Online Internet Marketing Strategies

Today’s resource is one that few bloggers think about when it comes to building their lists. The reason may be that not all co-ops except blogs, but My Wizard Ads is the exception to the rule.

When you have content worth sharing, and the ability to add new subscribers to your list yourself (even if the system kicks out that double opt-in request, that’s okay!), then you may be overlooking a resource specifically designed to get you new readers!

People flock to ezine advertising co-ops after joining programs or starting new websites. Most do not have their own list, or are looking to add to a list, or just need traffic. Sounds like all of us, right?

By providing a page on your blog where you display their classified for a set period of time determined by you, you also gain a new subscriber! How easy is that?!

Here’s our example of classified ads, because, of course, we belong to the My Wizard Ads co-op (okay more than belong ).

What we did was create an HTML page, and then use our feedburner feed to upload the information. Or you can just create a regular “PAGE” on your blog and edit and add to that. It’s really very simple.

By providing others a place on your blog - not even the main page mind you - you are doing a “community service” so to speak and increasing your mailing list.

Stop on by and read all about how to build your mailing list through the simple process of working with a great co-op!

Thanks for reading, and we hope to see you soon!

COMMENTS? QUESTIONS? Post ‘em here!

By now you know how much we harp on commenting on blogs. Not only is it easy to do, but it’s absolutely, positively the best free form of marketing for yourself and your website - and a great way to gain a backlink (in most cases) in the search engines to your website link.

And now, especially for bloggers, there’s no reason not to… if you’re a member of Entrecard.

Entrecard and SezWho (a comment rating system) have joined forces to not only encourage your comments, but reward you for your efforts.

Here’s an excellent post that outlines the details (why reinvent the wheel?):
Top 10 Reasons Why Entrecard-SezWho Partnership Is Important For Bloggers

Frankly, we love comments and we love commenting - and we love free marketing!

And, for all you affiliate marketers and website owners without a blog, don’t think that commenting isn’t for you, too! Commenting can be incredibly lucrative - both in short and long term internet marketing and search engine linking… (and did we mention it’s free!).

Let’s face it, people pay big bucks to purchase a spot on websites and blogs. But commenting is FREE and gets you the same - actually even better - results! You get to pick and choose. Your comment remains on the blog forever. And no one will disconnect your link at a whim (or if you stop paying).

Of course the idea is to provide insight or feedback or a pat on the back to the blogger. Or to (kindly) dissent when appropriate. Your quality comments get you visitors to your website.

People are curious animals and a good comment always makes me click through to see what’s on the other end. Visitors that didn’t cost you a dime, just a bit of time.

And, if you use Firefox (we’re partial to Firefox), and have the Alexa addon, you’ve got the perfect tool to check for traffic ranks on the blogs you stop on and comment on (keep in mind it’s just a tool, who’s to say where your next client or customer might come from?).

So… Why purchase them, when commenting provides a natural (organic!) link for yourself on quality blogs?

It really is a no brainer.

Your Turn! Have your say right now! Comments welcomed!

NOTE: Before you get going, the title of this post is “secrets” not “methods.” People come up with all sorts of new ways of doing things, and open all sorts of new social media areas, and we give credit where credit is do. But they aren’t “secrets.”

For years, and I do mean years, we’ve been online explaining, demonstrating, and, in many instances, doing the hands-on work to help you be successful online.

And, throughout these years, we - like you - have been (and continue to be) inundated with special reports, new software, e-books, videos and more all ranting and raving how this is “the one.”

Rarely is anything “new.”

Let me explain by example before I continue:

Ten years ago, a script was developed that Read more »

One of the things a person must have control over in order to make money online is the landing page for what they are promoting. When you join an affiliate program you need to keep in mind that everyone is using the same page. Nothing unique there. And, maybe, just maybe, the landing page you’re sending people to just isn’t doing its job.

To add to your potential misery, Read more »

Yesterday, while Entrecarding it, I came across Michael’s So-Called Life.

And… his July 8th post most certainly caught my attention

We’ve talked here on this blog (and will continue to talk) about various ways to make money as a blogger (see our numerous postings in search form here). We even spoke about our testing of SocialSpark and getting paid to write.

And, not to leave website owners out, we’ve covered ways to make money that rely on your skills not your ability to talk “Aunt Sally” (remember her?) into buying into that next “hot program”

So it wasn’t surprising that the universe provided us with the perfect outside source - Michael - who also was talking about writing for money, AND giving us specific examples of just HOW MUCH MONEY (for him). Read more »
