FREE Advertising - You Can Never Advertise Your Website or Product Enough

While I do realize that PPC and other paid marketing is a great way to make more money off of websites and selling products, I personally believe in FREE Advertising. Especially when you are just beginning your internet marketing campaigns, most people just don't have any extra money put aside for the advertising.

Get in the habit of sending just a few (spend 5-10 minutes EVERY DAY) ads each and every day and discover the snow balling effect that your website or product selling has. It works, probably not overnight (nothing worth doing is going to be overnight), but it will work.

Start a habit TODAY of sending just 2 ads out daily. Spend a week or two doing that and then up your goal to 4 ads per day. You WILL see a difference in your marketing efforts.

Here is one Advertising source that provides lots of free advertising to those just starting out. Unless you want to take advantage of some good advertising packages (they ARE a good deal, but not completely necessary to start), just click past the one time offers (what they call OTO's) and sign up for free.

The Truth About Backlinks Inner Circle Review

The Truth About Backlinks Inner Circle Review

For the World Wide Web, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is like water to a plant. For SEO work to be successful on a website, links need to go in and out of that website. Back links are also referred to as inbound links and are submitted to other sites. There is a company that knows the importance of links and according to Backlinks Inner Circle Review, they do this well.

They stress the importance of back links to reach higher rankings in search engines. The more links on other websites, the more credibility with search engines and that means the higher one will be seen in search engine results. This company will recommend a marketing strategy that includes efforts to obtain more popularity for links.

They build back links that are of quality information and that are related to the company website. Search engines will not place a lot of weight on links that are not related to the specific website. There is no use linking to car tires when your website is all about speedboats. A site with only a small number of quality back links, will position itself higher for targeted keywords. Sites with several unrelated links will not have a good ratings. This is where the experts will assist a company to get the keywords and links right.

There are various ways in which they will assist a company to obtain back links for their website. Some of these methods are done free while others will cost money. The free options are to place the website on a large number of directories that are available on the Internet. They have knowledge of the reputable directory sites and will use those to ensure the website will have search engine favor.

Link exchange is another method that they will apply to a company website. This is when a web master creates a link on a website, which points to other webmasters. One-way links hold more advantages that two-way search engines will ignore links and irrelevant links. Webmasters usually have several websites and some are not even related to the other.

Backlink Inner Circle is aware of this and will irradiate any problems relating to IP clashes. This happens when the same IP is picked up more than once on the same website. A search engine will regard this as duplication and ignore one or all of these links.

One of the best ways to build links is to use an article directory. Such a directory contains a huge amount of articles. It allows one to publish articles together with links in a resource box. These directories ask for quality content, they approve and publish the content and in return provide a suitable category for the website and provide the links.

The newest method is to post discussions in forums and blogs. Most often, these websites already carry extremely successful links and SEO optimization, therefore the moment a company name appears in one of these pages, it will be displayed very high in search engine results. Backlinks Inner Circle knows this too well and is available to assist companies in all of the above-mentioned strategies.

Craft Sites - Are You Overlooking Some of Your Talents?

I've recently come in contact with a few crafters that do very well on the internet. While they quite well at Craft Fairs and around the Holidays through their own advertising efforts, they've discovered the internet is also a great way to advertise (as long as it is a mailable craft, and most are).

Jewelry is very mailable and is an excellent way of making more money each month. Handcrafted handbags, Halloween Ghost Decorations, and T Shirts are all crafts and goods that can be mailed and sold on the internet. Crafters use all kinds of mediums: glass, beads, paper, fabric, embroidery goods, and the list goes on.

There are platforms like Squidoo, Etsy, and tons of others to build free sites at a minimum of effort and use them to advertise your wares.



Use your talents, your hobbies, your passions to help make ends meet every month. It's very rewarding to see your interests pay off in a concrete way.

Read Articles & Earn Money? A Scam? Or Not?

No, this one isn't a scam, although there definitely are those out there that want to rip you off with a fee to join and THEN you find out that they didn't tell you everything before you joined up!



Read Bud has NO fees attached to it. In fact, I went looking thinking that there has got to be a tiered level to this website and there isn't. Everyone joins for free and there isn't another way to make MORE money by giving them a fee! Everyone is at the same level, so that was pretty neat to see.

You CAN make more money with a "tell a friend" and "affiliate" program, but, again, everyone has the option to do that, you don't have to pay extra.

This one program won't make you thousands a month, however, it's very doable to make an extra hundred or so if you consistently read a few articles every day.

Pay for Article Sites - Yes, They Pay YOU!

I'm going to talk about three different sites you can sign up for free and get paid for writing articles. Now these are not to be confused with article directories that you publish your articles on and promote your own business.

These are sites where they have a list (HUGE list) of article keywords that, if you write an article (they give you the instructions you need so you know what they want), upon acceptance, they pay you! Now these three pay you straight to your PayPal account, which is cool.

All three of these have an application process, but it's not hard and they don't require a writing resume. Check them out.

The first one is Textbroker.com. Out of the three I'm going to list here, it's my favorite so far. They NEVER run out of article keywords for you to chose and it just seems that your articles get approved quicker than the other sites. You do have to wait for the money to go into your PayPal account every two weeks (pay runs are on the 5th and 20th of each month), but it just makes the "paycheck" that much bigger when you get it.

The second one is called BrightHub.com. BrightHub doesn't have as many article keywords to pick from and they seem to run out entirely the 2nd half of the month, but they do pay more than Textbroker. They also have a probation period of 1-3 months after you publish the first article for them to see if your article gets enough "views" for them to be interested in paying you for more articles. So, my suggestion is to join this one first, get your first 5 articles done, and then move on to the others while you wait for this one to get back at you. Remember, this one pays MORE than the others, so it's worth getting through the admission process and then wait it out.

The third one has the potential to pay more, however, they seem to start writers out at a very low $2 an article. Associatedcontent.com For me, this really isn't almost worth the time, however, you can improve your "rank" quickly so that you get paid more for your articles. Like Textbroker, they have LOTS of article keywords and don't run out, so again, it's worth the time to get admitted and just work an article or two in here and there in between the other sites.

For all three of these sites, you get paid more when your "rank" is improved to their standards. And you can't improve those standards if you don't submit articles to them. So, suck it up for a little bit, and you will improve your rank and get paid more per article.

I hope this post helped you start making a few extra bucks per week. Even if you only post 2 articles a day @ $5 each, that's $140 extra every two weeks from just 2 articles per day. That's easy to do so think about it, ok? That's $280 per month!

Article Marketing - It's In Everyones Budget

Today's post is going to be about Article Marketing. As the title says, it's in everyone's budget!

Why Article Marketing? Well, there are a few reasons. #1 is that by writing articles and placing them on prominent directories, they get read by people looking for information. If your article is interesting enough or what they are looking for, they click on your resource or bio box (where you have back links to YOUR site) and hopefully buy your program or product. It's a numbers game, the more people who visit your site, the better chance that more people will make a purchase once they are there. #2 is that having your name in print with information relevant to your site available will start "branding" your name so people start remembering you every time they see your name. You will become an "expert" in their eyes and you start to build a relationship with them and instill trust. This is crucial to a long term business relationship.

Article Marketing is the method where you write short informative articles (250-600 words long) about a product or program that you are promoting, place the right keywords in the article, and submit to an article directory for publishing.

It's NOT hard! It really isn't, even if you don't consider yourself the greatest writer in the world.

While there are many good article directories available (just try to Google the words article directories and see how many show up!) I will recommend a few here to get you started.

ALL of these directories will require completely original and unique content! No PLR or Resell Right Material allowed!

Do you Heart EzineArticles.com, too?

Ezine Articles is notably one of the largest and best known, however, they actually have a few more rules than other directories, and some people state that they have a difficult time publishing here. This is definitely one directory you want some articles published at, however, you may want to try a few of the other directories first to get your feet wet and then come back to this one.

Others for you to submit your articles to are: Buzzle, Article Dashboard, Go Articles, Articles Factory, Web Pro News, Article Base, Article Alley, and Easy Articles.

This is a very short list, however, by the time you register at each one and add a few articles to each directory, this will take a little bit of time.

Again, I'll remind you that you do NOT want to use PLR articles that you've received somewhere else to place as an article in any of these directories. They will reject you and some may just close your account down and ban you. It must be original, unique, and informative!

For some examples, I've added a link to my Ezine Articles Author Page regarding Eating Disorders. I have quite a few articles there that all point towards my Effects of Bulimia site because they all relate to an eating disorder.

Go ahead and read a few of the article to get a good feel for what needs to be in an article, click on my profile to see what I have written there (get ideas on what to put in YOURS) and then click through on the links at the bottom of the resource or bio box (again, going there will give you some good ideas on what to put in YOUR bio box). You'll get some very good ideas on how to start patterning YOUR articles by doing this. After a few articles, you'll be a pro and start whipping out articles without any help at all.

Have fun and good luck!
