STOP! Why Page 1 Of Google May Be A Waste Of Your Time

It's common knowledge that getting on page one of Google is a big deal for your business, but many people don't consider that getting on page 1 of Google may be a waste of time that could be spent driving traffic in better ways.

Sure free continuous traffic from Google is great, but what about all the other traffic sources?

The absolute best traffic is endorsed traffic and if you're building up an email list of any kind or selling your own products endorsed traffic is a much better use of your time. There are a handful of ways to get endorse traffic the best is getting someone to send an email about your website and since many people who open emails of people they trust or respect on some level your website will have more authority than it would if your visitor came from the search engines such as Google.

Don't get me wrong, Google traffic will almost always help, but the chances of someone buying an expensive product from a Google search are low compared to an email.

There are many instances where Google traffic is ideal, for instance if you are creating affiliate sites Google traffic can lead to a continuous traffic stream which will lead to continuous profits and makes your site(s) way more profitable and scalable.

It's important to use your best judgment and that will lead you to choose the best traffic source, also consider what works best for you... some people just don't like doing SEO and are better off developing a business around indorsed traffic or other traffic sources.

In this online game time is money, so don't waste your time on SEO unless it's right for your particular site. Find out some of my best traffic tactics inside my free internet marketing membership site by following this link http://cashquickstart.com

How To Avoid Getting Dropped Like A Rock In Google's Search Listings

A lot of people avoid trying to get traffic from Google's search results because they have had a bad experience. Usually it's the fact that their site has been a victim of the dreaded Google sandbox.

The truth is many people confuse Google's 'dance' with having their site 'sandboxed' let's back up a minute and talk about each. The Google sandbox is basically when your site is placed in the supplemental listings in Google. The Google dance is when your site jumps around in the search engine results for a certain keyword or keywords.

The Google dance is extremely common especially for new sites and sites that are getting a lot of new back links going toward it. Don't fear the dance it's actually a good thing because it usually means your site will rank higher than it was previously once Google decides where to put it.

So if you're site disappears from where it was listed before, simply give it a few days and see what happens.

To avoid the sandbox and to make sure your site gets ranked higher while it's doing the little Google dance you simply need to steadily add new back links to your website. Usually Google's red flag comes up when they notice abnormal back linking like pounding a site with back links then never adding a new back link, this just simply doesn't look natural, but it can still work if you're not trying to get your back links indexed in Google all at once or your search term has really low competition.

So now you know what to do to avoid the sandbox and to win the Google dance, go and check out my free internet marketing membership site to find out more of my top search engine ranking tactics by going to http://cashquickstart.com

Why Over Delivery Goes A Long Way

When it comes to having a competitive advantage over deliver is key. Think about it, if you deliver more than the next guy people will be drawn more to you.

Even if you content is not the greatest, but you deliver like 5 videos for only $5 most people will take you up on that offer as long as at least 1 of the videos seams like it provides something they want.

I can't begin to tell you how powerful true over delivery is, it goes a long way not just on increased conversions for an initial sale... it also leads to more back end sales of both low and high end products. It even will lead to more subscribers and people that will be willing to stay on your list because you over deliver.

When it comes to building a successful business having back end sales and a larger customer base are absolutely huge.

Another important factor of over delivering is that you'll attract more JVs and affiliates which will further increase your front and back end sale not to mention your customer list. Affiliates and JVs want to be associated with someone who over delivers because it reflects positively on them.

To really ramp up the amount of affiliates and joint ventures you have you should also consider over delivering on commissions, for instance everyone is giving 50% commission, just by giving 75% commission you immediately have an advantage.

Always remember providing lots of value and over delivering can do wonders for your business. Find out more about how I make money online by joining my free internet marketing membership site.

Major Factors To Instantly Increase Affiliate Commission

A great way to increase your affiliate commissions is to look at some major factors. Lots of people spend far too little time looking into what products to promote.

The reason is because most internet marketing products tell you to do the same thing, go to clickbank and pick a product based on some factor.

There's actually a lot more to picking out a great product to promote and it requires a shift in your mindset, you need to think about the 'big picture'. Specifically this means you have to really look at who your audience is based on the traffic sources you plan on using, for instance a product that sells well for my subscriber list may not sell well for your subscriber list regardless of the predicted conversion rate.

Of course conversion rates are an important metric to look at but even more important than that is the visitor value which means how much you can potentially make per each visitor you send. This is a combination of the conversion rate and price point. If you don't have that visitor value then make an estimate and go from there.

Another thing that hardly anyone considers is does this product work good with my promotional model?

This means, will you be able to pre-sell it effectively. That's important because you want to pick a good match for you based on how you plan to sell the product. So if you have a specific model that you use to sell your products, then consider if the product fits that model or not.

To sum it up you need to find products that work good into your model based on your traffic source and pre-selling techniques. Plus make sure you look at the visitor value not just the conversion rate or commission amount.

You Don't Need Page 1 On Google To Make Money

One thing everyone seems to make a big deal about when it comes to making money online is getting page 1 on Google for their search terms.

While it will help you, it shouldn't be your main concern. Your main concern should be how can I optimize this site for conversions and how can I provide value on my site. If you optimize your site for human visitors you're more likely to get more traffic in the long run. The reason for this is that more people will link to your content and share it on social media sites because you provided that value to the visitor.

I recently got one of my sites to page 1 of Google after about a month of the site being live and I have yet to see a difference in results from that page one listing. The point is if that keyword you work so hard to rank for ends up being a bust then you just wasted a bunch of time and money.

On the other hand if you aimed to provide a great user experience and got direct traffic from several sources then you're likely to see results regardless of where your site ranks in the search engines.

3 Key Components Of A Short Advertisement - The A.B.A. Method

There are 3 key components to every successful short advertisement. When you fully understand this method you'll be able to make all of your advertising more effective as well as increase conversions across the board which results in more money in your pocket.

Specifically, I'm going to teach you the A.B.A. method which you can apply to all advertising and almost type of copywriting... even something as simple as article marketing. The result will be more traffic and more sales which is what making money online is about right?

Attention
The first thing you want to do is grab your visitors attention. This is really important because if you're ideal prospect views your headline and it doesn't get their attention you lost a potential sale. A good way to get attention is to use some powerful words or a question. Some example of powerful words are: secret, discover, reveal, warning, attention, announcing...

As you can see all these words bring about an action in the visitors mind, they feel a certain way when they see these words and that can immediately draw them in. Of course you want to also include something related to your product to attract interested prospects.

Benefit
The second important thing to do is to include benefits they will receive by taking your desired action. These benefits will depend highly on your product, but try to think as though you're telling your ideal prospect that's already excited exactly what they want most out of taking your desired action (try and be truthful).

If it's a short ad make sure that you get across the biggest benefit or benefits because those are the benefits that will have the largest impact and as a result make you the most money, don't confuse this with using really general benefits.

Action
The 3rd component is to get the to take action, you could even use the headline to communicate your desired action or the very first few words of your advertisement. This way you are telling them to take your desired action multiple times. At the very least make sure you have a call to action at the end of your advertisement.

As long as you keep these 3 components in all of your advertisements and continue to increase your skills in these 3 areas you should be able to create really effective ads that will have a dramatic impact on the results you get.

How To Pull Off Multiple Online Income Streams

One of the best and most challenging things you can do in your online business is to have multiple online income streams.

Most people have a hard time developing one online income stream - if that's you I want you to pay close attention to what I'm about to say in this article.

The key to managing multiple income streams is to develop and systematize 1 income stream so that it takes very little of your own personal time to maintain.

A great example is setting up a website, optimizing it and getting it ranked on the first page of Google, once it's getting traffic and producing conversions your practically done, besides the occasional maintenance and testing which is optional.

This method can be applied to any online business as long as you focus on getting enough quality traffic and optimizing that traffic to produce good conversions.

It's also true that many online business models require constant maintenance and that's why you need to understand how to systematize your business so that it requires less of your time and effort. For instance you could set up a system to produce continual traffic to your website(s).

You could also set up a system to continually monetize that traffic such as an autoresponder follow up if you are building a list. The point is get as much of the work done as you can so you can move on to another income stream.

I know a hand full of people who are always working hard to create new products and many of them get burned out because it requires so much of their time.

That's why you should set up your business so that it doesn't require lots of continual maintenance because then you allow your business to continually grow over time, which of course results in more and more profits over time.

Video Creation Tips For Fast Authority Traffic

There are several advantages of creating videos, once you get over the technical and fear hurdle you may find that it's your favorite form of promoting yourself and creating high quality content which can be sold at a higher price, I explain more in my free internet marketing membership site.

Creating videos is one of the easiest and fastest ways to get traffic online. The great thing about videos is that they are authority builders... meaning that you instantly generate more authority with a video than you would with an article. The reason for this is that viewers get to see who you are or at the very least get a sense of who you are from your voice.

Your first few videos may be shaky and you may be quite uncomfortable like I was... but after you do them for a few months you'll find that they become easier and more fun. A good way to get good at videos is to start off with screen capture and then powerpoint or other presentation software and finally live action videos.

For screen capture videos I recommend Camtasia for PC or Screenflow for Mac although there are some good free and low priced solutions that you may want to start out with.

When you move on to live action videos you should go with a simple video camera like a flip or Kodak Zi8, they're fast and easy to use plus they can be easily uploaded to your computer even YouTube within minutes.

Finally, you'll also want to plan out what you will say in your videos I like to start out with my name and website then explain 1 to 3 points and finally end by making a call to action to go to my website to learn more about the topic.

A Good Lead Offer Gets Maximum Subscribers

This week on my new show 'Jeff Bode's Business Tactics' on the talk marketing now network, I talked about what makes a good offer to build your list.

While many people just go and find PLR or giveaway rights to a product that has a cool ecover, I think you're going to have a much harder time building your list that way because of the fact that you are missing a huge opportunity to stand out and connect with your audience.

Being unique also means you have something that nobody else can give away to build their list... as well as open the doors for new traffic streams that only except original unique products.

Don't be confused product creation is not hard or time consuming and once you get good at it you stand to make a lot of money.

Here's what I mean... 1st you need to find a hot topic this is easy for any niche thanks to the power of online search engines. I usually search forums 1st and then go and look for the top blogs in my niche just by doing that you should be able to find a ton of quality information specifically looking for what is popular and you'll have a guaranteed winner.

Once you've got some ideas all you have to do is organize the information and give a few valuable tips to solve just 1 problem your potential prospect is having. If you can do that and communicate that well on your squeeze page you're likely to get a high conversion rate.

Easy Way To Increase Exposure Of Your Sales Pages

One simple thing I've done in my business that has dramatically increased my profits is increased the exposure of my sales pages. This allows my customers and potential customers to get repeat exposure to my sales letters and many of them will buy multiple products (assuming they're good).

It's actually really simple to do...

All you have to do is copy and paste your sales page headlines and turn them into links.

The key is to make them stand out slightly use bold and make the entire headline a link because bigger links are more likely to get clicked.

I usually use a sidebar and a quick note on the main section telling them to check out my products, even an arrow pointing to them.

Keep your best products at the top of the list and a good one at the bottom that way you maximize sales. See an example on my internet marketing blog < click here

You can also create a designated page with the sole purpose of listing your product line and you might want to include a small discription of each product along with the headline.

Here are the best places to use this method...

Your blog

Your thank you page

Your download page

Your membership site

Your email signature (only list a few or link to a page that has all of them)

Any other place where traffic is sent regularly or on autopilot [integrated with your followup/optin process]

Do this and you're sure to get more exposure and more sales go here to find out more internet marketing strategies

How 1 Simple 10 Minute Tweak Can Increase Your Product & Affiliate Sales By 3x

This is by far the easiest way to make more sales of your own or affiliate products in under 10 minutes by using copy and paste simplicity.

It works best if you have an email list as you'll find out in a minute, but it will also work great if you have an automated blog.

First of all I'm Jeff Bode and I have to admit, the basis of this technique is something I've seen other smart online marketers doing and decided to implement the same thing, however I thought of ways to make it better, much better...

If you have a list of buyers and a blog with good information, you'll make way more cash by implementing this technique... if you're not to that point, then I want to help you get there because you really should be (I'll get to that at the end).

Here is the basis of the this simple tweak, what you do is create or use your existing blog, in the sidebar you'll simply copy and paste the headlines of each of your products or of affiliate products you recommend.

You'll want to make the entire headline into a hyperlink because big hyperlinks are more likely to get clicked than small ones. Plus the headline will get your blog visitors attention, especially if they are toward the top of your blog.

I like to make each of the links open in a new window, that way they can always easily click on another sales page and have more of a chance of buying a product.

You can also title the widget, you'll want to use something like: Recommended

Here's my actual blog which shows how I implement this http://jbode.info

I also have other blogs that I copy and paste the same widget into, one of them is a free membership site, and I've also used this on automated blogs.

If you don't have your own products, then simply use affiliate products.

Lets Talk Traffic

The real power of this system is getting repeat visitors, you can do that by simply including a link at the end of each email you send to your subscribers, I use something like this:


[email body goes here]


yours truly,
Jeff Bode
-----
find out what's new on my blog
http://jbode.info


end of email

So that's it, when people open your email and are not interested in what you are offering, but still have some time... guess where it's really easy for them to go?

Yes, your blog and then they are voluntarily sold to by your sales letter headlines in your sidebar (see they're going to your blog and sales pages on their own so they don't have their guard up and they'll be more likely to read your sales page)

Plus you didn't have to do any extra work at all, just send an email with a few simple lines at the end, now you don't have to fight for email time with the 5 billion other people sending their emails, because they can read up and buy your products from your blog. Just make sure you post good information on your blog, this is where they get a taste of how good the information you offer really is.

Hey I know we could all use some more subscribers so, here's a link to another report I wrote about getting subscribers (it's good stuff I use too)
download list building exposed 2.0 report

I mentioned you can also use automated blogs with this as well, you'll have continual new traffic that is exposed to your offers, but they won't be as likely to buy just because the content on the blog won't be as good and they probably won't return to the blog, you should highly consider adding an email optin form (or a few) on these blogs.

I encourage you to take just 10 minutes out of your day to implement this brain dead simple strategy you'll be happy you did... plus I'm always happy when my subscribers take action on stuff I teach them, so don't let me down. Go here now to find out more free money making tactics.

How To Make More Money Doing Less

The single biggest reason people want to start an online business is because they want to work less for the money they make... I know this because people are naturally kind of lazy, if they don't have to do something most likely they won't really want to do it.

That's why I know you'll enjoy what you are about to read in the next few minutes. I'm Jeff Bode and I've been studying and implementing this in my own business and I can successfully say that by truly following this advice you will make more money and work less.

So what is this mystery secret?

It revolves around time management... specifically what you do and what you spend your time doing when you 'work' on your business. No matter what level you are at in your business its likely that you could definitely manage your time better to increase your profits for the amount of time you spend working on your business.

Have you heard of the 80/20 rule?

For out purpose the 80/20 rule means that 20% of what you do will produce 80% of your results.

Simply knowing this means that by simply spending more time on that profitable 20% stuff you'll make more money and spend less time working.

The rest of the stuff that produces little to no results should get minimal time and attention by you. This means you can outsource this stuff or do it at the end of the day when your other task are completed (the profitable 20%).

I know many people don't have a profitable 20% yet, so here is my suggestion...

Choose the task that are most likely to produce the most results for the time you spend doing them.

For instance, getting new paying customers through a joint venture partnership would be more profitable and take less time than writing 50 articles and submitting them to 100 article directories.

It's clear that once you really focus and develop these specific 'most profitable' areas of your business you will increase your results for the amount of time spent.

A Service based online lead generation objective is to encourage your online customer to sign up to a web form or contact a consultant.

A Product based online lead generation objective is to encourage your online customer to go the the check out and purchase the product.
The two options require their own unique digital marketing and online lead generation strategies, to suit the individual circumstances of the product or service, read the rest at online lead generation.

How To Get 2k Visitors Per Day To Your Website

If you want to get 2,000 visitors to your website in a single day the best possible thing you can do is submit your content to multiple sites every single day.

After a few months you'll have so much information online that should all be directed to your website that it will be hard for you to not get a large volume of traffic.

The key is to provide good information and give people a good reason to come to your site for instance giving them something of value is a great way to increase your website traffic and bring in site visitors that are more likely to take action.

This reminds me of a time when I created a really good article, I could have easily sold it for $17 or more but I decided to post the content on several sites and I even gave the report away. I got a ton of traffic and people were raving about the information I provided. I then decided to spread the information further so what I did was I turn the same ideas and information into a video and I turned that video into an mp3. Next I submitted that video to a hand full of my favorite video sharing sites and took the mp3 and added it to some good pod-casting sites.

The result was a bunch of new happy leads into my business that I wouldn't have gotten and the funny thing is many of those leads ended up buying other products from me because I provided so much value without asking for any money. Those are customers I would have never reached if I decided to just turn my golden information into a report that I could sell for $17.

The key is to expose as many people as you can to your good content and they will naturally want more from you. If you would like to find out how I make a full time income with my online business then you owe it to yourself and your future to check out my Cash Quick Start free membership site for internet marketers.
