Video Marketing Through YouTube

First things first, let’s get one thing out of the way – videos are the future.

It’s important to realize that now is the time to learn the power of videos. They are picking up speed ridiculously fast and it won’t be long until every internet marketer and his grandma are trying to monetize using video content.

However, also remember this, that if you provide quality videos with top notch content you’ll never have to fear a lack of audience. If one thing is certain it’s that there is a demand for good entertainment, information and performance.

This guide isn’t about how to create a video. This is what to do with the video once you have it. For those of you wondering how to create videos let me put things in perspective.

The only reason you would want to learn how to make videos is if it’s up your alley (you enjoy presenting). Otherwise you’ll most likely find it a painfully daunting task. If this is the case remember that a good internet marketer always outsources work to save themselves

· Time

· Effort

· Money

When outsourcing your videos make sure you see some samples beforehand, voice is very important. Should be calm, relaxed and emotive.

So I’ve Got My Video!

Congratulations, the next step is picking some keywords to rank and optimize your video for. Aim for three or two word keyword.

When you’re picking your keywords look around on Google because you’ll eventually want to get a Google box (will pull in a lot more traffic). See if there are any videos all ready ranked, with enough backlinks and the right strategy (keep reading for more info on this you can take their spots.

Great, now that you’ve finished the keyword research you’re going to want to change the video file name (before you upload to youtube) to the keyword that you wanna rank for, you’ll find that this alone will help you with the ranking process.

Optimizing Your Video

Once you start uploading your video you’ll be given an optimization page. You’ll have to fill out a Title, Description and keywords. Let’s talk about the best way to optimize each of these areas.

Title: It’s important to put your main keyword at the front of your video, with a title (and secondary keyword if possible) following suite

Example: Video Marketing - What You NEED To Know

Formula: [Keyword] – [Catchy Title + Secondary Keyword (If Possible) ]

This will tell YouTube and Google that you’re content oriented towards those keywords. Also if possible, try to have the keywords spoken within the first bit of the video. Sources have reported that voice technology is all ready being used to identify video content.

Description: The first thing you’re going to want in your description is a link to your website, make sure that the link is short (http://YourSite.com) and that all words in your website are capitalized. Next write a short blurb about what they’ll find, make sure you incorporate your main keyword within the first few words.

Keep writing, think of this as content for your video, don’t hesitate to keep writing (paste an article, this seems to help) using your keywords and inserting link (where necessary).

Keywords: Finally you’ll have the keywords, for YouTube you’ll have to put quotations around the keyword phrases and spaces in between. When entering keywords make sure you try variations of the same keyword phrase but with characters in between,

Example: “video marketing” “video-marketing” “what is video marketing” “what is VM?” “VM”

You want to cover as many keywords as possible. A great way to find the top keywords in your niche is to view the top 5 videos and write down keywords that they feature. Then combine them all and you’ll have some killer keywords.

However research your own first to cross reference for best results.

Your Video Is Uploaded

Now that your video is uploaded hopefully filled with yummy keywords that you’ve picked out. The next step is not to just let it sit and mellow but to start a very subtly and powerful ranking process.

The key here is to keep repeating this until your video has taken over the #1 in YouTube and Google, make sure you don’t over do it, follow the time frames specified here (or mess around at your own risk, be an entrepreneur! But don’t get sandboxed ;).

1. Your video is uploaded – Bookmark it with proper keywords @ ping.fm

2. Write up three articles of three hundred words with different but similar keywords. Submit one copy of each to EzineArticles.com, GoArticles.com, ArticlesBase.com, Squidoo, Blogger every 2-3 days. Then use Ping.fm to social bookmark the properties.

3. Get a free (and completely awesome drip feeder) account at IMAutoMator.com, use it on all of the properties that you make (you receive 10 free daily submissions so use them up every day!).

Alternate between 30 days for some and 90 days for others. I would suggest longer for your main link as it will appear more natural because all of the surrounding links will steadily be gaining power for 30 days, then the main link will still have juice trickling in long after they are done.

4. Set up Facebook and Twitter fan pages, hook up your video with these so you’ll get automatic linkbacks every time you post a video. If you keep posting quality content you can grow in authority on both these websites and hopefully have people spread your content, very powerful if done correctly.

5. This is an optional step but one that I always take. One of the ranking factors in videos is their views and whether they’re being found or not. To just generate tons of views is difficult which is why I actually use a service on all my videos to send an initial burst of traffic.

This helps tremendously with the ranking process.

That’s it for the ranking process. Keep this up and treat every article, lens and property that you make with dignity and respect, you only have to make ONE per day and then social bookmark it (and ping it aswell), so don’t forget to add pictures (with proper keywords), videos (also with keywords) and to link to a major website apart from yours.

How To Naturally Pull In Views

While you’re waiting for the SEO process you might get bored and start wishing you had some activity. The great thing is that the YouTube community is pretty responsive.

My suggestion is to start commenting on niche related videos. But before you start commenting on everything you see do one thing first. In your channel set it up so that the video you want promoted is set to auto play everytime somebody loads up your channel.

We will be directing people to your channel with the desired video being featured because that will entice them to subscribe, comment and befriend your profile more.

When you’re looking for niche related videos just comment on the related videos that pop up with yours. A small note of warning;

make sure that you leave the video on until it’s over otherwise YouTube will sense you are posting too many comments too fast and your comment abilities will be temporarily suspended.

So when it comes to comments remember as with many other hobbies: use but don’t abuse.

Also make sure your comments are relevant to the video, be honest, truthful and informative when possible. Don’t push people to check out your videos but it’s all right to mention it every once in a while.

You can comment on more then just videos though, the most effective method I’ve found is to go directly to users profiles and to subscribe, friend request them and then leave a comment there complimenting their content and page.

If you leave a nice enough comment (add more details but base it around a compliment, because people love being complimented!) you can promote your page on their site, an example of a post would be;

Hey Jim,

I checked out some of your videos and I’m impressed by the level of professionalism you bring to the table.

I just subscribed, looking forward to more great content!

You should come check out some of my videos by the way, I also do a lot of stuff in the ‘your market keyword’ area.

-Sam.

A simple example of all it takes to generate some clicks towards your profile and another subscriber + friend (added naturally), believeme, social intereaction plays a HUGE part in the authority indexing at YouTube.

The more videos you add and the more you interact with the community the more you will start coming up in the searches. You will rarely see an account with just one video which is super popular, most often they will have multiple.

So don’t get discouraged if your videos don’t instantly pop up. Keeping following the ranking plan provided and interacting with the community. Try to upload a new video with original, fresh and quality content at least every two to three days, or if possible daily.

When you reach twenty videos you can slow this down but the ideal is to break 50 and eventually 100, by that time you will have videos which are ranked and practically all the videos you put up will gain both natural and organic views.

YouTube Marketing Monetization

There are a number of ways to monetize with YouTube. To list just some of them;

1. CPA

2. EMAIL SUBMITS

3. YouTube Partner Program

4. Affiliate Marketing

5. Generating Leads/Building A List

And I won’t explain each one but to be successful in any of them what you require is good content. Good doesn’t mean expensive, it means that it delivers on the title and whoever is watching will be satisfied.

All though these steps aren’t the easiest to take they are the ones that work. Remember to mellow out and relax, this is a gradual process, don’t rush it. Just let it happen and it will happen.

Don’t go around counting your backlinks, checking your SERPs, just keep building your backlinks until you see that spike in traffic. Use that money to re-invest into new videos and expand your networks.

Always re-invest and keep working, never stop and you will see increase in money. Don’t get comfortable, your account could be banned so always play by the rules and keep your content user friendly, helpful and non spammy.

With that being said, go ahead and implement what’s been said in the guide. It can all be summarized within 5 main points of action;

1. Get an original video

2. Optimize for chosen keywords

3. Follow ranking process

4. Send views

5. Interact with community

Follow these 5 points of action, repeating the top 3-5 until results are obtained. No more then 1 property + 1 social bookmark directly to video per day.

Video Marketing - Full Guide On Video Marketing

Last article we spoke about procrastination the silent killer, silently but consistently killing your time. So today I wanna talk about how you can fight back in the fight against procrastination.

Now I’ll start off by saying this, before you can beat your procrastination into a pulp it’s important to understand what you’re going up against. So if you haven’t read the article before this one make sure you do!

Now presuming you’ve followed this simple advice let’s move on and talk a bit about the roots of procrastination, I mean how does it come about?

Well ladies and gentlemen, procrastination grows from deep inside of people. Procrastination isn’t an action but rather a name given to the act of rationalizing an emotional decision.

So what do I mean by that? Well think about this …

When we start a new project, article or website we’ve got high hopes right from the beginning. But it’s when the road gets tough that we start to wonder whether we can make it, will it be worth it and shouldwe go on.

Keep in mind that these are 3 of the major factors in procrastination but they are not the root of the problem itself, in fact I would say that these are nothing more than aggravators of procrastination.

And I’d say that 90% of people are stuck with at least one of these problems plaguing and clouding their heads daily. But if nobody wants the problems or procrastination then how does it form?

Well, I think the best way to start thinking about how procrastination forms is to see how it doesn’t.

You ever think about this? People who are motivated do NOT procrastinate.

But why is that? The answer? It’s because they are excited to be creating, working and productive.

And it’s not hard to get enthusiastic about work when you have an interesting job, project or assignment but what about for all of those who don’t?

Well for those of us who don’t let’s take a quick trip down memory lane. Remember when you went and applied at that burger joint? It doesn’t matter whether it was McDonalds, Burger King or just a ma’ and pa’ operation. Once you got hired and came in to work correct me if I’m wrong but it was RIVETING to be there right?

You we’re part of something new, something you’d never tried and it was almost (dare I say it) … FUN!

You we’re eager to do things right and time FLEW by. However it wasn’t for long that this new found love of working stuck with you, in fact after the first time it started to dwindle and dwindle until finally you couldn’t stand work anymore.

So what leads to procrastination? Well here are our top 5 reasons why people procrastinate.

1. Poor work habits, this one is self explanatory.

Some people never established proper work habits, these are the people who are always putting things off to the last possible minute. The reason for this is because once they are close to the deadline the task seems more important (because it’s due sooner) to them.

2. Overwhelmed. Often the sheer thought of having to do an unknown task is enough to make us anxious and uncomfortable.

However it’s important to realize that there are no defeats in life (and especially not in internet marketing) but only challenges which must be overcome.

Don’t allow yourself to be overwhelmed by the sheer thought of your tasks, instead write them all down and check them off as you finish. Try working in 10-20 minute chunks until the task is done with 5-10 minute breaks. You’d be surprised at how much you can accomplish within such a seemingly short amount of time.

3. Perfection. For some people it truly is ‘Go Gold or Go Home’.

And there’s not much I can say in regards to this because I am NOT one of these people. Not even close, in fact I’m quite the opposite, I’d rather get in some sort of work then none at all (even if the work isn’t my best).

So that’s my only advice – get something done. If you’re trying to set up a blog but you can’t find the perfect header that doesn’t matter, get your blog up and start working on getting it perfect (even if it takes forever).

We should always aim for perfection simply because we always want to progressing, aim for anything else and you’re seriously hurting your own chances at success but don’t let perfection blind you!

4. Not interested in the task. Ever had to do something you just DID not wanna do?

This is a HUGE one all across the board. And probably the simplest to solve.

The thing to keep in mind here is that you HAVE to do the task. So whether it’s now or later it has to get done, so it really makes no sense to put off a task when you will have to complete it eventually anyways (right?).

If only it were that easy though. Remember that no matter what the task at hand if you’ve got to do it, do it as SOON as possible. I can’t count the amount of times I procrastinated my own work and it ended up biting me in the ass.

You never know what’s coming up in the future so get your work done ASAP and you will never have to worry about what’s coming in the future cause you’ll all ready be set J!

5. Lack of learning.

A lot of people don’t realize this but learning is essential to keeping yourself motivated and interested. Even if you’re not going to be using what you learned directly it’s still vital that you expand on what you do know to keep it interesting.

So to explain a little more concisely what I mean. Article writing is but a small part of article marketing and article marketing a small part of internet marketing.

It’s important to challenge yourself and learn something new (even if the task doesn’t interest you) because doing the same task over and over becomes boring, and boredom as we all ready established is a HUGE cause of procrastination, so make the task interesting through learning and you’ll find yourself on the flip side.

Hopefully having these 5 causes of procrastination listed helps some of you figure out whether you’re being affected by them and help you fight them off.

In the fight against procrastination however there is one quote which simply trumps any logical advice I can provide. “Take Action, See Results” and with that I wish you all a good day!

Procrastination – Killing A Bad Habit

Hey Gang,

Today I wanted to tackle an issue that all people (not just internet marketers) face. There are multiple faces to this problem and you can callit what you will (and it will vary depending on the angle you look from).

But the fact of that matter is this that until you can overcome this problem you will NOT be successful in internet marketing (or anything) for that matter.

Now as I said, practically everyone is affected by this problem in one way or another. So what’s this mysterious problem that I’m talking about? None other than procrastination. Hah, like you didn’t see that coming right?

Well it doesn’t matter if you did or didn’t what does matter is that you realize what procrastination is keeping you from doing, achieving and conquering.

The answer? What you truly desire, keep reading and I’ll explain exactly what I mean.

Think about it like this procrastination, is a fairly new invention. People didn’t always have time to procrastinate, there was a time when all your ‘free’ time went not to thinking, watching TV, hobbies or sports but it all went to something much more straight forward – survival.

But it was once agriculture kicked in that all of a sudden survival WASN’T always at the forefront.

And at that point the first procrastinator came to be and all the ones after them. Now as the ages went on an alarming trend started to form.

The people who took action and took the time to study, learn and progress quickly ended up on top of the social pyramid while those who lazed around, procrastinated and did squat quickly sank to the bottom.

But how does that explain what procrastination is keeping you from?

Well let me ask you something, when have you felt good about procrastinating? Never right?

And it makes sense, because the act of procrastination I would say has a fairly negative connontation of not doing your work and pushing it back until later.

There are no qualms in my mind that we’ve all done this at one point or another and that’s fine, but what isn’t is continuing to do it after today.

Why today? Because today is the day that you either get on the bandwagon or stay off, because there is no place for procrastinators at the top of the pyramid.

Procrastination and internet marketing – a deadly mix

Now I’d like to relate procrastination and internet marketing, something that I think most of the readers of this blog (if our analytics are correct) are interested in.

Now internet marketing is without a doubt the EASIEST way to make money. I mean you won’t find another business opportunity where your set up costs will be so low while the profit margin stays up so high (costs nothing to make PDFs, screencasts etc).

And there’s no shortage of information online to get started, sure some of it is filler but there’s TONS of great information out there just waiting to be used and implemented.

Yet even with such a promising medium 95% of internet marketers WILL NOT succeed in making money online, and why is that?

Well a large chunk of those marketers are simply readers. This means they are essentially no different from the spiders which crawl your pages, they come to your site, read your information but never take the time to implement it.

Then there’s those who will read it and TRY to implement it, however this group of marketers are solely interested in seeing the money first and results second. Which is why if they don’t instantly see some sort of cashflow being generated they quickly drop the method and move on to the next.

Most internet marketers who don’t succed will fall into the first category of ‘information overload’, they keep reading and reading telling themselves that they will stop once they ‘know enough’ but the truth is that it’s not about how much you know, it’s about how you use what you do know.

For instance, just because I read about baking a cake doesn’t mean I can actually bake a delicious cake, it simply means I have an understanding of what is required to bake a cake.

Likewise with internet marketing, just because you read some ebook on generating traffic doesn’t mean you know how to generate traffic. Until you actually send some traffic to a page you really know absolutely nothing. Zilch.

Personally the only things I know to be true are the ones I’ve done myself. Because you never know if you can recreate results and more importantly you never know how something will work for you until you have tried it out, and even then it usually takes some more time, thinking and tweaking to get it working perfectly (there really is no easy fix when it comes to internet marketing).

At the end of the day here’s what it really comes down to.

You can spend your entire life going to school, getting a job, working for a company, retiring and then FINALLY after 65 years you get to sit back and relax (if you’re lucky enough to have a pension).

Or you can create an entire fortune using the internet, and all that is required is time, effort and patience (because results are NOT instant).

We both know which lifestyle you’d rather have so the question is why don’t you? It’s because you’re not putting in the work you should be. Internet marketing IS a full time job, it’s the easiest full time job I’ve ever had and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

But does it take a special kind of person to do this job? Yes, absolutely.

It takes someone who’s on task, motivated and DOESN’T push their work off to the last minute but instead dives straight into it until it’s done (which when it comes to internet marketing is never).

I’m not really sure if this will help anyone battle their procrastination but look forward to some more posts dealing with methods and ways of controlling and beating your procrastination.

The first step to overcoming your laziness though is accepting the fact that it is there. IT’s also there to say and it’s not leaving without a fight, so prepare yourself mentally because until you overcome your procrastination you will NOT be successful in internet marketing (or pretty much anything else for that matter.)

Top 30 Internet Marketing Articles of April 2010

Article Marketing – The Lurking Giant

Article marketing is considered to be pretty out dated now to be honest. However there’s still a fair bit of traffic and money within it, which makes it a viable source of income - regardless of how out dated it is.

The problem is that there still (even after all these years) seem to be marketers out there who don’t know how to properly submit articles.

And if you’re not properly submitting your articles it’s the equivalent of shooting yourself in the foot. Doing it right could be the difference between grabbing a keyword or not showing up at all.

With that being said, know this, I’m not trying to scare you - far from it. I’m demonstrating the power of doing it right as opposed to doing it wrong. To prevent you from making article submissions mistakes again, keep reading and I’ll explain exactly how to properly submit articles.

How To Properly Submit Articles – Full Guide Starts Here

To start things off you’ll need an account, through this guide I’ll be using ezinearticles.com.

The first thing to do is to pick an author (your pen name), which will appear as the publisher of the article. Next you’ll find the most appropriate category and specify a sub category, make sure you check all of the choices, all though this typically doesn’t do much for SEO, certain categories will get your more free ‘ezine’ traffic then others.

Article Summary/Description: Here you’re going to need to write a short blurb detailing your article, people WILL see this. Make sure it’s short n’ sweet and also incorporate your keyword within the first sentence.

Article Body: Take the time to customize your article, add in some headings/subheadings, underline and bold certain parts (to show the reader what’s important), add a list and split it up so it looks pretty. Don’t get lazy, presentation is IMPORTANT!

Keywords: This is where you enter in your keywords. I suggest entering 3 closely related keywords (i.e puppy dog training, how to train a puppy dog, dog training) which will SEO cross reference together the best.

The Resource Box – Make It Count!

What are resource boxes? Basically the resource box is your shot to glory, it’s where you’ve got a small bit of text to make a pitch to the prospective reader.

You get to put in 1-3 links (depending on site) into the resource box which will allow the reader to click through to your main site.

Anchor Text: The highlighted text within a resource box (the link) is known as the anchor text. Typically people will use their keywords in the anchor text for further SEO purposes. However it’s good to mix up the anchor texts that you use as too much of the same anchor text could be viewed as spamming.

For these reasons, it’s important that the resource box is done correctly to ensure a high CTR (click through ratio) which can be viewed by going into ‘Author Tools’ > ‘View My Ezine Reports’.

Resource Boxes Are Important!

Because of this, I want to take a little extra time explaining resource boxes and a few strategies you can employ when writing them. Remember that a good resource box is short n’ sweet – TO THE POINT. 50 words give or take 15.

What makes a resource box strong is the call to action. Which directs the prospect where to go, it tells them what they need to know and it focuses their desires to get them to take action.

Potential Techniques To Implement;

#1 Spark Their Curiosity

When writing a resource box it’s always good to create a sense of curiosity about the information that you’ve got to share. So for a weight loss product something like this could do the trick;

Discover how I lost 83 lbs over 9 weeks using this top secret <a href=”http://yourdomain.com”>weight loss method.</a>

That would be a good hook for a resource box, resource boxes like this typically spark the most interest and highest CTR.

#2 Provide A Personal Opinion

If the article you wrote is informative it’s best to just nudge them in the right direction and not over sell. Sometimes it’s best to simply suggest another place for them to search.

If you’re still not sure which car is right for you then why not head on over to <a href=”http://yoursitehere.com”>used cars sales</a> to find the perfect car for you.

A little more laid back, but still very effective.

#3 The Double Call To Action

This is a must in all resource boxes, considering most sites will allow you two links you have to know this. Only the first anchor text is counted towards SEO points, the second one isn’t counted because it’s a link off the same page (doesn’t matter how many times you link from one page, it’s still only one page).

With this knowledge you can make your first anchor text with the keyword, but the second with the purpose to get the prospect through (2 call to actions always better than one). Using two in succession is a GREAT way to increase the power of your resource boxes.

If you’re tired of waking up tired every morning why not get <a href=”http://yourdomainhere.com”>sleep disorder solvers</a>, getting a solid nights sleep has never been easier <a href=”http://yourdomainhere.com”>CLICK HERE</a> to find out how.

So in this resource box the main focus is the ‘CLICK HERE’ and the first link is used solely as an anchor text. Keep in mind that the page source code is crawled from top to bottom, so the top link should generally be directed towards the money site with the main keyword.

The bottom one can be more of a catcher to increase the resource boxes reach.

So Remember

To Properly Submit An Article You Need

· A good description incorporating the keyword within the first sentence.

· A well formatted article body which is presentable to the reader.

· Properly selected, mutually beneficial keywords.

· A short n’ sweet resource box with a strong call to action, employing curiosity, subtly pushing the prospect or a double call to action (or all 3) to increase the effectiveness that it provides.

So keep all these points in mind when submitting an article and remember that doing it right will yield much higher results then doing it wrong.

It’s worth the extra effort, and if you don’t feel like doing it yourself you can always outsource the task, just make sure that whoever you outsource to follows the right procedures on how to submit an article.

As someone who owns a content creation service you can bet that I see TONS of different writing styles. All though I say ‘different’ the truth is that 95% of article writers are the SAME, this statement stands true even for people (not just article writers).

So as a recruiter what I look for is the other 5%, the ones who are unique, creative and fresh. As you can imagine of course, over the months and months that I’ve been interviewing writers I’ve gotten a pretty good sense of what makes an enjoyable article to read.

And if you’re one of those people who thinks that ‘content is content’ you’re wrong. Content is the life line of any blog, website or page. It’s what will retain your visitors and in most cases what brings them there in the first place.

A lot of people think they can get away with half assing the content they put up on their site, and the truth? Yeah they absolutely can, but no matter how you look at it having good content on your site WILL increase your conversions.

Which should be pretty self explanatory.

Why Provide Quality Content?

When you provide people with quality content two things in particular happen, the first is that the reader should be satisfied (because you’ve quenched their thirst for information). Secondly, they’ll trust you, because you are after all, the authority on the subject.

So without a doubt writing quality content is ALWAYS going to be better than some badly written jibber jabber, but the question still stands – what makes good content?

To keep things simple I’ll just briefly outline some of the factors which go into a good article and explain how you can achieve them. You can expect full article on each one of these aspects because they all play an integral part in making your article push, pull and sell.

What You Must Have.

1. Your article MUST have a good title – this means keyword rich and appealing to your prospects because don’t forget that you ARE trying to get people to click.

2. Formatting! Don’t just make one big block of text, add headings, subheadings, lists, bullet points to help get your point across. Think of it like this, formatting is making your article look as good as it is.

3. Know what you’re writing about. Provide quality content, do the research beforehand if you have absolutely no clue. Also don’t hesitate to provide your BEST content, this will only strengthen the relationship between you and prospect and push them to buy even more.

4. Stay on track and to the point, don’t dwell too far from the topic. Keep your articles real – that means NO filler. People don’t like to waste their time and you shouldn’t waste yours either!

5. White space. This is a big one, it’s part of formatting but deserves mention all on it’s own. DON’T have long paragraphs, 2-3 sentences per point MAX. The more white space people see, the more calming and relaxing it is to read (proven).

There are a TON of other points to consider but science has proven that the most people can ingest at once is 3 points, I’ve given you 5, hopefully you’re not making all these mistakes but pick at least 3 and write an article right now implementing them.

Keep On Writing!

Remember that it takes practice to write a good article. It will take some time before you find your ‘voice’ but once you do you’ll start writing faster, better and more naturally. So keep writing (at least once a day) and use these techniques (where applicable).

Hopefully this helps you guys grasp the general idea of how to write an article, make sure you check out our other posts which dive further down into article writing, marketing and syndication. Take care!

If your looking to grow your online business then you should definitely consider using email marketing. You may have seen the buzz around email marketing before, on forums, blogs and so on everyone talking about email marketing and how effective it is. Well it is true, this is no hyped up bs, email marketing can be effective and can increase your income ten fold.

The money is in the list - very true.

Email marketing can be a very effective way of developing a relationship with your customers and an excellent way of getting repeat custom. But why isn’t everyone using email marketing? Well many people believe that email marketing is very time consuming therefore they are put of by this marketing technique before they even start.

I use email marketing myself and I would say I am a pretty busy person, however I still find time to focus on my email marketing campaigns. How? Because I use an excellent email marketing auto responder called Aweber. Probably the most popular email marketing software available and the best selling. Below is a list of excellent features that Aweber integrates in to its system.

1. You are able to choose from a variety of different opt in templates like those you find on my website (right sidebar, below my article).

14 advantages of using Email marketing software

Seriously, the amount of people that buy in to these products believing that they can automatically change their lives forever. These products don’t work, there has not been one make money online product that has actually been successfull in making someone a successfull Internet marketer.

If you really want to find the quality information on Internet marketing, the strategies, guides and techniques used by the professionals then why not join an Internet marketing forum. Think about it for a second these people who write these eBooks are obviously not going to give there best kept techniques away if these techniques earn them $10,000 a day, a week a month which ever. However on these popular Internet marketing forums you will find some hidden gems amongst the large amount of basic beginner information which continously makes its way to the top of every catergory on Digital Point (Yes, I don’t like Digital Point much).

If your looking at purchasing something worth while then stop dribbling over the hyped up sales pages for make money online products and instead sign up to an Internet marketing forum. If your a beginner then I recommend Digital Point because it is great for beginners, vast amounts of information and mainly all focused for beginers. If your looking for a more mature Internet marketing forum then Warrior forums is the best choice for that however if your looking for a close knitted family of Internet marketers who constantly help each other out and share quality techniques and strategies for Internet marketing and affiliate marketing then Niche Chopper forum is definitely the choice to make.

If your a subscriber of my blog then you will have heard me talk about Niche chopper forums before and you may of also seen the banner advertisement on the left handside of the blog well I am not just advertising the forum to make commission from each sale but I am also advertising it because its a forum I truely believe in.

If your really looking for quality information on making money online then stick to this blog and register to the forums above you don’t need to pay $47, $67 $97 for an eBook guide which will tell you everything you already know and you especially DON’T need to pay for a membership to a course which promises you dreamy wealth by the end of the course. If it sounds to good to be true it probably is, FACT.

If someone really has quality content, secret techniques to sell then you will hear about it if your active in the forums. Other than this that’s all you need really to get your self going to making your own income and becoming independant, be your own boss. Good luck!

Why do you buy make money online products?

Email marketing is becoming very popular within the world of Internet marketing since it has been proven that conversions are generally higher after you establish a relationship with those potential customers. However it is critical that you optimise your email marketing campaign to take full advantage of this very effective marketing process. When developing your next email marketing campaign consider these guidelines below.

1. Your Email List

It is important that you create a list from scratch or at least to purchase an email list from a trusted source and one which has proven to have collected the email list using legitmate and ethical strategies which include a double opt in option for those subscribers. Are the subscribers recent subscribers and are they targeted to the market you are selling to.

2. Your Subject Line

A very tricky and skilled task is getting your subscribers to open your email message which depends entirely on a one line of text within their email inbox. You have one chance to catch the subscribers interest and entice them to click open the email. It is paramount that you get your subscribers to open your email messages. You can test which email subject line works best by split testing with your email lists by segregating your email lists in to two or three different sections. With each section you can send the same email message but with different subject lines and analyse the response rate and click rate with each group.

3.  Your Sender Information

When creating your email messages it is important that you add simple yet informative sender information so that your email subscribers know who the email is from. Try using an email address which includes the domain name to which they would have subscribed to your newsletter through, you can also add your name if they are familiar with this.

4. Track your Results

To ensure you can improve your conversion rates you need to track your results. This includes things like how many people have opened the email, how many people clicked the links within the email and so on. Depending on what autoresponder you are using this can be an easy or difficult task. Using software such as Aweber this can be done very easily, as they provide statistics on pretty much everything.

5. Give Subscribers a Choice to Unsubscribe

Whenever you are building an email list it is always important to make sure that you give subscribers a choice to unsubscribe each and every time that you email them. The Can-Spa m act of 2003 requires that each email gives clear directions to the subscriber of how to unsubscribe if they choose to.

6. Don’t get the dredded red X

It is very important when adding images to an email to make sure that these images have been correctly formatted. Not only this but that the images include alt tags and links if needed. The alt tags help email software to realise what the images are and helps to not block these images.

7. Test, Test and Test some more

Last but not least it is important to test each email before sending it out ot your list. This helps to make sure there are no problems especially those listed above.  Test and test some more, analyse the results you get from your email campaigns, tweak them and then send them again to another selection of people. Email marketing is not hard it just takes time to find the correct formula for your email list. Good luck.
