How to Promote Your Website

Promoting your website is the key in earning money. Good promotion means good amount of traffic and traffic is money for you. Here are basic five ways to promote your website no matter what kind of a website you run.

1.      Social Book Marking

There are many book marking services like del.icio.us, stumbleupon.com, foldk.com etc. People bookmark their favorite sites to make them available to them no matter where ever they are. Similarly, people also like to search through bookmarks of others as they  feel it valuable. Hence book marking your website (maximum pages) can result in good and quality traffic coming to your site.

2.      Forum Posting

Forum Posting is a way by which webmasters sign up on forums related to their website niche and then participate in discussions while leaving their website’s signature in the footer of their message. It is important that one should use appropriate keyword as anchor text for such footers so that it should not only attract its reader but also become useful in improving search engine rankings. Usually forums allow up to 3 signature links in your forum posts. However several forums don’t allow even one. So be careful and choose only those forums where they allow signatures.

3.      Blog Posting

Blog Posting is very useful if you do run your own blog. Go and search about blogs related to your blog and then read posts to submit your comments on that with a link to your website. Usually blog comments are submitted with a link back to your site. Moreover, you can also refer to a particular post URL of your blog in the comment message if it is related to the post you are commenting on. This will direct more visitors to your site. Blog Posts can also help improve your search engine ranking. However Google only counts Do Follow blog comments. So be careful while posting.

4.      Directory Submission

Directory Submission is an old but still useful way of promoting a new website. There are thousands of website directories available on internet that allows you free or paid listing. Initially, you can only focus on free directories but later on as you grow, you can purchase listing in good quality directories such as yahoo directory.

5.      Link Exchange

Link Exchange is a bit technical stuff for webmasters. In this way, website owner search related websites and then drop them an email to see if they are interested in link exchange. A two way link exchange gives equal benefits to both parties. However there are also more advanced techniques such as Tree-Way link exchanges that give the benefits of one way links. Moreover, some sites also sell one way links on per month or year basis. However google dislike link trade, so better to avoid.

Techniques To Make Cash Online

You woke up this morning and found yourself without a job and just enough money on-hand to last a week before the Wolf came calling at your door. Let’s also pretend you know nothing or very little about internet marketing or affiliate programs. Could you make extra cash online in a week to buy your Family’s groceries? Could you make enough money to pay your electric bill?

Here are seven techniques you could use to put some cash in your pocket within a week by working online.

1. Project Payday

As an experiment one day, I tried Project Payday just to see how long it would take me to make extra cash. It was free to join so I signed up at their website, downloaded and watched the training video’s they provided. I followed the directions for getting set up to a ‘T’.  All total, between the sign up, watching training video’s and implementing the instructions, took me a little over 3 hours. I then spent about half a day just browsing and reading to get a feel of how this program worked.  I then put my name out as being available for some “offers” and I made $20 by the end of the first day. Next day I put about 6 hours into the program and made over $60 total. They have a $100 guarantee that states that if you follow the simple 4 step process and do not make money in the first 24 hours, they’ll give you $100. Pretty cut and dried and the best guarantee I’ve seen. Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a get rich quick scheme. You’ll have to work at it but you can earn money quickly. I personally found it very tedious though! I’m not cut out to spend long stretches at the computer. You can sign up for free with Project Payday and get started today. It’s one of the few places where you can start making a little bit of money relatively quick.

2. Read Emails / Taking Online Survey

In my opinion, this takes about as much time as Project Payday. There are companies that receive thousands of emails every day that need to be read. Obviously the CEO or other employees can’t spend every day reading emails, so they outsource this. There are several companies where they outsource this type of work as well as other tedious, time consuming chores such as product testing, online surveys, online mystery shopping and other. Send Earnings is one such company that have these offers. Consumers such as you sign up and are normally paid on a per assignment completed basis. The pay varies by what type of assignment you choose. You also won’t get rich doing this, but you can make a little money with some effort.

3. Become a Freelance Writer

It’s easier than you might think and you don’t need to be an English major to make money with this. In fact, it’s probably better if you’re not! You can sell your articles at Forums like Digital Point Forums and Site Point Forums. Each has a market place. Don’t expect to make a killing here but you can make some extra cash. If you really want to ramp up your earnings from Writing, then I’d suggest signing up for a service like Freelance Home Writers. This is a service like a job board where you log in to see what kind of Writing Jobs are available. Some will have the prices they are willing to pay for articles, some won’t. There’s also a couple of other benefits to signing up for their service. Check them out if you’d like to make money from home Writing.

4. One word - Ebay

There are so many ways to make money with eBay that it isn’t funny. Ebay has allowed many people who would not have been able to support their self or their Families to make more than enough money to live well. One technique that I used when I was between jobs many years ago was to visit Garage sales and Estate auctions and buy products to sell on ebay. You have a good idea what something is worth in order for this to work. Looking at something and saying “Oh, this looks like it’s valuable” isn’t good enough. You’ll wind up with a house full of junk! One way many people are starting to make money on eBay is with their own stores. Heck, eBay will even help you get started. They offer beginning or advanced entrepreneurs a site that helps you get started selling products with your own site. This takes a lot of time and effort away from getting started and gives you more time for promotion and other money making ideas.

5. If you a Photographer

There are several freelance photography websites on the Internet where you can sell your photo’s. You don’t have to be a Professional either. Just as long as your photo’s are clear and eye catching, you can sell them on sites like iStockPhoto.com. There’s a huge demand for stock photography and illustrations. You might as well get your share of the cash! There’s also a huge market for other types of photo’s, but I’ll let you figure those out for yourself.

6. Sell your Service

Do you know how to use a specific program inside and out? Can you take Quick Books or any of the MS Office programs and make them beg for mercy? Then you have skills that are in need. Places such as eLance, RentACoder and others have forums set up to help you sell your services. Some of these pay really well also, they’re worth checking out if you need some quick cash!

7. Set up a local directory site

I’m telling you people something right now. I think the future of the Internet is in the local markets. Remember when the Internet got off the ground and the buzz word was “Think Globally?” I’m going to tell you now to “Think Locally!” You treat your local market like a Niche, which it is. Build a Niche site about your local area and charge advertising or use Adsense. The best training I’ve seen is over at The Keyword Academy. Court’s course takes you through everything you’ll need to know to set up a profitable Niche site. From finding the right keywords, to setting up WordPress to learning how and WHERE to get back links, it’s all there.

Email Marketing on Your Online Business


The importance of Emails in business communication cannot be overemphasized. Businesspersons as well as customers devote several hours everyday to send and receive business emails. Its importance in modern business is totally unprecedented. The most updated email marketing technology makes it possible for you to send reasonably personalized email using population-related, ethnic, behavioral, or other information you have about your customers. Email marketing aimed at specific types of customers enables greater attention to customer interests, repeated visits to the websites, and higher ROI from your marketing efforts.

Email marketing with relevance is an essential part of any online marketing campaign. It is the best way to continually increase leads and also to get them to return to your website. Whether you are using search engine marketing or not, targeted email marketing can help your organization make the most use of your marketing.

Basics of Targeted email Marketing

If your goal is to kickoff your email marketing campaign, one thing you need to do is focus on your target market. You need to have a thorough understanding of your target market. At this point, you need to build detailed lists. Email marketing would be a damp squib without having a large database of email addresses on your list. If the list is ready, the next task is to get a very persuasive email written.

One of the most important things is the subject line. One cannot send out a promotional email with a flimsy attitude to make sure that it doesn’t sound spammy. Skillfully written, it can prove to be very effective. The subject line should be made really attractive. The content of the email has to be constructed with considerable thought and expertise. Paying attention to all these will ensure the expected kind of results from the receivers. That way the end result of your email marketing campaign can be very fruitful.
Make sure all the email ids are legitimate. Do not send out emails to people who are not your target customers. They will be the only ones who are interested in getting supplementary information. It is usually pointless to send thousands of emails to a number of random addresses. Your emails should look attractive. In order to accomplish that, carefully design the layout and colors. By working on the language of your emails, you can attract a large audience. Do not place content which your audience might find boring. All these would make your emails effective.

Benefits of Targeted Email Marketing

Ø      No additional software is required
Ø      Real-time tracking may be carried out (view opens, click thru and responses)
Ø      Has a very easy forward option, which would let you forward your email to a friend.
Ø      Dynamic List Management
Ø      You can maintain unlimited number of lists. Lists may be created easily.
Ø      Easy carrying out of editing and scheduling of campaigns.

There are three reasons to run an email marketing campaign:

1)      You can develop a better relationship with customers, resulting in improved trust and sales.
2)      It is a great way of promoting your own products.
3)      You may sell advertising or the products of others you may have tie-ups with.

You may come across problems such as spam and email blocking. Targeted email marketing continues to be a very effective marketing method. As in the case of everything, the more aware you are of it, the better you carry out the marketing.
If email marketing is used the right way, it would prove to be the best way to balance the lower costs with the more motivated response rates. This could be brought about by making it as effective as possible. Your marketing campaign must be based on an improved content, accurate tracking and the right kind of targeting.

The most basic rule of effective targeting is absolutely straightforward. Decipher what your target set is in need of and then offer it to them. Email has a more personal flavor. It is a more Effective Internet Marketing method than selling through a website, which lacks the human face. Being a stronger medium, a website has the potential of harming your reputation and sales.

Putting targeted email marketing into action enables you to reach your target audience and build customer relationships. Targeting is nothing more than the art of focusing your marketing on a particular niche. The two variables you need to work upon are the message and the list. Email marketing has become a crucial tool for getting customer attention in the first place and making sure that the customers stay. Today everyone has an email address and most users know a good deal about the system. About ninety percent of the customers look forward to getting confirmation orders for their purchases and information about shipping over email.
