Oh, I’ve provided a link for you to visit my site at      CreateSpace and view my first work, or, you can click the image and be whisked away to Amazon.. Magic Tips and Tricks. No, it doesn’t have much to do with internet marketing or making money, unless you’re me.

Top Three Website Niches

Knowing how concerned we are about our bodies and how we relate to others, it becomes easy to conclude that the top three niches on the web focus on our quest for wellness and acceptance.

1. Health

People have become conscious about being healthy as diseases, and the suffering that they bring, ironically spread as we prospered. We have more cars, more infrastructure, and more gadgets; but they have also brought pollution that poisoned us and our environment and threaten our ability to enjoy what we have worked hard for. We have responded to the threat by getting active, eating right, and doing away with some very bad habits. We also went out of our way to learn about diseases and how we can avoid them. We go to the net to learn how to work out more efficiently; to compare and choose the diet that works for us; to find natural supplements to take; and look for inspiration to keep our mind and spirit at peace.

2. Weight Loss

Seven out of ten Americans are obese, and it will get even worse if drastic measures are not taken both by the government and the individual. Being overweight exacts a heavy price on self-esteem, not to mention the dangers that it poses to one’s overall health and fitness. It’s a good thing that the horizontally challenged are not taking the problem sitting down. They are consulting the web on scientific exercise regimens, safe diet pills, and liposuction procedures, among other things. No wonder, websites providing helpful products and information for overweight people are always busy handling queries and sales orders.

3. Relationships

Human beings are social creatures. No one wants to be alone and people yearn to interact and get accepted by others. This explains the boom in social marketing sites that keep people connected and foster friendship and cooperation. Today, your personal network is as important as your qualifications. Thus, you are not complete if you do not have a Facebook or Twitter account. With a computer and an internet connection, you can access websites that enable you to reach across the world to friends and prospects, sharing your ideas and getting energized by their inputs in return.

A Niche of Your Own

The best website niches are those that help people solve problems and find answers. They balance business with service and they get rewarded with loyalty and popularity. Finding, and establishing, your own niche is possible if you make an effort to know and address what people need and use your creativity to establish a unique identity. You can learn a thing or two from successful websites who made it because they have a unique service and offer a memorable benefit. People look them up because they have something relevant to say about things that matter and their insights are always fresh and focused. To get noticed in the worldwide web, you have to be a problem solver. And the world’s best website niches offer many clues on how.

20 Ways to Hypnotise Your Web Site Visitors

I promise you, the following is very good advice if you are an internet marketer..  Read on..

————— 

Marketing through website is different and at the same time not very different, in so many ways to other forms of Marketing. It is different as the medium requirements are different. But it is similar as the principles remain the same and of course the objective is the same - to make people buy.

When marketing through web you should remember the acronym AIDAS

AIDAS - Attract, Interest, Desire, Action and Satisfaction

Your website should be able to fulfill all the words above and you will be able to not only entice surfers to your site but keep them there and make them customer.

In the following pages there are many tips which if followed will help you put up a winner.

Web site design is more than simply finding a photo you like and a color that works with your logo. It incorporates readability, functionality, usability - all of which boil down to one simple concept: good web site design practices make your web site work for your business.

ONLY AESTHETICS MAY NOT TIC Most of us think about web site design in terms of our aesthetic preferences, but good web site design incorporates some fundamental elements that will make your web site work for your business and your customers.

ITS ALL ABOUT READABILITY Make “readability” a fundamental part of your web site design If you want a professional-looking web site design that encourages visitors to read about your business, products or services, the first thing to do is to make sure visitors can, in fact, “read”. Stay away from all capitals in your writing and use common fonts that are easy to read.

LET THE LOGIC PREVAIL Organize content into logical sections. Make it a snap for visitors to find information.

BROWSING NOT READING Incorporate headlines into your web site design. Web users will browse more often than read.

Use headlines and subheadings to give customers a quick idea of what your page has to offer. Someone in a hurry should be able to read your headlines and subheadings to quickly understand what products, services, and benefits they will get. Put your most important phrases in bold letters, too.

BULLETS WILL HIT THE RIGHT PLACE Include bold words, bullet points, section titles and short paragraphs. The visual experience on a web site is quite different than on a printed page.

NO BACKGROUND NOISE Never (really, we mean never) use patterned or distracting background images as part of your web site design. Your content will be “lost” in the noise.

EASY ON THE EYES

Eliminate bright background colors with bright text. Make reading easy on the eyes. Basic colors and a white background do best with the many different ways your page will look on different monitors.

CONSIDER COLOUR-BLINDS Good web site design considers colorblind visitors. Certain combinations of colors may be invisible to some of your most potentially valuable customers.

NO GRAPHIC MODE Consider visitors with graphics turned off (yes, they can do that to your beautiful web site design). Use ALT tags to label graphics with descriptive text.

JUST RIGHT FONT Use an appropriate font size. Find a happy medium between too big and too small.

STRUCTURED APPROACH Make “Structure” an integral part of Good web site design.

It’s a good idea to map out the pages of your site; in effect, design the sitemap first.

Find the most logical, most direct way to link your pages to one another. Think like your customers - if you were visiting your site, how would you want to find information? Better yet, get your customers to tell you!

PLAN BEFORE PLUNGE Good web site design practices start with good planning. Do not develop a single graphic until you’ve set up a skeleton site and done some real-world testing to see if the structure makes sense. Sit your employees or customers down and see if they can navigate your site easily and locate information quickly.

BE CONSISTENT A good web site design will always (yes, we mean always) use navigation consistently. That means that your common navigational elements will be in the same place, and will have the same look on every single page of your site.

STANDARD PRACTICE Sometimes, good web site design is simply following standard practices. Keep your logo in the upper left hand corner of the page and use it to link from your interior pages back to your home page.

And use common names for things - “home” for home and “about us” for a page about you. If you have a search field, put it prominently near the top of your page. Most people have grown accustomed to these basic web site design principles.

WHEN “MORE” IS NOT ALWAYS “BETTER”

It’s a safe bet to say that all businesses want an effective web site. But what’s “effective” and what’s “excessive”?

When it comes to good web site design, more is not always better.

Yes, your site can flash, blink and sing, but there are reasons not to add that extra feature.

By “extra features” we mean things that do not improve your sales, make your business more efficient or advance your goals, but are simply surface enhancements. Music, a twinkling star, graphics that fade in and out.

HAZARDS OF SHOWING OFF TOO MUCH All of these things may impress you but they may not impress your visitors. Extra features can:

 

  • Slow your site down so that people with slow Internet connections might never get through your opening animation.
  • Stop or inhibit search engines from listing your site.
  • Annoy visitors so that they leave your site before learning anything, signing up for your newsletter, or making a purchase.
  • Flashing-blinking-singing things can be distracting, repetitious or detract from the real purpose of your site.

That is not to say that these elements should never be used. Each has its place and can be an integral part of good web site design. But any enhancement should advance your business goals, and your animations and music should come equipped with an “off” button. Remember, the purpose of a web site is to convert visitors into customers. 

USE THE RIGHT TECHNIQUE On the technical side of web site design.

So far, everything we have mentioned has some visible effect on your web site. But there are other “behind the scenes” design elements that can help to make your web site the best it can be. A good web site design professional will take care to be sure that:

 

  • GRAPHICS ARE OPTIMIZED FOR DOWNLOAD. Visitors should be able to get to your web pages quickly, even on slower Internet connections.
  • COLORS ARE “WEB SAFE”. Some browsers display a limited color palette. Visitors should be able to view your site in all its glory, whatever their browser.
  • VISITORS USING LOW RESOLUTION MONITORS CAN SEE YOUR PRIMARY CONTENT WITHOUT SCROLLING. It’s usually best to design for the “least common denominator” so that your most important content is immediately visible on all types of monitors.
  • YOUR SITE WILL WORK ACROSS MULTIPLE BROWSERS, ON MULTIPLE OPERATING SYSTEMS. Customers come in a variety of shapes and sizes and so do their web tools. People using a Mac, or IE 6.0 or 7.0 should be able to see your site as well as someone using a PC, or Firefox 2.0.

PROOF OF THE PUDDING Include testimonials from your customers and suppliers. Nothing builds trust with customers and prospects like good words about you from people who know you and have done business with you. UPDATE OFTEN Make sure you update your important info often. Search engines, just like customers, check back often to see how your site is progressing. Lots of helpful articles, tips, and a question and answer page will give customers all the information they need. Also include links to other recommended sites like yours. Try to get those sites to add your link as well. Customers will see you as an authority in your field and will appreciate your ability to help them in a variety of ways. 

OWN YOUR WEBSITE Your own domain name will make your business look bigger and your Internet effort more serious. Yourname.com looks a lot more impressive than freewebsite.com/10101/yourname

Writing for the Web – A No B.S. Blueprint for Effective Web Site Writing

Copy is everything. Sure, you may get a rare sale or two with weak copy… but why waste your time creating a web site and filling it with something that’s not going to do the job you want it to? Would you open a used car lot and only put four of twenty cars on the lot to ‘WOW’ potential customers? Of course not! You’re going to put everything you have out there, in part because you’re competing against every other used car lot in town and you need every advantage you can muster..  The same holds true with writing web copy. You need to put your best effort forward,  because i can guarantee you.. your competition will..

Sharon has a great grasp on the basics of copywriting and how YOU can create content worthy of your time and effort…

—————- 

Writing for the web is no doubt a very special skill. As web content is most of the time the only thing that is standing between your potential consumer and that BUY button, it pays to invest time to ensure that your web copywriting skills are highly effective. Put simply, better web site writing = better sales! To master writing for the web, one must possess the following to some degree:

1) Knowledge of the subject matter or topic being discussed. Everybody knows that anybody can put information online so why should people listen to you? Studies show that people tend to pay more attention to web copy writing that conveys authority so ensure that you have a good grasp of what you are talking about as most people can smell a ‘fake’ a mile away. However, do not pepper your copy with words that require the reader to reach for the dictionary. The most effective type of writing for the web is one that is conversational. If your business is geared towards providing corporate products and services, then by all means use ‘corporate speak’ (common business language). But if your target market is the average online buyer, then your web site writing should use more informal words and even colloquialisms (i.e., words or expressions not normally used in formal speech or writing).

2) A crystal-clear objective. (What is the exact purpose of your web copy? What do you want your site visitors to do?) Many so-called web content writing professionals suffer from the ambiguity disease. In many a writer’s desire to address everything that a site visitor may want from a site, the web copy (and thus its message or purpose) becomes diluted. In the end, the site visitor is not properly prompted to do what you want him or her to do. So before you start writing for the web, ask yourself what it is exactly that you want readers to do after reading your web copy. Do you want them to sign up for your newsletter, download a product or purchase something from your site today? Whatever the goal, stay focused on it and make sure your web content writing works to achieve that sole purpose.

3) And last, but not the least, you must have an in-depth understanding of the psyche of online readers. You have heard it often enough, online readers are just not the same as an offline audience. You need to sustain their attention better and you need to call into their ‘inner self’ to compel them to do what you want them to do. Ok, so how exactly do you do this? Well, read on!

Writing for the Web – Top 5 Fool-Proof ‘Visual Aids’ to Better Web Site Writing Online readers or site visitors have a very short attention span. In fact, as much as you ensure that your web content writing is ‘perfect’ (i.e., grammatically correct and logically presented), you must understand and accept one thing – online readers do not really read web copy… they scan. So here’s a quick guide to practical web writing.

1) Use “Move Me” Headlines. The headline is probably the most important aspect of writing for the web. It should immediately convey what the copy is all about in an exciting, intriguing and ‘can’t wait to read this article’ way!

2) Use compelling subheadlines. This will not only break your web copy to make it visually appealing, it also helps site readers scan your copy more effectively. However, don’t just put a subheadline for the sake of having one. Come up with stimulating subheadlines to keep readers interested.

3) Use short paragraphs. Long paragraphs mean “uh-oh, this requires some time to read and think about, better skip it,” while short paragraphs mean “this will only take a minute, let me go through this now.”

4) Use emphasis. Boldface, italics type and underline all help to guide readers in scanning your web content. However, do not overdo this. Remember that emphasis tags aim to do just that – emphasize. Too many words or phrases in bold, italics or underline will only create ‘visual noise’ and minimize the effect you wanted to achieve in the first place.

5) List them down! When writing for the web, see to it that you have something to itemize and put these in a numbered or bulleted list. Lists help you present information in short, bite-size pieces. Further, they help the reader grasp the information you are presenting better.

Many say that writing for the web is an art form. And you know what? It is. Web site writing is not just about presenting information and asking potentials to be clients. It is about presenting information in a visually effective and mind-compelling way that simply convinces potentials to be clients.

How to Get More Visitors Without Spending a Penny

I am a UK based independent travel consultant, Europe a la Carte. As a small business I have to find ways to get visitors to my site without a large advertising spend. However while I may not spend money, I certainly put in a lot of time and effort!

1 You need to find a niche angle, something that makes you stand out from other similar websites. Every industry is very competitive and you need something to get your site noticed. I feature less well known destinations in Europe, like Lake Iseo in northern Italy, then I can come in the first few listed on a natural search (as supposed to a sponsored or paid for result). If I promote well known destinations like Florence, I will probably turn up on page 100 and nobody will find me.

2 Try to write as many articles as possible relevant to the product/service that you are selling on your website. I write articles and guides about these less well known destinations and promote these articles and guides as widely as possible eg submit to Ezine Articles and Helium. This way you can become an expert on your niche market and your site comes higher in natural searches.

3 Start a blog on your site. Again only post articles which are relevant to your product/service. I write posts about travel in Europe. I try to make at least one post per day. You must then get your blog listed on blog directories and make comments on other related blogs with links back to your blog. Search engines like the way blogs are structured and that fact that there is a constant stream of fresh content on your website. Again this brings you up higher in the natural search results.

Karen Bryan is a UK based independent travel consultant and writer. She set up her online business in Summer 2002. Her website Europe a la Carte, http://www.europealacarte.co.uk, features less well known destinations in Europe. Karen believes that if you venture even slighly off the beaten tourist track that you will see more of the real Europe.

St. Paul’s Second Letter To The Internet Marketers

I read the first lesson in church today. It was Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians, Chapter 8, starting from verse 1. As I was reading verses 11 and 12, I almost stopped, and had to collect myself to continue reading.

To save you trying to find a Bible, verse 10 says “I want to suggest that you finish what you started to do a year ago”, and verse 11 is even better – it says “Let your enthusiastic idea at the start be equalled by you realistic action now”.

The reason I nearly stopped reading is because these words really struck home to me as an internet marketer, and I suspect it would have struck a chord with you too.

Have we not all been guilty of enthusiastically downloading the latest magic formula for online riches? We probably only bought what we did because of the “$15000 worth of bonuses” which were offered along with the product.

Now we have hard drives cluttered up with stuff we have never opened, and sometimes stuff we have actually paid money for, and yet still have never used.

What went wrong? Did we get too busy with other things, thinking we would get around to using that marvellous money making scheme later? The trouble is, later never comes, as we get distracted by another hundred emails, each of which promises so much, but which will just as inevitably deliver so little, and off we go again, looking for the next big thing.

Have a look on your hard drive. I’ll bet you’ve got stuff that you can’t recognize from the file name, can’t remember where you got it from, or why you ever downloaded it.

It is a known fact that if an internet marketer sold private label right books or articles to a limited market of 300 people (and for PLR you wouldn’t want any wider distribution than this), only about a third or less would ever appear on the net. This is why PLR products are so good – if you follow up your enthusiasm with action, you will have a great chance of making good, as you will have a significant advantage over the vast majority who will do nothing with their purchase.

So, how do you get yourself into this happy situation?

What you have to do is BEGIN! Yes, it’s as simple as that. Tell yourself that on a certain day at a certain time you will start on ……………… (Enter your own project here – fish it out of the “too hard” basket.

Don’t open any emails on that day, don’t get distracted by anything at all, and at least MAKE A START. This is how writers get over their mental block. Rather than sit there staring at a blank piece of paper in their typewriter (those that still use typewriters), they start typing. What they type doesn’t really matter, it is just a trigger to get them going.

For instance, this very evening I found out why the links on my website were in large print, and bolded, thereby using up too much space in my website ads. I had been putting this off for months, knowing it was something to do with a mysterious CSS file, but not quite knowing what a CSS file actually was, what it did, and what I had to do to achieve what I wanted.

Eventually, I did a search, and found a CSS tutorial. Then I went to Dreamweaver and loaded up my money-making site. I then found that I didn’t need the tutorial at all, Dreamweaver let me edit the CSS file on the screen. The whole thing took less than thirty seconds! All I had to do was make the commitment to myself to actually start doing what I had been putting off for so long. I urge you to do the same.

Next I resolved to carry out what I had thought about in church, that there was a good article somewhere in St. Paul’s words, so I opened up Word, typed the headline, and haven’t stopped until I got to here!

So, type out verses 11 and 12, and stick them to your screen, or somewhere where you will see them each time you sit down at your computer, and marvel that St. Paul’s words are still so relevant to us today as internet marketers!

The Real Secret to Finding Hot Niche Markets!

Finding a niche market is simple. Finding a PROFITABLE niche market is a little harder, but it’s still easy once you know what you are doing. Otherwise, you will end up like 90% of the other niche marketers out there who spend weeks or months on a niche market only to find out there is no money to be made there. Luckily I will reveal the secrets to finding a profitable niche market later in this article.

There are literally hundreds of ways to find niche markets. You can spend your time searching for popular keywords using tools such as Wordtracker, or you can walk around your local bookstore looking for common book topics. I’ve tried both of these options when I first got started in niche marketing, and let me tell you, I lost the most money when I picked a topic that way. Why? Well, it’s simple. Just because people are searching for a keyword or phrase online or because there are a bunch of hard copy books on a topic, it doesn’t mean those markets will buy your products online.

Have you ever heard the advice “Target a niche market you are passionate about”? What a bunch of garbage that piece of advice is. It doesn’t matter how passionate you are about a topic, if people in that market don’t buy products online, YOU WILL FAIL and fail miserably.

Here are 2 ways to find cash generating, starving niche markets that you have probably never seen before…

1) Ebay - the unlimited supply of niches. Everyone has heard of ebay, but few people think to go to ebay to find a niche market. You would have to be crazy NOT to use ebay to find a market. This is one of the only places you can go and see exactly what people are buying in real time. Here is how you do it.

First, go to ebay’s main page at www.ebay.com. At the bottom of the left column of links, click on the link that says “All Categories”. When you get to the next page, click on the link at the bottom right of the categories that says “See All Categories”.

What you have just done is list every product currently for sale on ebay, but even more importantly, you can see HOW MANY products are for sale in each category. There are literally thousands of categories of niche topics right in front of your eyes, and you can see how popular each one is in just a couple clicks.

I just clicked “See all Antiques categories…” and I uncovered several hundred niche markets within the antiques category.

This is what niche marketing is all about. The category “Antiques” alone is too broad. If you go after this one, you will fail, however if you go after a sub niche such as “Asian antique bowls” or “Antique sterling silver flatware”, you greatly increase your success rate.

Then, go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/whatshot.html and see just how flaming hot they are.

2) The next way to find a popular niche market is by going to the website www.meetup.com. From the homepage, there is a link that says “Browse All Interests”. The website will then list hundreds of topics in which people signed up to be a part of a group. It also lists how many people joined each group, or “niche market” if you will. Who would have thought there would be a group of over a thousand people crazy about scooters? I found this niche market under the automotive category.

Using these two methods, you should be able to uncover hundreds of niche topics to begin targeting immediately. Once you find a niche market you want to build your business around, the next step would be to learn how to develop products these markets will knock each other over trying to buy.

Creating Multiple Streams of Income

Titus Hoskins understands exactly what it took me a couple of years to figure out. I concentrated on getting sign-ups for a popular newsletter I edit at the expense of everything else. Once I understood how to incorporate all the primary strategies into my web site, not only did my subscriber base take off, but money from other sources took off as well.

A quick example - I sell a couple of ebooks that are sold primarily through Clickbank. Once I set up the ebooks to sell on my site, I also created image links using the ebook covers, used alt text to create keyword significant phrases that would be read by the search engine bots and bring traffic to my site from relevant searches, although the products were not mine.  Don’t be afraid to list a product name in your description. If I’m giving up valuable space on MY web site to help another author earn money via sales, then I’m going to get some of the traffic from customers searching from that particular ebook.

Take a day periodically and devote it to one aspect of marketing. Decide that you are going to spend today working on nothing but increasing your subscriber base, or finding new products to promote on your web site. If you’ve had a product up for awhile, have decent traffic, and the products not producing.. Get rid of it and replace it with something that may increase your bottom line. Your sales figures will let you know whether your audience wants your product or not. Now, on with Titus’ article…

————————-   

Creating multiple income streams from your website is a proven marketing strategy. An effective strategy anyone can use to earn a part-time or full-time online income. If you are not currently earning revenue from your site, you could be leaving significant amounts of cash floating in cyberspace.

Significant amounts of cash that can help pay your monthly bills: your rent or mortgage, your car payments, your utility bills or even your hosting costs. Many alert webmasters are doing just that by creating multiple income streams from their site or sites.

Creating these multiple income streams is not a difficult task. Nor is it a lengthy or time consuming one; monetizing your site can be done within a few hours of work.

Here are some effective ways of creating multiple income streams:

1. Affiliate Programs

Joining affiliate programs related to your site is an easy process. Placing html code or java script on your site with your affiliate IDs embedded only takes seconds. I find joining major affiliate networks like Commission Junction, LinkShare, Amazon, ClickBank, Shareasale… to be the most effective. You can quickly find and join affiliate programs related to your site’s topics.

Affiliate programs are excellent income producers, all you have to do is supply the traffic or leads and the affiliate company does the selling, shipping and handles all customer interactions. These programs pay on time each month and there are no disputes about commissions. Amazon pays quarterly!

2. Google Adsense

Perhaps one of the easiest way to monetize your site is through Google Adsense. All you have to do is add a snippet of code to your site and Google serves up ads to match your site’s content. Getting those checks from Google each month will put a smile on your face. Guaranteed!

3. Sponsored Links

Another simple way to earn revenue from your site is offering sponsored links. Selling links to other sites who want to be listed on your site. Set up a PayPal subscription service, and if your site has a high PR page rank you will have plenty of webmasters more than willing to pay you each month.

4. Banner Advertising

A simple, direct way to earn revenue from your site is to host and sell banner advertising on your site. Bit traditional but still a money producer for high traffic volume sites.

5. List Building

Building an opt-in list of contacts interested in the topic of your site can be one of your most effective income producers. Many webmasters and marketers use followup e-mails to keep in contact with their site’s visitors. This does require some work and set-up time, but once you have your autoresponders in place, you can forget about them.

In addition, marketing special deals, joint ventures and offers to your permission based email contact list can be another lucrative income stream for you.

That’s just five ways to create multiple income streams from your site. There are many, many more but these are good starting points for any webmaster who wants to monetize their site or sites.

Additional Marketing Tip

Here’s my #1 marketing strategy on how to increase your number of income streams:

I use the Long Tail keyword marketing model to create high ranked keyword listings in organic search for profitable keyword phrases on the topics of my sites. First, I use a keyword research tool like Brad Callen’s Keyword Elite or an online site Yahoo’s Overture to find profitable keyword phrases for my sites.

These tools will tell you how many searches are made each month for a given keyword phrase and also tell you how much marketers are willing to pay for each click to this keyword phrase - as in PPC or Pay Per Click advertising.

The trick is to find low to mid-range keywords or keywords phrases that are profitable but have little competition. Then design a content page on your site to target these keyword phrases and draw in traffic. I use keyword targeted articles which I place on my site and also submit to online article directories like Ezinearticles, Goarticles, Articlealley, among others.

In the resource box at the end of each article, I place my keyword anchor text and links back to my site. As these are competitively low ranked keywords, my content pages usually land on the top positions in the search engines for my targeted keywords within a week or so.

This is a simple effective marketing strategy that feeds targeted traffic into my sites, making them more profitable with each keyword phrase I develop content for on my sites. It is an online marketing strategy that you can also use to booster your multiple income streams from your own website.

Granted, all the above information comes with a disclaimer, the amount of income will usually correlate to how effective you are at marketing your site and how much traffic you can generate. Your different abilities will play a large role in how much you will earn. However, there is no reason why any healthy site getting a decent amount of traffic can’t be used to create multiple streams of income. Just cash in!
