Five Key Principles You Need To Make Money In Online Marketing

tdomf_26fc1 — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 11:56:06 +0000

This is a guest post by John Chablo. See below for the author’s brief bio.

Consider these important principles of online marketing…

1) Belief

Can you succeed without belief? It’s all to do with your mindset, and as Henry Ford once said, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t, you will always be right.” So, if you go into your business venture thinking that it won’t work and will fail, it invariably will, as that is your expectation. Sometimes it may be hard to maintain your belief, particularly in the early stages of your business, as you don’t always see things happening as quickly as you might have expected, and then negative thoughts may start to creep in. This is entirely natural, and it is at this point in your journey, that you need ensure that persistence is on your side!

2) Persistence

Persistence is a great leveller, as it is an attribute that anyone can employ, whatever your intellect or capability. You really don’t need to have studied at the top universities to be able to make a great success of your business. In fact, many successful entrepreneurs and businessmen started with nothing, apart from a desire to succeed, and of course, persistence. When things get tough or you’ve been knocked back, you need persistence to pull you through. Many people may well give up at this point, but if you are truly serious about succeeding, persevere, try and try again, until you get what you want or where you want to be.

3) Right Business System

However, if you have chosen to follow a business system, you need to ensure that it is one that is not only proven to work, but that it will also give you what you need, in terms of backup and training. Remember, if you are new to internet marketing, you will need training and guidance, just like you would in any new job, so this should be one of the key elements when assessing your chosen system. If the system has already worked for lots of other people, then there should be no reason as to why it shouldn’t work for you as well.

4) The List

The List – this should be your mantra! Your list is your business, never forget this. All your marketing focus should be aimed towards building your list, as without this, the process of selling online becomes much, much harder, as you are then trying to sell to new, individual customers each time. And as all the marketing gurus will tell you, it’s much harder to find a customer than it is to retain them.

5) Relationships

But, to get a customer in the first place, they need to know and trust you. People buy from people! So, you need to be building relationships with your leads, and not bombarding them with the hard sell, to earn their trust, so that in time, they will listen to you and what you have to offer. The same rule apples for your customers, build the relationship, keep in contact, as you ideally want your customers to buy from you over and over again.

Keep these five principles close to you on your journey, and success and wealth will be virtually assured for your internet marketing business.

Earn $5 for 5 Reviews (Up to $100!)

Shai Coggins — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 02:21:21 +0000

If you’re looking to make some extra moolah from the things you’ve been buying, why don’t you head on over to Shopping.com.au and start reviewing stuff? They’re currently running their $5 for 5 Promo, wherein you can review 5 products that are available on their site and you’ll get paid $5. The money is payable via Paypal. And, the promotion ends on the 30th of June 2010.

They have also shared a guide on how to write a review on their site, if you need a bit of help. But, it looks pretty straightforward. Check out the list of products that they wished to be reviewed. I’m not sure if you’re allowed to review anything else that’s not on that list.

Also, unfortunately, ~~I can’t seem to find any information on who can join the promotion. Since this is an Australia-based shopping site, I’m not sure if reviewers can come from anywhere in the world*. And, since~~ I haven’t personally joined the promotion, I’m not certain how it all works out.

I would’ve loved to be able to do a full report on the promo, but I don’t have the time to investigate it fully. I would’ve normally skipped writing about it because of that. But, in case it’s legit, I don’t want any of you to miss out. So, if you’re interested, check it out. They have also put an email address for questions, if you have any.

Good luck and do let me know if you give it a go.

UPDATE:
*“Qualifying Reviewers” for the purpose of this Promotion must:
a) be Australian residents of 18 years or over, who are registered users of Shopping.com; and
b) have or create a valid Australian PayPal account prior to the time at which the prizes for this Promotion are distributed.

Thanks, Lara Kulpa, for the update!

Poll Results: What Do You Buy The Most Online?

Shai Coggins — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 12:30:55 +0000

I’m finally able to share with you the poll results from our last poll, “What Do You Buy The Most Online?”

And, as you can see from the chart, according to JMMO readers, Electronics or Gadgets (phones, computers, etc) come first (22% of votes). Then, Books and Magazines come next (15%). Followed by Fashion Items (clothes, shoes, accessories, bags) (11%).

Then, there’s a tie between Digital Information Materials (ebooks, reports, etc) and Pornographic Material*, both receiving 10% of votes each.

Games* received 9% and there was also a 1% vote for Online Gaming Subscriptions*.

The next one that people buy online the most are Children’s Items (baby stuff, toys, etc) (7%), followed by Home and Garden (appliances, accessories, etc) (6%).

Then, there’s Art and Crafts (raw materials or products) (4%), Site Memberships or Subscriptions (3%), and Services (workshops, consultancies, etc) (2%).

Knowing where people like to spend money is a good way to study the online market. As online entrepreneurs, we might consider some of these options as possible business ventures.

By the way, there were 115 votes collected in this poll. Thanks again to all of you who voted!

* Reader-added options.

Poll Results: What Do You Buy The Most Online?

Cash In from HubPages!

Shai Coggins — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 08:27:42 +0000

It has been a while since I last shared a Show Me The Money post here at JMMO. It’s just that I haven’t really had a chance to experiment with a lot of new income sources lately. I think I’ve pretty much been using the same strategies and services the last few months that’s why I haven’t had much cause to share here.

Or so I thought!

I realised that even though I have shared my discovery of HubPages with you almost two years ago, I’ve never reported any incoming income from this source. I think it’s partly because, silly me, I never thought about adding a Google Adsense tracker in my account. So, I never really knew if my measly 3 HubPages were making me any sort of income. A few months ago, I finally started tracking my HubPages account.

And, guess what? It HAS been making me some cash via Adsense. Not a lot of money, mind you. But, with just 3 quick articles, I realised that I’m still able to earn some passive income from them. So, I think that’s great. It makes me think that maybe I should try to add a few more articles in there…

Anyway, this shows that the comment left by my fellow online writer and friend Marye Audet really is something worth considering:

“I have been writing for Hubpages for about 1 1/2 years. I have nearly 400 articles. And, at this point, I am hitting over $500.00 in residual affiliate money every month, with adsense being a large percentage of that. I am not as involved in the community aspect as many others because of other writing commitments and simple lack of time. Anyway, if you are not looking for instant financial gratification and willing to work up to a significant income AND post enough to pique google’s interest, it is a great option.”

So, what about you? Have you created your HubPages yet? Are you making some passive income through some of your content?

How to Make Money Online without a Website

tdomf_26fc1 — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 00:12:28 +0000

This is a guest post by Kevin Frost. Read his short bio at the end of this article. Please note that this piece contains a number of external links that take you to different websites outside of JMMO. Please note that JMMO is not affiliated with any of these sites/links. Thanks! — JMMO Editor

One of the most common questions we get is: “How can I make money online if I don’t yet have a website?” Websites, after all, usually require at least a small investment in purchasing a domain name, web hosting, etc. Then before you can make money with a website, you need to spend time adding useful content, marketing it, and building links before Google will notice you and start to send a bit of traffic your way.

So, what do you do if you just want to know the easiest way to make money online, without having to worry about any of that technical stuff?

Fortunately, these days there are several options for making money online that don’t require a website. If you have a computer with internet connection, a bit of free time, and a dash of creativity, you can be earning your first online cash tonight!

5 Ways to Make Money Online With No Website

Do a Simple Task on Fiverr
Fiverr is the best of a new breed of “microjob” websites that allow people to outsource very small jobs for very small payments. Right at this moment people are earning 5 bucks a pop for such tasks as becoming someone’s Facebook girlfriend, recording a sexy voicemail message, or critiquing a blog design.
Get Paid to Write
If you can write well, you can quickly and easily make money writing articles for a number of websites online. The easiest way to get started is via revenue sharing websites like Helium.com, AssociatedContent, or eHow. At these sites you’ll generally only earn a few dollars per article, but they can serve as “credits” to help you get higher-paying gigs writing for blogs or other websites. For example, right now my site MakingMoneyOnline.com is hiring an experienced blogger to write 2 “blogging tips” articles per week at a much higher pay rate then eHow. Interested? Inquire within!
Help out a Student
Remember those days of struggling to figure out a homework problem? Today students have “virtual tutors” on call 24 hours a day. If you know a thing or two about book-learning, you can get paid to help stuck students at websites like StudentofFortune.com and eHomeworkHelp.
Sell a Domain Name
Domain name investing is a great first step into making money online – all you need to get started is a credit card and a knack for words. You can find high quality domains for sale at auction sites like TDNAM.com.
Become an Expert
The say that everyone is an expert at something. Now, new websites allow you to cash in on your expertise by helping people with specialized problems (for a fee, of course!). One of the best is MiNeeds.com, where people are willing to pay anywhere from a dollar to hundreds of dollars for specialized expertise.

Hopefully that’s proof enough for you that there are legitimate ways to make money online without a website. Now it’s up to you to get started!

eCommerce WordPress Themes

Shai Coggins — Sun, 23 May 2010 07:43:30 +0000

I love WordPress. I’ve tried nearly every CMS and blogging platforms out there and I always come back to WordPress. I just like how extendible and configurable it is. You can do just about anything you wish to do online with it. Including creating your very own online store!

Two themes I’ve tried that make it easy to create an online shop are:

Crafty Cart – This is a pretty looking theme that enables you to have an online store using your WordPress installation. It’s perfect for crafters, artists, and other creative type online businesses. You can come up with individual shopping pages and there’s a shopping cart where buyers can easily view their purchases. The best part of this theme: It’s completely FREE!

Market Theme – This is a fully functional eCommerce WordPress theme that integrates with a variety of functions – including Paypal, Google Check-out and e-Junkie. It comes with all the plugins that you need to get it working. Individuals can buy it for $55 standard license (you can use it on one or more of your own site – but not for other people). Developers can buy the $150 developer license to use for client work.

Do you have a WordPress-enabled eCommerce website? What theme and plugins do you use to make money online with your WP-powered online shop?

Web Hosting: The Crucial First 24-Hours

Shai Coggins — Sat, 15 May 2010 02:55:12 +0000

I was in the market for a web hosting service. After hours of research, I tried to sign-up for a hosting company called iPage. Within 24 hours, I knew that I made a mistake. How did I know that it was a terrible hosting company?

Here goes my list of “signs of a bad hosting company”:

If the ticketing service isn’t straightforward. For example, not getting any response for over an hour is bad in my book. On top of it, charging for “Premium Support” is just plain awful. Why make your paying customers feel that they need to pay extra just to get decent service?
There’s no proper documentation on how to get set-up. I got a couple of initial emails, and they weren’t helpful at all in helping me to get set-up. And, going to the website didn’t provide any better answers.
The lack of documentation is even worse when you have an account management interface that isn’t familiar to most people. CPanel is popular, so that may not need a lot of documentation, especially for folks who have been on the web a long time. But, if the web hosting company has a not-so-popular account management system, then the least they can do is provide adequate documentation.
If there are issues in setting up FTP and other matters, they don’t help to get them sorted within 24 hours.

There were only two things that saved iPage for me: One is the fact that when I managed to get a hold of someone via their “live chat”, I started getting quicker responses to my Support Tickets. And, the other saving factor: They had a refund policy that I managed to take advantage of. They also waived any additional charges in cancelling my account. So, thank goodness for that. I have had some bad hosts before who charged me for cancelling even though they had a 30-day money back guarantee.

What about you? What kind of bad hosting service experiences have you had?
