Social Media Marketing – A New Marketers Best Shot?
Hey Jeff Bode here and I have to admit, I really want to help new internet marketers make their first sales online…
The thing is it’s such an awesome feeling when you make your first sale online, I still get excited when I make some nice commissions – it’s like I just did this… and someone was willing to pay me for that?
This article is for you! because I think anyone has an honest shot at making money by simply adapting the ‘let me help you approach’
You see there are tons of ways to make money online, but many of them are not new marketer friendly!
That’s where social media is different…
Have you heard of Perry Belcher? …he made over a million dollars using social media and he did it all in less than 2 years, just by building upon his social media success (unfortunately, he has retired from social media marketing a short time ago to spend time with his family)
So here’s the deal, the ‘let me help you approach’ is basically just that…
you deliver quality content and information
then ask people to be your friends or many times you don’t even have to ask!
next you drop links to your blog or optin (squeeze) page where they can get more information about you… better yet, more information about the subject you are sharing on the social media site(s)
if your product or a product you recommend helps them cha-ching!
Be the cool kid at the party, add value and be interesting – people love it if you can pull it off!
So here are the best places to start…
Twitter – This should be your main source of making friends and being helpful because you can easily find a massive amount of interested people…
I like to automate the process of getting followers see this video Twitters Elite
Next, post helpful information on your blog and on youtube…
This gives them a better chance to get to know you and choose to do business with you!
Here’s a few example tweets you could send…
Video – check out this video about [your niche topic]
Blog Post: [your blog post title]
Or you can use the ‘cool thing you just found approach’…
I just found this cool video [link to your video]
Check out this cool blog post
That should give you plenty of ideas to get going also make sure you recommend other quality stuff in your niche that’s related!
Now, I could have stopped there, but…
I wanted to tell you about a new social media tool you need to start using ASAP!
It’s called Google Friend Connect -see that box on the right side of my blog?
That’s for Google Friend Connect, you should add it to your blog today (even if it’s a free blog)
Here’s why…
Google is slowly releasing invites to Google Wave which will combine a bunch of social media sites and will be the ‘hottest thing’ for many reasons… it even lets you post twitter tweets in a wave and post videos, text, pics…
It’s great! I’ve been playing around with it for a few weeks now!
Every Google Friend Connect friend you can get will be a contact on Google Wave, this means you will already have Google Wave friends when you join Google Wave + you have Gmail (Google Mail) contacts as Google Wave friends…
Google Wave lets you be more helpful so you have a HUGE chance at getting new customers!
That’s not all, Google is going to release the Google Chrome OS soon this will allow Google to have a powerful commanding lead in social media many people will start using the Google Chrome Operating System (it’s all online).
Your chance to get a head start on everyone else is with Google Friend Connect
Be sure to click the ‘join this site’ button (left side of my blog) so that we can be Google Friend Connect friends – Like you I want Google Friend Connect friends so I can share Google Waves with you (when you get your invite)
Thanks for reading!

How Internet Marketers Get Income Security Online?
One of the biggest challenges that separates the full time marketers from the part time internet marketers is the full timers have ‘income security’ If you want to go full time online, you need to have income security in place.
Knowing that you will get relatively the same pay each month (if not the exact same) is a reassuring feeling, knowing you can relax and not have to worry about how much money you’re bringing in. This is one of the benefits a typical 9 to 5 job offers.
Shouldn’t this be important in an online business as well?
That’s exactly what I thought, so I wanted to share a few things you can do to make sure you are bringing in a monthly income even if you have a bad month and your typical sales are down.
The best thing you can do by far is to create or promote a membership site. From my personal experience I have both created and promoted memberships sites for the past few months and have noticed a nice increase in my income from very little effort.
Think about it… all you have to do is get a visitor to join a membership site, and then you will be able to get monthly paychecks (assuming the membership site is good). I admit I’m not the expert at membership sites… I made a lot of mistakes with my first membership site and it probably cost me a lot of money and I’m not sure I provided enough value – like I typically do with my products.
The lesson I learned is, don’t just create a membership site without knowing how to create a good one!
You see, I didn’t know how much content to provide and I had no idea how I would create enough content on a monthly or weekly basis. So here’s what I did, a few weeks ago I purchased a product from my friend Jason this guy creates some of the best products I’ve ever seen. So why am I telling you this, because he created a course on membership sites. That totally helped me realize everything I was doing wrong –thanks Jason!
The cool thing is you can set up a membership in under 6 minutes using free software. If you thought creating a membership site was hard, think again… I learned how you can easily create tons of content for a membership site and set it up for little to know cost (you don’t even have to be an expert). Plus you should know that getting new members is actually really easy using these secret techniques.
If you want to lock in your online income security you can learn how to create an awesome membership site by clicking the link below.

Automation Software Vs Outsourcing
Automation Software and Outsourcing both provide huge advantages to your business. Save you time and money is essential to be successful in any business. Having both automation tools and outsourcing resources will provide you with great possibility for success, if they are used correctly and are of good quality.
Let me make this clear before going into more detail, I have nothing against outsourcing and believe that they will always provide tons benefits to your business. Also they are real people and provided they do good work, treat them like people, this is how they make their living. If they do a good job and you are happy with their performance toward your business due consider offering them a bonus.
As a continuation from my previous post about Google Conquest and automation being the future of the internet business, I said that automation software will soon become more readily available and more reliable. This is what inspired me to right about this subject, also being blown away by the demo I say of Google Conquest.
I believe Automation software will change the way the internet business works. Providing quicker access to information sorted better than any search engines are currently providing. This means a shortcut directly to the sites you need to access most likely for getting content or promoting your site.
This gives you more of your most valuable resource “time” and as the popular saying goes time is money. I have recently found an increasing number of new valuable automation tools that actually automate the traffic producing process and as a result have been able to save time and money.
An unfair advantage, in my opinion, when compared to not having these tools and they are only going to get better. Like all technology, the internet is evolving because of this.
Another important point to bring up is that outsourcing can and may still cause a bigger investment of time. Think of how many times you may spend communicating with an outsourcer. Also you need to train them and pay them for every job. Yet, you still don’t have complete control of the work being completed.
The key is finding good people to outsource the jobs to is providing exact action steps for them to follow as well as writing your ad as though you only want the best people for the job. Good people will provide a good reflection of your business.
Your success is all about the resources you have and having quality resources that you use effectively will allow you to have almost unlimited success.
Lets get back to our comparison, lets say you pay someone $3 per hour on the low end to perform a job which can be performed by a good automation software that you pay a one time fee of $150 for. After 50 hours worth of work you will have made the money back from what your outsourcing would have costed you. Assuming you put the same amount of your own time involved.
Do you see the power in this?
So how can you have a huge advantage?
You may have already thought of this, using an outsourcer that uses the automation software. This combination will allow for huge profits as it can be the ultimate time and money saver.
Some issue to consider would be the outsourcer having access to the software and also training them to use it effectively, but both of these issue have solutions.
You may even want to know if your outsourcing partner is using some automation software already, and charging you an unfair hourly rate. To avoid this issue you may want to pay them based on the job they complete and also consider telling them how to get automation software, that will improve their job performance. Now you just have to decide automation software Vs outsourcing.
Easy Article Marketing – Marketing on Internet Search Engines
Marketing a product is the most important thing that must be done to let people know that a product exists. By getting the people hooked into a product and explaining how this can benefit the individual, a sale has been done.
When a person markets an article, it is not about promoting a product. Itís about getting the message across to the reader and making that individual come back for more.
Someone once said the pen is mightier than the sword. By being able to convey the message with good research and relevant issues, one will be able to get a lot of traffic.
Marketing in the traditional sense has always been done by putting an ad either in the newspaper, the radio and the television. The digital age has changed everything as information like the ones presented by writing articles is passed on to people not only in one country but throughout the world.
The best place to start in writing a good article is finding an interesting topic. This must be something relevant that a reader can relate to. Once a topic has been selected, it is time to write on it with a brief introduction then getting to the point. If the article has pros and cons, it is best to explain it so one wonít be accused of being biased.
There are many places where one can make this known to people. This can be written in the editorials of newspapers, in blog sites that are available on the web and printing out flyers that can be distributed to the people.
Of all the possible places, the best is in the internet since it is free and a lot of blog sites and created every single day.
Not everybody may like what one has written. Some will agree and disagree. By giving people the chance to express the individualís opinion or making a forum, it becomes a fruitful discussion where a person may or may not change sides.
Article marketing covers a wide range of topics. This can be about internet security to how to start a business that is written by many people.
Words are more important than pictures in getting the attention of people. The articles should be written in a way like one is having a conversation with another person. This creates trust with the reader and makes this person come back to read more articles in the future.
To keep the person interested, one should write short sentences that are simple for people to understand. This is because a majority of those who read donít have a high readership level compared to academic scholars.
This should also have short paragraphs composing of 3 to 4 sentences. Most people lose interest in reading an article with long paragraphs because it is tiring. This will make the reader skip that portion and proceed further in the article that could make the person miss out on important details and not fully understand the article.
People who have no idea where to start looking for a topic especially on the net use key words. These are chosen by the designers of the website. The best way to be seen is using a good headline and making sure that these are seen in more than one search engine for a lot of users to find.
After writing the article, it is best to proofread it for errors in grammar and spelling that sometimes happen even to the best writers.
So that people will know who wrote these articles, one should always put in the bottom a little detail of the writer. If one would like to hear feedback or reactions from readers, one can mention the email address or website if it exists so others can visit other works that the individual has done.
Anyone can do article marketing regardless of what field the person was in before. By writing topics that one is very familiar in, this could help boost the credibility of ones work.
Everyone has a message to convey and the best way for people to come back for more is being informative. More readers prefer articles that give meaning and have relevance than.
