If your doctor advised you to run, jog or walk for the sake of your health, I’d advise you to write for the sake of your wealth…….. from Internet business!

Since I ventured into this very interesting and exciting Internet marketing business, I’ve been writing for some time, something I happen to be enjoying doing. Since the day I learnt to construct my first complete and grammatically correct sentence in English, writing to covey to others my thought, ideas and opinions has been a very fascinating process for me.

For many years friends and business associates have been seeking my input to assess, correct and improve their own writings. Before I knew it, strangers from the Internet have also approached me to help them in copy writing their sales letters and web content.

Having been immersed in the intriguing English language for about 4 decades and after writing articles pertaining to Polymer Technology, punctuated with occasional feature articles, I now find myself in the midst of Internet business that “demands” that I should start to delve into the possibility of writing about Internet-online-home-based-businesses. What a refreshing and welcoming prospect!

Despite my “advanced” age, Internet online business is relatively new and foreign to me compared to Polymer Technology. A considerable amount of effort in the form of research work has to be put in through both primary (mainly interviews) and secondary market research (Library and the Web). The part I enjoyed most was the interviews I held with the so-called Internet “gurus” most of whom are young enough to be my children!

It has therefore been a very challenging, interesting and rewarding experience. Equally, the “gurus” found the interviews utterly amusing, sometimes jaw-dropping with disbelief, having to answer questions on matters that are so basic and simple (to them but definitely not to me!) which they have taken for granted for so long!

You must be agonizing yourself with burning questions in your mind at this juncture wanting to know what writing has got to do with Internet business, that is if you happened to belong to the uninitiated-soon-to-be-obsolete group of individuals. Relax, I’d put you out of your agony this very instant!

You see, I’ve found to my pleasant surprise that one of the best ways to drive traffic to your website is by writing articles. Of course, by “driving traffic”, I’m not for a moment suggesting that you rev your car and zoom it aggressively towards some one! “Driving traffic” simply means directing the traffic flow of visitors to your websites. Needless to say, visitors are your potential customers.

Getting your own articles written, distributed and published on the Internet is one of the very best Internet marketing techniques in existence.

Once you have become an author of an article containing quality content, you become an instant authority. When visitors locate and read your article they would obtain some useful information from it. As a result they would most probably appreciate you. When appreciation turns into trust, it is very likely that they would click the link in your article resource box to visit your websites to get more information. The “resource box” is a special space at the end of your article allocated for a short description of the author with the all important URLs of his websites.

Chances of them signing up with you in one of your recommended business opportunities or buy one of your recommended products or services would be greatly boosted.

You get the idea? Of course you do!

The question is how to write the relevant articles which would demand some of your effort and time?

If you have a flare in writing and enjoy doing it, you might decide to write your own articles. You could follow the steps I mentioned above. Otherwise you could join some article cooperatives to get access to private label articles (meaning using others’ articles) or hire someone to write articles for you. Of course you know now that I’ve chosen to do my own writing as it gives me a sense of achievement and satisfaction knowing that my own articles are touching and benefiting many people across the globe!

The following e-mail is one of the many which I have been very delightfully receiving:

Subject: YOUR ARTICLE SUBMISSION – LinkGrinder.com

Dear John Woon,

Thank you for submitting your article titled ‘Come Blog with Me and Ride the Crest of The Blogging Wave of Internet Business’ to Linkgrinder.com. Your article has been approved and is now in the process of being indexed by the search engines. You should be able to find your article on our website within the next couple days.

Thank you Again!

http://www.linkgrinder.com

==============================================================

Note the e-mail says “…Your article…..is now in the process of being indexed by the search engines…”

Once my article is indexed by the search engines, it means that they (the search engines) love it! The ranking of my website would be enhanced and this in turn would lead to an increase in the popularity of my website.

By virtue of the Internet etiquette, authors quite often allow others to re-print their articles for further publication in other ezines, newsletters, websites etc on condition that the content of the “resource box” be left untouched. This allows the new groups of readers to still be able to click on the authors’ URLs.

Hence, through this simple process, your website could be spread like a virus. Many Internet marketers refer this to as “VIRAL MARKETING”. This is by and large my main objective of writing. The joy I obtain in doing so is incidental but definitely a welcome bonus!

The next question is how can you ensure that your articles will reach the maximum amount of potential web visitors? To do so, you have to submit your articles to Web version of publishers.

I normally submit my articles to Article Directories, Article list/Newsletters and Ezine Directories. This could be done either manually by yourself or get some organizations to do it on your behalf by paying them a monthly fee. It is tedious to do it yourself manually because there are at least hundreds of directories in the Net. However the biggest benefit of submitting your article by hand is that it’s absolutely free.

Organizations who charge a fee for doing this are using software that allows them to submit articles to hundreds, if not thousands of interested parties in an instant just by the click of the mouse.

I hope you now realize the power of writing in creating wealth in your Internet business.

If you’re in Internet business but have not written a single article, it’s high time you did.

If you’re one of those who’re still groping in the dark not knowing whether or when to start your Internet business, please remember the wise words of Bill Gates: “There’ll be two types of business in the years 2000’s : those online… and those out of business!”

Adsense ads are similar to Adword ads, but the former has a great impact in the affiliate marketing sphere. There are several advantages in joining Google Adsense;

•Adsense is too simple and free to join
•You can easily paste a bit of adsense code into your pages.
•You need not spend more time and effort in finding advertisers.
•Google can provide you highly relevant ads that match the content on your web pages.
•It helps you to save more time, as you are relieved from the problem of selecting different ads for various pages.
•Adsense is ideal for you, if you are a beginner internet marketer. You can use it even if you are an expert, as it offers the best possible way to earn more profits.
•As Google is responsible for finding the best ads for your page, you can pay more attention to provide well written content.
•Adsense provides easy to understand stats and you would not find any trouble in recognizing them.
•Adsense allows you to filter up to 200 URLs. You can block ads, which you find less qualified for your site.
•Adsense is suitable for you, if you own a single small website. You can simply apply a bit of code into your site and can get relevant text ads on your pages almost instantly.
•It is also perfect, if you own several sites, as you need to apply the code only once.

Though Adsense offers several advantages, it has a flip side also. However, you can overcome such problems easily, if you learn the basics of making money with Google Adsense. You can then start making huge online profits. You can find some resources in the internet that teach you Adsense secrets. You can learn how to use the latest techniques that help maximize your Adsense potential.

Adsense is an effective way to increase your traffic and understanding it better can help you run your online business more profitably. If the advertisers are willing to pay more per click, you can earn more. You need to find out the niche advertisers who are ready to spend more money. The most effectual method to find the niche advertiser is to research the keywords. It is worth deciding on finding keywords that have an average cpc ranging from $18 to $20. The high rated keywords in this range are credit card, free credit reports, website hosting and consolidate debt. You need to work hard in order to find which one would be suitable for an Adsense monetized site.

If you want to earn lucrative profits using Adsense, you need to put forth your efforts to find and use effective, targeted keywords. If you know the buzz words related to a particular product or market, you can then create a word list easily. However, if you cannot create such list, you need to use software, which helps to define appropriate keywords. It is also important to use the words that link to the product or service that you are marketing.

You can increase your Adsense revenue by using channels. You can use logical channel names to distinguish several ad units. You can use URL channels to determine the performance of your web pages and to get an understanding about the performance of your sub domains.

Some internet marketers struggle to earn money with Adsense, as they do not know the right techniques. On the other hand, there are some marketers who make substantial money with Adsense alone. You can gain more profits without spending more time by using the appropriate Adsense techniques. You can double or triple your income by placing ads on your sites. You can spend more time with your family and friends leaving all the work to your Adsense site to earn good profits. However, you need to take some efforts to find the techniques that really work.

Social networking sites where originally intended to be merely online communities where people can gather and share interests and opinions. Due to the growing popularity of many social networks they soon caught the eye of the internet marketing community. A social platform with a large membership base represented fertile grounds for marketing goods and services.

Now many entrepreneurs have flooded these social sites for the purpose of marketing online.  The splash they have made however has often times been awkward and unwelcome by many site members. The need to keep in mind that these online communities are really intended for socializing is crucial. There is a way to effectively conduct your business in a way that is less awkward for you and more welcomed by site members.

Here are 3 points you’ll need to keep in mind when approaching any social platform for the purpose of marketing online:

You Can’t Please Everybody

If you’re use to hiding behind copywriting then the interacting can be a bit of a shock. Guess what, that is why they call it ’social’ marketing. Remember this is how you interrelate with people offline … has it been that long?

Expect a healthy amount of ‘give and take’ in and amongst site members. This interaction should also include you and don’t expect that everybody will agree with your views or opinions. What makes social marketing so effective is the immediate feedback you can expect and this likely will be directed right at you. Take nothing personal and learn to benefit from any criticism you may receive.

Engage in Discussions

When I mention engaging in conversations I don’t mean listening in on them. Make yourself known and offer input where you feel you can contribute in a positive manner. If the subject is popular yet you’re not that familiar with it then listen up and learn.

Don’t be afraid to ask a question being this is a great way to meet and bond with others. The person you ask questions of today may be your customer or even mentor tomorrow!

Don’t Overextend Yourself

As you become more comfortable interacting on various social networks you may be tempted to join some others and you should. However do keep in mind that to get the most out of any one site will take some time and effort on your part since you need to be building relationships with the other members. Be reasonable with the number of sites you choose to become active at so that you don’t overextend yourself thereby diminishing your own efforts.

To conduct business on any of the social networking sites you first need to gain the acceptance of other members. Participating in discussions and making positive contributions with your comments or opinions is a key first step. Social sites are based upon the members building relationships.  If your initial focus is business any future marketing efforts likely will be ineffective. So make yourself comfortable, make some friends, and then use this base to grow your business into the future.

There are 2 things that seem to put stress on a person probably more than anything else. Money and trying to make money. It’s comforting to know that one of the best online money making programs for beginners was, ready for this, written by someone that started out from the bottom themselves with the exact same problems.

How is your relationship with your computer? For most it’s not very good. I’m sure there have been times that you have just about had it with the thing. Don’t take it out on your computer though, most of the time we have brought problems on ourselves.

We all hate error messages, and snippy little e-mails saying that “you did this wrong…. that’s wrong, everything is wrong!”  Eventually, many people just gave up on trying to make money online.  For most it is like something that is just barely out of reach.

One of the big problems is that the most popular money making programs are written by people that forgot what it’s like to be new.  These guys seem to think that building web pages, using FTP programs, and creating PDFs is common knowledge. The thing is most of us just don’t have the experience and knowledge that these guys take for granted that we should.  It almost seems that they are cursed by that knowledge and cannot effectively communicate with someone brand new to the whole Internet Marketing thing.

Well someone came out with a program designed for especially for beginners.  His Name is Travis Sago and he has a really good free course called The Bum Marketing Method that has been used by more than 40,000 people worldwide.

The great thing about it is that it’s simple, straight forward and honest (sadly, more than you can say for most programs out there).  His down to earth approach at teaching is very refreshing.  It’s not written with a bunch of complicated technical jargon but rather in a way that everyone, even me, can understand and implement what’s being taught.

So, what is the best online money making program for beginners?  The Bum Marketing Method get’s my vote as one of the best… at least to get you started and making some money online… and you can’t beat the free price tag.  You won’t be quitting your day job right away but it will definatley help to get you started in making money online.

A glance on what is Twitter. Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co-workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?

This network is one of many ways for you to meet yourself online. Twitter asks you things like “What are you doing?” which gets us thinking about what I’m actually doing right now. Typically, we don’t realize what we’re doing or thinking until we’re asked, at which point we’re compelled to think about it, even if the asker was in fact a social networking site.

In March 2009, a Nielsen.com blog ranked Twitter as the fastest-growing site in the Member Communities category for February 2009. Twitter had a monthly growth of 1382%, Zimbio of 240%, followed by Facebook with an increase of 228%.

Because of such a high popularity that Twitter has created, people are constantly looking for a way on how to twitter, some twitter tips, who is the best twitter which in this case twitter refers to a Twitter user. Some programmers even created software that is refer to as twitter tools. Unofficially, twitter is a word now, where twittering is known as the verbs.

Now, I’m going to talk about the misuse of Twitter, the misuse of twitter tools to be exact. There is some software that let you automate your tweet. Well, a lot of people use this kind of software to pretend friendly which is actually good but they are using it the wrong way or maybe the worst way.

What I’m talking about is they are abusing twitter using the tools; all they are twittering about is sales, sales, and sales. Some even use automated Direct Messages to instantly message you when you follow them. Now let me show you how to not twitter your account to dead with messages will look like this:

1. Hello there, thanks for the follow. Want to know how to earn $576K within a year online? Check this out. (They will put a link that leads to their capture page or some even worse to their affiliate page.)

2. Hi there, do you want to make money online? This is the best marketing system ever. Don’t believe it, just see it. (Another stupid looking link)

Now I was using that kind of way to market my business too which is absolutely wrong, and I changed. Some of you may be doing that kind of way too, but you’re reading this article which makes you better because you found a way to change and you want to change. Just take a look at the twitter tips I provided using twitter tools to automate your message and tweet but better:

1. Hello there my friend. Many thanks for the follow, are you on facebook? Let’s connect there too. (Then put a link to your facebook)

2. Hi there buddy, great knowing you. It’s so great that I just met a wonderful new friend today. You, let’s talk again.

There it is, it’s actually quite simple and that’s what you want, simple and friendly to the point that they won’t be afraid to talk to you. Now you have learned how to twitter well and survive in the stupid world outside that is full of useless tips and maybe hazardous to your health as a twitter. Now let’s do some twittering.

The next lesson on how to twitter well will be out tomorrow, I’ll be writing and make videos once a day so stay tune. You can be the first to reach my lessons, watch the video version, and know more about me directly by subscribing to my blog or visiting it, http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=TantawiSBlog&loc=en_US
