Marketing Models for the beginner

One of the biggest problems people have before beginning their internet business is simply this:

They are not certain of which business model to go for.

If you are not yet sure what you want to do to make money online, here are the 7 most popular money-making models you can copy:

1. Sell Your Own Products

Marketing your own products has got to be one of the best routes to take.
Other than not limiting yourself over the control of the product, the
price, the quality, you can also have other people sell your products
for you as an affiliate.

Leveraging on other people’s efforts is key to your advancement in any internet business you’re in.

If you are going to sell your own products, make sure you have good
sales copy. This is because the sales letter will decide whether you’re
going to sell 1 or 1000s of your product.

2. Become a Reseller

This has got to be one of the easiest ways to get started making money
online. You invest some money in purchasing the resale rights licenses
to other people’s products and you start selling it almost immediately.

Using this model, not only can you save time, you can also test the waters first before venturing into your own products.

3. Affiliate Marketing

In this model you are also marketing and selling other people’s products. However as
an affiliate you wouldn’t need to invest any money upfront at all.

To start making affiliate commissions, all you have to do is sign up
for any affiliate program which you’re interested in, and start
promoting it in your market.

If people buy the affiliate product through your affiliate link, you
make the commissions set by the affiliate owner. Although you wouldn’t
need to invest anything upfront, most of the time an affiliate have no
control over the sales process of a product.

4. Virtual Real Estates

Storming the Internet Marketing industry currently are the infamous
Virtual Real Estates(VRE). Creating VRE websites means that you’re most
probably going to make money through web content, Google AdSense,
pay-per-click programs and affiliate programs.

A major advantage of VREs is you can make longer term profits which
continue to grow everyday. This will be true as you INCREASE your web
content and optimize your website for the search engines correctly.

5. Forums

People love to talk, discuss ideas and generally hang out with
like-minded folks. Forums can be extremely profitable because you can
monetize the repeat traffic they generate.

People who participate in discussion boards are probably regulars who
visit often, giving you opportunities for endorsing a product
repeatedly to them. You can also earn a lot of Google AdSense income
from your members.

6. Web Space Advertising

If you have a website with extremely high traffic, one of the best ways
to profit from it is simply to sell your web space to other people.

How do you accomplish this? All you need to do is sell advertisement on
your website for a period of time, for example 30 days. These can be in
the form of banner ads, classified ads or text link ads.

7. Ezine Advertising

People are constantly searching for related ezines to advertise in, and
if you have a good ezine, selling advertising is a big possibility. You
can sell a classified ad, a top sponsor ad or a solo ad in your ezine.

If ezine advertising suits your taste, what you need to do is build a
huge list of responsive subscribers in your niche. This will not only
attract advertisers, but you can also sell advertising space direct to
your existing subscribers.

You can apply any of these 7 model to your internet business and make
real money online.

How To Make Money With Your Blog

I'm sure that you have heard and know what a Blog is and that
thousands of people make a nice profit from them or you wouldn't
be reading this right know...but the point here is How to make them
profitable.

You can have a nice, well written and atractive Blog but if no one
reads it there's no value in it!
So, the important thing is to drive traffic to your Blog in a way that
you get readers and, if possible, monetize it.

To do so, the following tips are ways and methods of promotion,
marketing and traffic to your Blogs:

Tip 1- Linking to other sites

Exchanging links with other bloggers or webmasters is one of the
best and proven ways to get targeted traffic.
It requires a little work-emailling the site owners and do a follow up,
but the outcome is well worth it!
There are other linking methods, such as a good testimonial for a
product that you may have have bought ( if it's good the owner of
the license may post your comment and website link in the sales
page ).

The easy way is to get software or services to automate the task of
requesting links to the webmasters: they can be quite good and they
are all over the Internet. >link<

Tip 2- Blog Commentaries

A powerful marketing and advertising machine! Not only it will bring targeted
traffic to your Blog but is also a very good linking strategy.
And let's not forget that is a passive type of marketing/advertising and
you only have to find niche related Blogs and post a comment with a link in
the end; this way other users that see the post have the opportunity to visit your
Blog as well.
Neverless, don't be a spammer and you will be rewarded.

Tip 3: Blog Directories

These directories are similar to search engines but for Blogs only. The best
practice is to submit your Blog to the major ones such as Feedburner or
Technorati.

There are also pinging services that allow your Blog to be Indexed faster.
Pinging means that you notify the service that you have updated the Blog
and they willl publish the new post to avid readers and search engines.

Tip 4: Articles

My favorite and definately one of the best ways to bring targeted, constant
and long-life traffic to your Blog. Writing your own articles and posting them
in articles directories is a passive and constant free advertising way of traffic generation.
Just be sure to include your resource box in the end of the article: that's
where you promote your Blog or Site.

But writing can be time consuming and to leverage your efforts you should
have a system to create and submit your articles. The best that I know is

Tip 5: Writing Press Releases

Also a very effective and free way to drive very good traffic to your Blog.
The only downside is the short time that it brings traffic to; a continuosly
writing would be nice to monetize even more that targeted traffic.

One of the oldest and most trusted news network is PRWeb.com.
You can also use an automated service, just look up in Google and you
will find one that suits your needs.

Tip 6: Mailing Lists

No Business can do without it and a Blog can very well be a leads catcher
for any other opportunity that you might have in your niche, not only for the
success that it will bring but to build a solid relationship with your readers.
Repeated traffic is the key of a controlled strategic plan.

Tip 7: Ezines

You can start your own and provide quality content for your readers so you
can attract a good base of readership to your Blog.

Tip 8: Pay for Traffic

There are several ways to advertise: adwords, solo ads, banners...

Tip 9: Giving Free Stuff

Who doesn't like to download some good information? If you make it viral you have a marketing and advertising medium to reach out thousands.
Check for more info on that.

Tip 10: Discussion Boards

If you find a large forum related to your niche, post comments and a signature
file inviting the users to check out your Blog. Be friendly, as you surely are, ;) and you'll be suprised to see that traffic soaring!

To end: work on it, be persistent and tweak up your know-how.
Marketing and advertising it's not some big bug, you just have
to work and learn along the way... the smart way!
