative. Everyone has an expertise in some area, so share this knowledge with your guests who view your story and before you know it you’ll have more online friends than you know what to do with.

If you keep giving people what they want they’ll keep coming back for more and the best way to do this is to write about what you know and are comfortable with.

Pictures are also a great way to attract visitors. You can demonstrate some of your interests through photographs of some of your favorite activities. Pictures also add a more personal element to the page giving the viewer a better chance to get to know you and appreciate what you do.

If you’re an avid reader, for example, you could possibly start a book of the month feature where you discuss or critique a particular book you may be reading. You could ask visitors who are also readers to leave comments and maybe start a book of the month club.

With any relationship, be it online or in your day-to-day life, the important thing is to maintain contact. On any of these Social Media websites this means visiting on a regular basis to let people know what’s happening in your life. It also means updating your Profile page on a regular basis.

Any Internet Marketer who can follow these simple steps should enjoy great success in the new Web 2.0 or Social Media market not only professionally but also personally. And always remember the old adage “Content is King.”

How to be Successful Marketing to the New Web 2.0 or to the Social Media Market

Jul 10, 2008 in Internet Marketing, Social Media Marketing

According to the Free Dictionary online the definition of success is as follows:1. The achievement of something attempted. 2. The attainment of wealth, fame, or position. 3. A person or thing that is successful. [Latin successus an outcome]

In order to achieve any of the above criteria marketing to the new Web 2.0 or in the Social Media Arena as we know it today you, first of all, have to know your target audience and what makes them tick. What drives them to spend so much time in the Social Media environment?

What are they hoping to gain from these activities? What are their needs and wants? And most importantly; how do they feel about being targeted as a potential consumer in this situation?

To achieve any level of success with the Social Media Market each of these areas must be addressed in detail. First of all, why do people spend so much of their free time on MySpace or Facebook? What is the lure or attraction of these Social Media sites?

On some of the forums, such as MySun, people go so far as to say it’s an addiction. One female contributor is quoted as saying, “I was addicted to MySpace…wanted to sit there 24/7. I’ve deleted it now, can’t be doing with it anymore, as for facebook…well I’m on there now but I think I’m gonna delete that too….its nuts.”

Another 26 year old female said, “I love Facebook, my sister got me hooked on it. Before then I didn’t see the fuss but now I do. The more you do on it, the more you love it.”

And yet another participant, a 34 year old male stated, “I use myspace to keep in touch with everyone, not addicted though…pop in once and a while, and it’s helpful….found friends from years ago.”

From each of those comments you see a common thread emerging. Two of the respondents mentioned “addiction” and one used the phrase “hooked on it”. All of these people constitute a potential target market, for Internet Marketers, no matter what their reasons for spending so much time socializing online.

So it follows that in order to be successful marketing to this audience the marketer too must spend time online socializing with and gaining the trust of these potential clients. In order to accomplish this you have to be transparent with these individuals. Whatever you do don’t try to deceive them by pretending to be someone you’re not just to gain favor with them.

These people are there to make friends and establish relationships and that has to be the goal of the Internet Marketer as well. You have to respect their environment and their reasons for being there. If not you’re doomed to failure even before you begin.

Secondly what are their needs and wants? In order to determine this, the Internet Marketer must again establish relationships with these people in order to find out what their situation is and what they are looking for at the present time and in the future.

If they aren’t looking for what you’re selling then at least you have made a friend online and maybe the next person will be in the market for your product or service.

Finally how do they feel about being targeted by Internet Marketers in their environment? Again in this situation the Internet Marketer must always keep in mind that these people are in what they consider to be their space, pardon the pun.

You must respect their feelings and approach them as if you’re in their home. The Internet Marketer can be viewed as an outsider or an intruder if they’re too aggressive and lose sight of the fact that they’re on their turf, so to speak.

Finally, along with being genuine in your approach, have fun with it as well. That’s what these sites are meant to be for the most part and if you’re having fun and being honest about you’re intentions then you can be very successful marketing to the Social Media audience online.

So many people have been saying for months now that using the social marketing sites like MySpace, Facebook and the others is a great way to get traffic.

But there’s been a problem and that’s been no one has ever showed you how to do actually do it.

Not only that but a lot of these social sites don’t like you posting your website links and affiliate links all over the place so you can sometimes end up getting blocked or just not getting any traffic.

Well I found myself in the same position - I knew a little bit about social marketing, enough to be dangerous. But the problem was that although I was spending plenty of hours on these websites I just wasn’t getting any traffic or sales.

That’s when I started to look around and realized that wouldn’t it be great if there was a way you could watch how to properly get set up with the social sites in such a way that you were guaranteed to get lots of traffic?
