How to really get a subscriber list
Good List Building Practices
Is it possible to build a large subscriber list by using your own knowledge? Of course you can! This method of building a list is really the simplest and easiest way to get people to signup for your business newsletter or opportunity.
I am sure you get hundreds of emails claiming you can get “hundreds or thousands of subscribers within days or weeks”. But, this rarely happens and once again you have spun your wheels or have exclaimed “Oops I’ve done it again”!
How to get people to sign-up for your newsletter
Getting folks to sign-up for your newsletter is really not that hard and you should not have to spend heaps of money doing it. Here is my method for pulling together lots of subscribers without spending a small fortune doing so.
- You will need a reputable list building email service. There are many good ones and you can find them by googling the following: list building email services.
I use aweber email services they are the best Setup your newsletter today.
- Add a newsletter to your blog or website. This is very easy to do. You can do this with an easy to use newsletter template…again just google “newsletter templates”. Or, you can get someone to build it for you…also called outsourcing web-design.
- Offer a free information to entice readers to join your newsletter.
- Develop a free e-book relating to your niche and offer it to get folks to subscribe to your newsletter.
- Now the hard part. Getting folks to visit your website so people can sign-up for your newsletter. It is important that you provide your subscribes with content that they are searching for. Not the same old material that has be re-done over and over again.
- You can do PPC to get instant traffic and this works really well but you’ve got to know how it is done correctly. There are thousands of PPC experts many are complete rip-offs, be sure you do thorough research before starting a Paid Per Click Campaign.
- SEO is another form of free website traffic and it does not cost anything other than your own research or time to do it correctly.
- Organic traffic such as article and social media marketing works very well especially for those who are short on funds.
- Once you have a list no matter how small it will become your primary source of income. You now have the ability to email your subscribers with other offers that will help build your own income.
It is important to note that providing your subscribers with good relevant content is what matters.
Internet Marketing is about your visitors and subscribers and not about you. Good list building practices will garner you customers. If you can connect with folks who are looking for what you have to sell or services you recommend, you will have a better chance of “selling it to them”!

What is organic search engine optimization? It is simply traffic that comes from search engines without any cost whatsoever. This can be done by optimizing your blog or site with keywords that your visitors are using to search for whatever they need.
If your site or blog has what they need then…whamo you’ve probably got a sale, subscriber or someone who will ask for further information. Organic traffic will always out perform any type of paid traffic.
The conversions and the visitors are much more likely to purchase something from an organic listing than a paid one.
Organic Search Engine Traffic
There are two big reasons why this is so.
- Most casual surfers will see the first page and will click on the top 10 or so sites listed. Most surfers have no idea that the side bar is for paid advertising.
- Your website or blog listing will always be there. Unless your doing something illegal or managed to get your site banned for whatever reason. The more often they see it there the more they consider your site legitimate.
We all started with organic traffic. Do you remember when you first submitted your website or blog to google, yahoo or DMOZ? Your pages or posts are still there and will be there until…the end of time?
Of course having a permanent listing does not guarantee lots of traffic or even any visitors. This is why most Internet Marketing professionals started to do more organic search engine optimization for all their sites.
Now we can get better results from doing our homework such as keyword research and site optimization.
So we now move up the ladder. The results are better but once again like a wild animal looking for food we start looking for better results.
Enter article writing this method is more organic than any other traffic source out there. You write an article and submit them to the top article directories and viola! You’ve got a backlink and depending on how good and useful your articles are you get traffic.
No credit card to give out nor any money transferred out of your big fat bank account. The only thing you invested is time and some brain power to shoot out an article.
If you submitted your article to the top professional article directories it will be there today, tomorrow or until the directory ceases to exists. I started writing articles about my gardening site 5 years ago. Many of these articles are still giving me traffic to the site.
Compare this to any PPC, Pay for traffic service or even the latest “Facebook is better than google for paid advertising ebooks” that are over populating my and your email folder!
Once you stop paying for this traffic it stops, it’s over no one will see it again. Organic Search Engine Optimization is like printing your own free money.
There are many other ways to do organic traffic such as press releases, podcasts, and marketing videos.
Most should know by now that in order to put this type of marketing to good use is to always develop and provide good content.

Researching your keywords for website traffic or getting top search engine rankings is very important.
This can catapult you from mediocre search engines results to getting ranked in the first page for most of your keywords.
So where does someone go to find free keyword research tools? Here are my top two tools to use for this purpose.
How to do Keyword Research Free
The numero one free keyword search tool is google’s external keyword tool. Google’s external keyword tool team has been working overtime figuring out what people are really looking for.
It is no surprise that it is now better than lots of other overly priced keyword tools. You do not need an adwords account to use it, matter of fact this is what most of the top Internet Marketers use for their own marketing purposes including myself.
I have hundreds of niche web pages that rank high just by using this tool alone. You can even download your keywords and save them later for further research.
Another free tool is Keyword Country. After trying a lot of keyword research tools in the market, I came across Keyword Country… and it works better than a fish swimming in water.
Their free version works better than other paid research tools. Using Keyword Country and google’s external tool together can get you more traffic than a busy L.A. interstate freeway.
Keyword Country connects to major search engines for keyword research (including Google, Yahoo, MSN, ASK) and also connects to the industry by performing a deep analysis of competitor websites. It also finds all the niche keywords your industry happens to be concentrating on.
Typing your keyword at Keyword Country will fetch you a huge list of keywords, these are sorted out and will give a list of words that will yield profitable keywords. Wow…niche keywords that will make you money.
These are my top two keyword research tools. There are many other but the ones mentioned here work extremely well and your traffic and google rank will spiral upwards if you use them accordingly.

What is an evergreen online business? In the horticulture or retail garden business it means “something that will last all year long” or “In the years to come”. Evergreen trees, shrubs or plants that you can use to have landscaping interests all the time.
So what does this have to do with an evergreen online business? Plenty, thousands of online businesses come and go search engines continuously change methods and money making programs come and go faster than a bullet going through pork fat.
Internet Marketing guru’s are always looking for the next big “money making model”. Once they find it they work it better than a pole dancer at the nearest college bar.
So how does someone really start and maintain a good professional online evergreen business? You research, and find what Internet surfers really want. Once you have that in your brain you start to develop a blog, website or online opportunity that will quench this need.
Most online marketers are looking for the fast buck and never realize that their own knowledge might do the trick. Maybe they were an offline broker, car salesman, insurance agent or a refrigerator repairman. Folks are always looking and asking for advice on how to fix, repair or find cheaper auto or repairing service.
Yes, developing a website or blog about fixing your own fridge may not garner your thousands of bucks in 2-3 months but if you do the right research it can bring you a substantial income.
This type of marketing is and can become a very lucrative “Evergreen Online Business”.

Start an Online Website
Posted by guzie on January 27, 2010 under Internet Marketing |
You have started a website but would like to know how to make online sales? Here is my standard answer do not become a salesman! Offline I am a “Salesman” but the number one reason I make a living selling stuff is trying not to sell anyone anything.
You might be saying what the hell is this guy talking about? The only thing you should do is ask folks if they need help. If you don’t have the answer your chances of getting a sale are minimal.
You should never, ever tell them this is what you need or purchase this and you will get exactly what you want. The last thing you want is to become a hard-ass high pressure salesman.
What does work is to know your products inside and out. The majority of customers want the answer to their problem. How can I look better? Which products are right for me? Will this really work? If you know your product you can answer these questions and bam you’ve got the sale. It does not matter if it is a tangible, digital, e-book or service it basically works the same.
So now…how does this translate into making sales online? Easy you write useful unique content about your products. It could be about an affiliate product but it is important that you yourself have bought and used it. Otherwise you will not be able to tell others why it worked.
One of the challenges that people have when starting a new online business is getting traffic to their website. Without traffic you will not be able to make sales online.
How to make online sales tips below.
- Write great useful unique content on your website. The best way to write is to be your self. Search engine robots will crawl all websites on a frequent basis. I would say about 2-3 times per week. This is the pattern I get on my own websites. These search engine crawlers are looking for sites with fresh and new content. It is therefore important for you to have fresh and high quality content which will get your website quickly indexed by search engines.
- It is important that you have you relevant keywords and phrases that relate to your topic on your web pages. Write naturally about your products or service. Use your keywords in the title tag and sparingly throughout the page. This will increase your website ranking. You will therefore get many visitors coming to your site via the search engines. When people visit your website, the high quality content you have will make people spend more time on your site and ultimately buy some of the products or services you offer on your site.
- The only search engines you need to submit to are Google, Yahoo and MSN (now Bing). Submitting your URL to the search engines is an important step towards getting more visitors because it means your website will be visible from search engines. Having your website URL on search engines means that when people look for information relating to your topic on these search engines, they will find your website.
- You need lots of good back links and one of the best ways is to ask or email other websites owners in your niche that at least a page rank of 1 or higher. Exchanging links with popular and related websites is an effective way to drive traffic to your website, and improve the raking of your site. You will get some traffic coming to your website through other websites that you have linked to.
Remember to do your best to not sell anything online. But by writing and developing useful content that your website visitor wants you will soon realize that people will visit and stay a whole lot longer. The chances are also great that they will tell others about your great content. Making sales online is really easy if you follow these steps and you will soon see an increase in traffic to your website which will mean a lot of sales and online profits for your internet business!

There are hundreds of ways to get good one way backlinks to one’s site. And I will give you one of my methods of getting backlinks from other high pr blogs.
Of course everyone knows the more good content you have and the more backlinks you get are essential to your marketing efforts. Without these Internet Marketing techniques you are bascially swimming in sand.
My method may be considered a big unorthodox but it works really well. It might even be called grey hat by other marketers. But it easy to do and your credit card can stay in your pocket/purse. Ok so here it is my method.
We are all constantly being bombarded with emails (spam & non spam) from other so called marketing guru’s claiming they can give you the perfect opportunity, the easiest article marketing program or thousands of backlinks in a matter of days. Believe it or not I read most of these emails and more often than not they will always give away a free ebook in exchange for joining their list.
This is good really good…because I will enter my name and join. Most of these free ebooks are not very good and are usually the same old b.s. Ocassionally I get suprised with some really good ones. But the important thing is not the ebook but getting on this IM guru’s list.
Of course they will invariably send me more information about their products and so on. They also have blogs and most are already well established and have high PR’s ratings. So now here comes the good part.
These folks will usually ask you to comment on their blog concerning their latest ”blueprint marketing ebook” or their latest “product launch” etc… Of course I will comment and include my website url in the comment section.
There it is a backlink from a high pr blog. You might want to use a different email other than your primary one. It is important to actually read the persons post and be sure to make a legitimate comment not just some b.s. comment like “good info thanks”.
There you have it getting a good backlink to my site is pretty easy.

Promoting and marketing your blog is actually easy to do. If you really want to become successful at blogging the most common successful tip I can give you is this “The more you post the better your success rate”. Not only will your rate soar but your postings will become much more successful.
OK…so how does someone write and post about a blog once they get over the initial material? You do research….pretty simple and it works better than what most blogging Guru’s lead you to believe.
Of course they want you to purchase their latest blogging program, ebook or script that will guarantee 100% take no prisoners success. This is nothing but the biggest B.S. news since Richard Nixon said “I am not a crook”! Most folks love reading the latest news regarding their niche whether it is the newest and greatest video game right now or what Senior citizens are doing to live longer. This is what people want to know…and if you can deliver what they want they will purchase whatever it is you might be promoting.
Keep in mind that when blogging about any niche news the more current the news, the better. No one wants to read old outdated news, so it is an excellent idea to try and stay as current as possible.
So how does someone keep abreast on current niche news? At the risk of sounding like a broken record I will say this again anyway…Research your niche and provide your reader with the best good content you can provide your readers.
Be absolutely sure research does not lead to plagiarism. Never ever copy anything word for word…but you can get ideas regarding your niche to make superior posts.
Marketing and promoting your blog comes naturally for some and can be a little harder for others. Writing posts that are 100% your own is and will always outrank any and all paid, PLR or ghost writing services in any form. This form of promoting a blog is free, easy and does not require a whole lot of brain power.

Article Marketing Success
When you start writing articles it is often difficult to know what to do. There are many people giving out poor advice and if you are not careful you can be snowed under with the information that is online. There are many basics you need to learn and you should know what the first stages of article marketing for success are.
There are many things you need to know before you start to write the first sentence. You should always know what your goals are before you begin. Are you going to write a two part article and get the reader so interested that they have to come to your web site or blog to read the second part?
These questions need to be answered before you start your quest to become an article marketing person. You could run into some problems if you have no idea what to write or how you are going to succeed.
It is best to have a short introduction, the main body and then the conclusion in every article you are writing. You need to choose how long you want your article to be. I personally like articles in the 250 – 500 word range. Some folks go for a higher word count. Only you can settle on the perfect length of your article. You might have articles which are in the 400 words range, but there will come the time when you have to put more words in your story to get the point across.
It is best to plan how to write your first article. It is very important to know which keywords you are going to use, and keyword research is something you should be doing. Look at the competition and see how you can put a new twist on your article.
If you purchased a product launch review, and you decide to write about it, why should your article be read out of the many thousands which will be written? Article marketing success is important if you want to stand out from the crowd. Planning is very important. It might not take long to do, but without it, you will be wondering why your success rate is low.
Once you have completed the first stage of your article marketing which is the planning stage, you are now ready to write that killer article for success.

Can someone really make money working from home?
Where…where can someone really find a good work from home opportunity? It’s crazy how many work at home opportunities come via your email or as you are surfing the Internet. They are everywhere on late night television the radio and more spam emails about how you too can make millions seemingly overnight.
The lure of working from home is a powerful copywriting technique that can make the owners of these opportunities rich. They spend thousands of dollars researching what makes the general online public click and buy. Most of these companies do not care if you make a fortune or not.
Even the most legitimate work at home jobs require up front cost and equipment to continue your job. Noticed I wrote “Job” this is what will happen if you do find a work at home typing or transcribing for some medial office. It’s great if you can earn a living working from home but once again you have a “job”.
But what about you? Do you want to “get rich too”? Of course you do but alas the programs above will only get you right back where you started! You can make a decent with these type of programs but once again you are working for someone else not for yourself. If you are just the average Joe or Jane trying to find an opportunity that can make you rich this post is for you.
The very first thing I can tell you is this…stop trying to get rich overnight and stop looking for that big fast payday. Work at home and enjoy the many benefits such as avoiding the commute, the flexibility, and freedom to make your own hours.
This is what most online marketers want including myself. I would be lying out of my teeth if I said otherwise! In fact many successful folks that work from home today are doing what they love to do online and at home and it has nothing to do with a medical transcriber or typist type of work. So what is this wonderous opportunity that I am writing about?
Relax I’ll tell you right now start your own successful profitable website. The cost of starting your own online business pales in comparison to the offline world. You can do this part time then expand to full time once you get the hang of it. The best part about starting your own website is you have the ability to do what you want. You can make a website about your abilities, your passion, your interest, or just about anything you feel will help others.
Not only will this be much easier you can also profit by developing your own website. It is not as hard as you might think it is.
