How We Were Able to Make Money Online and Now We Can Help You and Show You How You Can Make Money Online Too!

Dan Lopez and I recently did a very successful and profitable internet marketing experiment combining techniques and marketing strategies openly published by leading internet marketers.

We made a sale within seven days

of launching a series of mini-sites and we immediately ranked on Google with solid page one and page two results. And we started getting traffic. Free traffic. No PPC, no advertising, no videos, no articles, no press releases. Solid "I am ready to buy" qualified traffic and buyers. Immediately.

And all this free traffic was highly qualified and in the "I Am Ready to Purchase This Product Now" phase of the buying process - simply because of our strategically-chosen keyword and keyword phrases. No casual information seekers. When they got to the site they were ready to buy.

One product. One keyword. One consistent message. One click through to buy a merchant's product and an affiliate commission to us. Simple.

This is better than having to buy and own merchandise, build a website, find a market, build a list.

You get the picture. It can be daunting. One of the earliest mentors in my career was Jim Koester, owner of The Gibraltar Trade Center in Taylor, Michigan. He was the king, and I mean the king of wholesale liquidation and generating huge crowds to his Weekend Public Market. Some very good advice which he gave me early on about products and buying and selling in the liquidation industry was, "Don't look at it, don't love it, don't touch it. Buy it and sell it. Immediately." The other piece of good advice he gave me which came in handy when I owned my bookstore was, "Never confuse crowds with money." Time and time again he proved to be so "right on" with that advice.

It was that advice from Jim Koester which helped frame in Dan's and my mindset for this "money-getting" internet marketing experiment. Dan and I didn't really want just crowds, we wanted qualified buyers (who doesn't, right?).

It was easy to follow simple guidelines

Dan established some site design guidelines to attract and capture the eyes of site visitors. For instance, all crucial elements above the fold, a compelling "call to action" graphic image, the correct balance of H1 and H2 tagged headlines and sub-heads, strategically-placed keyword phrases in each paragraph, and crucial keyword-rich links to similar websites.

The best part is we didn't have to spend a dime on additional websites or hosting or domains. We used an existing network of personal websites and within seven days of creating the mini-sites we made the first sale utilizing the principles of The FAR Approach.

Pretty simple logic. Focus. Action. Results.


We focused on the highly competitive HDTV market niche within the electronics market. Pretty gutsy if you ask me to try and compete as newbies in a highly keyword-competitive market. The simple research we utilized showed us there were huge advertising dollars being spent on the HDTV market niche, and even though we started after the Christmas shopping season, we knew we could catch some of the HDTV Super Bowl traffic. We weren't expecting to get all the traffic. We just wanted a small piece of that traffic to visit our sites. We just wanted to generate interest and free traffic. And we did. Surprisingly the traffic hasn't really slowed down much (except for on Super Bowl Sunday!) because of the way we wove our long-tail keyword phrases throughout the text, meta tags and descriptions. It was very easy to do. You can do this too.

Ok, you might be asking yourself, "How can I do this?"


Is it simple? Does it really work? Can I do this if I don't have any experience selling on the internet?

The answer to each of your questions is yes, you can do this too. If you can browse and identify bestselling products on Amazon (or from any other vendor with an affiliate program) and use a simple HTML template, you can duplicate everything we did and generate traffic, and make commissions on products shoppers buy. This, at the "very most simple best" is all you have to do. And I have even figured out a way to do this for free, without having to go through the expense and upkeep of buying domain names and hosting websites.

The theory is simple.

Catch the people when they are ready to buy. Choose your products to match popular gift-giving holidays (Hallmark has certainly defined those days for us!), discover your own niche to match your personal passion, or just get downright down and dirty and competitive and go after established market niches.

Your start up is simple and easy.

Take it at your own pace in your spare time or go into it full time. You just have to add the words to the pages. And they don't even have to be your words. Just gather the data and add your own flavor and personality to what you are selling.

You can't take ACTION if you are in the middle of the confusion and chaos of "Information Overload"!

There are so many products I could recommend to you to do this. But the problem you will encounter is what I went through. You will soon begin to experience what all internet marketers come to know as "Information Overload." You will end up spinning your wheels trying to put together all the pieces of the "internet making money online" jigsaw puzzle. Don't do that. I don't want you to do that. You can't take Action if you are in the middle of the confusion and chaos of "Information Overload"!

See the RESULTS for yourself - See how simple and easy it can be

So, rather than give you too many choices, I am going to send you to two different website locations so you can see for yourself how simple and easy it can be to make money online. Yes, you can be just seven days away from your first sale too! The first site is for a "7 Days to the Sale" report which Dan Lopez put together about what we did. He used our "7 Days to the Sale" success as a case study for The FAR Approach.

A product I am comfortable recommending to you!


The second is for a product which I am comfortable recommending to you as the easiest to understand and use program which explains how we did what we did, and why we did everything the way we did. This is a great program for "newbies" and experienced pros alike. BUT, it is the best place for you to start your online business, and you will not experience the confusion of information overload. You will get just what you need to succeed with your internet business.

Continued success to you!

Twitter Online Market Share Dominated by Twitter Salvation System

The Twitter Salvation System by Kenneth Yu

I'm sure by now you've been hearing a lot about "Twitter," one of the most popular "social media" sites on the web today.

And like many aspects of social media and internet marketing the more you participate on Twitter the more you realize the endless opportunities to connect, to follow, to make friends, and to let your friends make you rich on Twitter. Quickly.

Intuitively, once I became involved with Twitter I knew I could expand my business and have a bit of fun too. I was in for a big surprise.

What happened is pretty amazing. I was hooked. I became aware of an entire society and wealth of real-time conversations flowing between those I chose to "follow", internet marketers. I figured if I was going to be spending time being "social" I wanted to learn something too. And what I learned was that I needed to learn more!

Daily, hour by hour, I was watching lives unfold. I read about different businesses, who was doing what, where, and with what group. I read advice freely given to those who asked, and also caught glimpses of personal lives too. And I got involved and started asking questions and all at once I felt like I had found a place where I fit, where I belonged, because I had created the community where I wanted to spend my time. But I wanted more. I wanted to know how to be outstanding. I wanted to make my time on Twitter of value to me and to those within the Twitter community I had created. So I started paying attention to the leaders and tried to learn how and why they had become successful on Twitter.

You know how it is on the web. You read something which catches your mind. You want to know more so you read profiles and click and follow links to blogs and websites. The more you read you learn about yet more people who are in any given industry. I continually want to know who is the guru. Who is the leader. Who is the person others willing give credit to for helping to make them successful. I found many. Two stand out for me.

Early on I discovered Kenneth Yu. He caught my eye and mind because of his Twitter "handle" @emailcopywriter. Who could resist that? Of course I followed Kenneth because I wanted to know more about writing killer emails which would get opened and convert to sales.

The other stand out for me is internet marketing guru Dan Lopez. Why? Because I am curious my nature and I had hundreds of questions about Twitter and the process and flow of internet marketing. And I kept hammering Dan Lopez with questions - 140 characters at a time! And you know what? Dan answered my questions and offered many suggestions. And then it hit me that yes, this is what Twitter is all about. Just being a friend, having conversations about things which mattered in our lives at that moment. Today Dan told me more about Kenneth Yu's Twitter Salvation System. He told me his system could help me learn how to use Twitter to sell whatever it is that I wanted to sell. Sweet.

Like a true guru, Dan has created an information page about Kenneth Yu's Twitter Salvation System with more information. Rather than copy and paste all of it here take a moment and click here to learn more about Kenneth Yu and his Twitter Salvation System - and yes, they will both answer your questions, and as a fun bonus there are a couple of fun videos on the site from Perry Belcher and author Jonathan Gunson.

Stop back by after you you begin the Twitter Salvation System and let me know about your Twitter experiences. Oh, and leave me your Twitter "handle" so I can follow you too!

Rich Schefren Gains Online Market Share with Live 24 Hour Telecast

Rich Schefren has done it again with The Uncertainty Syndrome: Entrepreneurial Emergency

Rich Schefren of Strategic ProfitsI Feel Like A Total Idiot

That was my first reaction when I read Constraint #7 inside Rich Schefren's "The Uncertainty Syndrome: Entrepreneurial Emergency".

You got your free copy too, right?

Get your free copy of The Uncertainty Syndrome here (if you dare!)

Because in just 60 something pages, Rich basically rips the cover off your business and takes a long hard look inside.

And some of it ain't pretty.

For example, Rich list 7 constraints that most entrepreneurs face. And I was feeling pretty good about numbers one through six.

But when I hit number seven...well, let's just say it hit me back.

Like a sledgehammer upside the head.

Go ahead and click here to get your free copy of The Uncertainty Syndrome here (it's only sixty pages!)

I had no idea I was leaving so much on the table because of this one constraint. In fact, I didn't even know I HAD this stinkin' thing rolling around in my business.

But there it was, plain as day. Staring up at me like a dead fish washed up on the shores of Suttons Bay. And smelling like it too.

Yuck.

But here's the cool part...

Rich offers a Silver Bullet solution for each constraint, giving you practical answers you can implement right away. And that's what I intend on doing with Silver Bullet #7, right after I type this blog post.

But I had to pass this along immediately, because I know you suffer from constraints as well. And you're looking for answers.

Well, here they are..for FREE.

Jay Abraham, America's #1 authority on business has written an great introduction to it as well!

Talk again soon,

Cheryl C. Cigan
OnlineMarketShare.com

P.S. One more thing that struck me when reading Rich's report...

He talks about something called Leisure Phobia, and how this deadly disease is plaguing the entrepreneurial community.

And as I was reading this, I found myself slinking further and further in my chair...

Yikes. Hope it's not affecting you too.

Go ahead and download the report, I know you want to!

Google's New Chrome Grabs 1% in One Day!

Chrome Grabs 1% in One Day!

According to research conducted at StatCounter, Google’s new browser, Chrome, has taken 1% of the global browser market within a day of launch.

Google’s unusual step of publicizing the Chrome browser on its notoriously clutter-free homepage is an indication of the plans that Google has for this browser…

“This is a phenomenal performance,” commented Aodhan Cullen of StatCounter, “this is war on Microsoft but the big loser could be Firefox.”

While Google may have the Internet Explorer market share in its sights, the fact that many Firefox users are more “mobile” as far as browser use is concerned, may impact on the current Firefox market share.

Note: The StatCounter analysis was conducted today, Wednesday, 03 September 2008, and was based on a sample of 18.5 million page views globally. The analysis identified that Internet Explorer holds 70% of the global browser market followed by Firefox with 22%.

Google Maintains Search Online Market Share at 61.9%

comScore logoComScore has released its monthly analysis results for search market share in the U.S. showing a wider gap between Google and Yahoo.

Google sites had 61.9% of the market, while Yahoo! followed at a not-so-close second with 20.5%. The gap between the two has grown since June, when Google and Yahoo! controlled 61.5% and 20.9% respectively.

---------
Known Note:

It will be interesting to watch what happens with the search engine online market share as we head into and go through the upcoming holiday seasons.

Something to watch is consumer versus business search behavior when the need arises to get directions to make the perfect Halloween costume, to find the best homemade Turkey recipes for Thanksgiving, to get information on the best wines to serve with holiday dinners, searches on travel sites and gas prices sites as family members try to get together for the holidays, and not to be overlooked will be all the retail consumer goods searches to the large retail sites. And let's not overlook all things football and sports related.

comScore July 2008 search engine online market share report


From Chris Crum of WebProNews:

In research like that of ComScore's, the information should not be taken as gospel. As PCWorld points out:

ComScore's reports are not controversy-free. The company was criticized in April for a report on paid search clicks, as ComScore's measurements rely mainly on online recruitment techniques, usually dismissed by traditional pollsters. The search market share report presented yesterday relies on a similar panel with ComScore's controversial one from April...

That said, it doesn't look like Google has any threat to its search market share, and with their current push into the mobile sector, it is doubtful that any such threat will emerge in the foreseeable future.
