4. The 4 Giant Lies You’ve Been Told About Internet Marketing!
To quote Peter Finch from the iconic 1970's film "Network": I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore! There are so many lies, half-truths, and misguided misinformation out there about online marketing that it's driving me crazy! I just finished reading yet another ebook by yet another "successful" Internet marketing guru. It kills me because the only thing most of these gurus are successful at is selling themselves and their "snake oil" to unsuspecting business people. They don't know squat about marketing a business on the Internet. But they do know how to push buttons. So these self-proclaimed "experts" LIE to you just to sell you their latest crap… books, tapes, and seminars or whatever it is they think ...

That's right, this question apply's to everyone who actively promotes other companys products and/or services as an affiliate or is considering it because you could be losing BIG BUCKS from your hard earned affiliate commissions because of those UGLY long affiliate URL's that scream out...

6. Simple Changes Can Boost Sales
Just a few minor changes to ad copy, tactics or business techniques can be enough to boost sales without burdening your budget. To modify your sales approach, choose one or more ideas from this list. 1. Use gifts or discounts to reward web site visitors and create good will that can spread virally.

7. How Affiliates Can Have Their Own Radio Show...
Before we start, I want to ask you one simple question. If you knew what you know today about how big blogging would be before it started, would you have started a blog? Well, in that case, you better pay close attention to podcasting! Pretty much everyone and anyone who knows the slightest bit about Podcasting thinks about the Apple I-Pod and how I-Pod users are using Apple's I-Tunes software to download their favorite songs over the internet. But what if I told you that you don't even need an I-Pod to podcast? As a matter of fact, to have your own podcast show, an I-Pod is absolutely unnecessary! The name "podcasting" is a combination of the name for Apple’s portable mp3 player, the "I-Pod," and the word “broadcasting.”...

Shop: Is Shopping Online Secure? Is shopping online becoming popular and safe enough for you and I to do the vast majority of our shopping on the Internet? As I contemplated, when I initially set up my website: www.shopshopshop.org The first thought that came to mind was will they come and will they spend money?

Safety was the first concern of those I had spoken to, they were somewhat skeptical and therefore reluctant to make any online purchases. It is our responsibility as online marketers to convince them to about the safety of online shopping. We all know about ...

9. Make Houses for Sale More Appealing
Making Houses for Sale Look Like Homes Are any of your houses for sale out there? If so, beware the appraiser! Appraisers not only use objective criteria for evaluating houses (i.e. location, structural integrity, they also use subjective criteria (i.e. landscape, paint, overall appearance). Buyers depend on appraisers and inspectors, as a rule, to check out construction details but tend to rely on their own feelings and impressions of how houses look and feel to make their buying decisions. Five tips for positively influencing those decisions with ease follow. 1. Houses that are clean and clutter-free are more attractive than houses that are not.

10. Learning Internet Marketing the Hard Way
Ok, so after reading many articles on internet marketing I decided to take the plunge and started my own website, and decided that url should be something that by itself would bring the shoppers to the website in droves. The url chosen was www.shopshopshop.org, that was pretty easy compare to what was to come, I remember reading in some ezine that getting the affiliates was the easy part. That may have been true at one time but no more. I decide to apply to the best names in retailing thinking they would be happy to have one more site out there peddling their goods, but not so, I started getting rejections from the likes of Dell, Hp and a few other big names. But in reali...
