Factors to Consider when Choosing Any Affiliate Marketing Program.::. http://cyber-anywhere.blogspot.com/

The internet has enabled affiliate marketing to jump to unprecedented
levels of popularity and profit. It has made it possible for quite a
few people to quit their day jobs and concentrate on nothing but
affiliate programs. The key to success in this area is picking the
right program to market.



There are many factors to consider like number of referrals, what kind
of tier system is in place, the type of support you and the buyer will
receive from the customer service help desk but what’s the most
important factor affiliates look at? The rated commission structure is
the number one consideration they use in searching for the program to
promote.



Specifically, we want to know a) how much do we get paid? and b)
when do we get paid? This seems only natural as this is the main reason
why we are affiliate marketing in the first place. If you are going to
invest the time, money and effort then you should be well compensated.
Unfortunately, however, this is the beginning and end in their decision
to sell a product or service.



Above the compensation plan, the very first consideration you
should have when choosing a program to market is the value of the
product that you will be selling. The best way to determine this is to
decide that if you, as a consumer, would actually purchase the product
for you own personal use for the price that is being asked. If you
wouldn't purchase the product you're selling as a consumer, then as an
affiliate marketer, it's going to be hard to convince someone else to
buy it.



That being the main consideration, it is not meant to minimize other
factors when picking an affiliate marketing program. A big part of
choosing the right merchant is still how and when you get paid.



This is not meant to minimize the other factors when picking an
affiliate marketing program. A big part of choosing the right merchant
is how and when you get paid. On average most merchants will pay you
once a month either by direct deposit (becoming more popular) or
mailing you a check. You usually have to accrue a certain amount before
affiliate commissions are paid out. There are other merchants that
offer different payment plans, so it all depends on your lifestyle and
how you structure your affiliate campaign.



If it costs you money to join an affiliate program than you should find
out: What you are paying for?, Why are you paying for it?, Are there
future expenses?, What's my return on investment(ROI)?, and Is any of
it refundable?



If you decide that shelling out cash to join an affiliate program is
not worth it then the chances are you will find many free programs in
your particular niche that have a reputation for quality products and
paying on time.



Whichever way you decide to go, make certain that they have a way for
you to track your sales and the more detailed the better. You really
need to know where your referrals are coming from and if your
advertising is working. Something else to find out is how long your
referrals will stay in the merchant database because people do not
always buy the first time around. If they decide to purchase the
product a couple months after visiting your affiliate site, will the
merchant give you any credit for the sale?



There are many other points to consider before joining an affiliate
program. Do some research on the blogs and forums. Check out what
people are saying good or bad about the affiliate program you are
interested in joining. Always round up as much information as possible,
make your decision, and them just do it.

Liquid Aqua Promotional Keyrings.::. http://cyber-anywhere.blogspot.com/

The only problem with creating promotional keyrings for your customers
is that even a very nice keyring is unlikely to spend a lot of time out
of your customer’s pockets or purses. The keyrings could be the
most stylish keyring in the world, but since it can perform its
function quietly and without fuss, it is not often thought of and
others are not exposed to your logo, slogan, or company name.



If you want to change that, then all you have to do is invest in Liquid
Aqua keyrings for your customers. These keyrings are printed on the
outside, and the clear plastic encases a blend of colored oil and gel
that do not mix. This means that the colors of the oils float around in
the gel in small beads or one large bead depending on whether you shake
it up. These keyrings are fun to look at, fun to own, and are great
entertainment for kids and adults alike.



Liquid Aqua keyrings look classy and fascinating and can provide almost
anyone with simple fun just by shaking or moving the keyring about.
Customers with children can pass off their keyring to the little ones
and enjoy a few quiet moments as the kids entertain themselves with the
oil and gel suspension. Even better, these keyrings are solidly welded
to ensure that the Liquid Aqua does not leak and ruin clothing or bags,
making them durable as well as fun.



Liquid Aqua keyrings are great for enticing your customers to take
their keys out and show off the fun item in their pockets, and others
will be frequently exposed to your logo and company information as they
keyring is passed to them for a turn at playing with the suspended
liquids inside.



This means that the main problem of handing out keyrings is overridden
as your customers will be more than happy to take out their new
promotional keyrings and show them off to their friends. Be prepared
for a rush on your booth at trade shows or conferences, and hand them
out along with your company information for a quick sales boost that
will have you thanking your lucky stars that you found out about Liquid
Aqua.



These keyrings are interesting enough that people will gladly replace
their old keyrings with a Liquid Aqua promotional keyring with your
company information on the front, and the range of color choices
available means that you can customize your Liquid Aqua keyrings to
match your company colors and entertain your customers at the same
time.



These keyrings are priced right, and will pay for themselves in
customer appreciation and new business, too, as people play with your
keyrings and see your logo and information. You will be glad that you
found out about Liquid Aqua promotional keyrings as soon as the
business starts rolling in.

Understanding Market Risk.::. http://cyber-anywhere.blogspot.com/

Market risks have little to do with a company’s overall strength,
and more to do with the affect the world’s economy can have on
the market.




***************************



The stock market is always volatile. There are risks involved in
investing your money in a company’s stock. Savvy investors take
the time to research the company thoroughly before investing in its
stock. But one risk investors often overlook is market risk, or the
volatility of one market and how it might affect another. This was seen
in February 2007, in a dramatic turn when the Chinese stock market
dropped a whopping 9% in a single day, causing a tidal wave effect
throughout the world. The United States Dow Jones Industrial Average
fell by 4.3% in the Chinese aftermath, its worst decline since the
terrorist attacks of 2001.



The International Organization of Securities Commissions urges
investors to take the time to learn what market risks are and how they
may affect investments worldwide.



Market risks have little to do with a company’s overall
strength, and more to do with the affect the world’s economy can
have on the market.



Interest Rate Risks




Changes in interest rates directly affect the value of bonds. As
interest rates rise, the price of previously purchased bonds falls;
while dropping interest rates will increase the bond’s value.




Inflation Risks




Inflation reduces a consumer’s purchasing power, which also reduces the value of investments.




Currency Risks



When purchasing stocks or bonds issued by companies outside of the
United States,any fluctuation in currency exchange rates can directly
affect how much a stock or bond really costs, and how much you’ll
make when selling it.




Liquidity Risks



The ability to sell off your investments at the moment you choose
can greatly affect your profit margins. Being unable to make trades due
to foreign regulations, not being able to find a buyer, selling at a
discount, among other reasons may cost you valuable assets.




Sociopolitical Risks



Worldwide events such as a terrorist attack, war, and even an
election can all affect investor attitude toward the market and cause
serious up or downturns. Worse yet, some catastrophic events can lead
to wide-spread disruptions in financial markets all over the world,
which can be risky for individual investors.




ICountry Risks



Country risks are similar to sociopolitical risks, with one
important exception: they are tied to a specific country and the
economic and political climate within it.




Legal Remedies Risk



When dabbling in the oversees market, keep in mind that problems
which may arise with your investment must be handled by that
governments market overseers, which may work very differently than
those your used to in the United States. This in itself can be very
risky for foreign investors.



While no one can completely avoid all market risks - that’s
what makes the financial market so profitable - there are a few things
every investor can do to minimize the risk.




Do Your Homework



Take the time to research all of the things that can affect your
oversees investments. Stay tuned to global economic trends and changes,
and be certain that you completely understand all of the trading
practices, regulatory practices and restrictions in investing
internationally.




Diversify




Vary your holdings by region, country, length of holdings (long term vs. short term), product, and sector.



Investing is always risky. But don’t let that scare you.
Oversees markets can be very profitable, as long as the investor
understands the ever-changing market risks associated with specific
investments and takes the necessary precautions.

“Tips for an Amazon.com Bestseller Campaign”.::. http://cyber-anywhere.blogspot.com/

Selling your book through Amazon.com is a great way to not only earn
money, but to increase your visibility and credibility in the business
world. For example, if your book achieves Amazon.com bestseller status
then your sales could increase exponentially. Otherwise, your book
listing may fall into the deep sea of books on Amazon. Therefore,
earning best seller status is the top goal of many Internet businesses.




Following is a list of common questions regarding an Amazon.com bestseller campaign:



Question #1: Here’s my situation. I am working on an
Amazon.com bestseller campaign. I have sent press releases. So far I
have a list of 100,000 people that are being sent emails regarding the
book and its release. I’ve heard that you are supposed to have
500,000 people on your email list in order to crack the top ten in
Amazon. Is this true?



Answer: Not necessarily. The list of 500,000 names makes it more
likely for you to hit the bestseller list, but if you have a quality
list than you can still crack the top ten on Amazon. You may have a
smaller list, but if you have a high percentage of buyers than your
list could be more powerful than a larger list with a lower percentage
of buyers.



Question #2: I’ve heard about using joint ventures to spread
the word about my book’s release on Amazon.com. However,
I’m having trouble creating joint ventures because it is
difficult to get people to commit to a venture with me since they
don’t know me personally. Are there other options besides joint
ventures?



Answer #2: Let’s first check out how you are going about
obtaining joint ventures. The biggest problem with finding joint
ventures for an Amazon.com bestseller campaign is that you don’t
offer a value per value exchange. You can’t just ask people to
promote you and your book to their list in exchange for nothing that
benefits them.



You have to think how you can make the exchange valuable for the
other person. Give them incentives that will make them more likely to
send an email about your book to their list. Make sure to put a dollar
amount value on the items that you offer the joint venture partner for
free. Offer them bonuses that they can also offer in the email they
send out to their list.



Also make sure to figure out how your vision helps push them
towards their own vision. For example, some people want leads. Some
people just want help. Find out what they want and need and offer it to
them so they view promoting your book as a valuable exchange.



Tip: Find a book similar to yours on Amazon that has accomplished a
best seller campaign. Find out what they did in their campaign. Find
out what bonuses they offered. Find out who helped them and contact
these people.

Web 2.0: Are Second Life and You Tube in your Marketing Plan?.::. http://cyber-anywhere.blogspot.com/

I’ve been reading the PR and Marketing media with interest of
late, so many companies, large and small, are taking their next steps
online; evolving beyond the barriers of their websites into new
frontiers; embracing the new world of Web 2.0.



Limiting online marketing to the traditional website is fast
becoming a turn of the century phenomenon. More and more organisations
seeking marketing success online are turning to Second Life, You Tube
and other forms of social media.



The approach to marketing on the web has become divided into two
groups; those that have a website and banner ads, and those that
understand and use the web to its full potential.



As a freelance copywriter and marketing consultant, I want my
clients to be maximising their potential online and using Web 2.0 to
its full potential. I want to be involved and I think everyone in the
communication business should be thinking the same.



Big Brand’s in Second Life




There’s a plethora of excellent examples of big brands using
these new media to maximum effect. In Second Life, Cisco are holding
international meetings where no one has to leave their desk, indeed the
list of big brands involved is extensive and includes the BBC, Mercedes
Benz, Calvin Klein, Starwood hotels and IBM. What they’re seeking
is a 5 senses brand experience for their visitors, essentially
it’s three dimensional web browsing, where you walk around the
web page, engaging with it, rather than simply read it.



But of course, like with any new media phenomenon, the rules of
engagement have changed, many brands entering Second Life find their
‘sims’ remain mostly empty. The ones that succeed will be
the ones that actually learn a little about Second Life as residents
first. They’ll be the ones that don’t simply build a
presence in Second Life, but also give visitors a reason to visit. And
the reality is, you have to tell them about it in the real world.




Big Brand Success on You Tube



On You Tube, Diet Coke and Mentos are blowing fountains to the
benefit of both brands (check out ‘Experiment 214’ on You
Tube) and Sony Bravia has used blogging to substantially increase brand
recognition across the globe.



Most You Tube based brand successes have started by accident.
Someone posts something that is fun to watch, that accidentally
includes a big brand, the video spreads, the brand gets publicity.



It’s successful because the audience believes it’s been
made for their amusement, not for your publicity. And they believe this
because it’s true.



This is the challenge for those of us in the communications
industry, be they freelance copywriters and marketing consultants like
me, to admen, media sales executives or pr consultants. It’s to
get brands posted on You Tube using genuinely entertaining, engaging
and sincere approaches.



You Tube offers amazing potential for brand development amongst key
audiences. The catch is, that in a world growing in cynicism, if the
audience finds out you intended to get your message on there, the
message will fall flat: Bang. You’ve been found out.




Engaging Future



No one knows whether Second Life or You Tube will continue to break
new grounds attracting big brands; whether they will become the
marketing platforms of the future is still in doubt. But there is no
doubt that the future of marketing is engagement and this is the true
benefit of Web 2.0. Organisations with millions of stakeholders can
communicate and engage with each on an individual basis, getting
involved early; testing which new platform works for you and sticking
to a cohesive strategy is essential organisations of all sizes.



Are you using the Web 2.0? This article explores the possibilities and
pitfalls on new online media such as You Tube and Second Life, which
are currently seen as the forerunners of Web 2.0’s opportunities
to engage with customers.

Custom Gift Wrap – Promoting Your Brand.::. http://cyber-anywhere.blogspot.com/

With retail chain stores on every high street, there's never been a
more important time for independent retailers to find ways to promote
their own brand. However, whether you have one store or five hundred
stores your brand is central to everything you do to promote your
business.



A growing trend among retailers is to offer a gift wrapping
service. This is true both in the physical world and also with
retailing on the internet. It is possible to buy a huge range of stock
gift wrap papers. But, this has its disadvantages. Not only is it
almost impossible to match your company's corporate colours, but with
changing trends, a paper chosen today could be out of stock tomorrow.



A better solution for gift wrapping is to have your own gift wrap
paper custom printed. A simple idea would be to have your logo repeated
to make an overall pattern using your corporate colours. This will work
well with a particularly good design. A much better idea would be to
commission some bespoke illustrations that either reflect your store's
product range or possibly a seasonal theme. The company logo can be
included, but with more subtlety. This way you can maintain your
corporate brand whilst offering the recipient of the gift something
much more appealing.



Remember to give some thought to whether you are going to include
ribbons and bows when choosing your design theme and colours. Gift wrap
ribbons and bows will add the finishing touch to any gift. Do think
about how the fully gift wrapped present is to be packaged for posting
if you are planning to gift wrap mail order items. You would most
likely include the gift wrap materials along with the product for
wrapping by the gift giver, unless you are sending the gift directly to
the recipient.




Custom Gift Wrap Design and Print



There are printers who specialise in wrapping paper printing. The
same is true of designers. Initially you will need to talk to someone
who understands the different processes involved and being armed with
sufficient information at the beginning will help.




1. Do you require rolls or sheets?


2. What is your preferred paper weight? eg. 60g., 70g., 80g., 90g.


3. Paper quality? Kraft, Varnished, Metallic.


4. Paper size? Length and width of rolls or sheets.


5. Paper finish? Matt or Varnished.


6. Quantity of sheets or rolls?


7. Colours in design? Standard 1-4 colours, Pantones.


8. Type of printing? Flexo, Gravure, Litho.


9. Any special effects? Metal foil, spot varnish.



The quantity and paper finish required will very quickly dictate
what is possible and what is not for your budget. The budget will be
dependent on the value of the gift, assuming you won't be charging for
a branded gift wrap service. There are three types of printing used to
print wrapping paper. These are Flexography, Gravure and Litho
printing.



Printing wrapping paper rolls using Flexography. For simple designs
in 1 or 2 colours the minimum quantity is approximately 6 to 12 rolls
per design. Roll widths are typically from 30cm to 100cm and have a
roll length of 250m. Rolls can be cut and supplied as gift wrap sheets.



Printing wrapping paper rolls using Gravure printing. Minimum
quantities are often referred to by weights from 100kg for a single
colour and up to 1000kg minimum for 4 colour printing per design. Roll
widths are from 30cm to 100cm and in roll lengths of 250m.



A weight of 100Kg is equivalent to approximately 15 to 25 rolls,
depending on the paper weight and roll width. These 250m counter rolls
can also be cut and supplied as gift wrap sheets or converted into
consumer rolls. Consumer roll lengths are specified by the customer and
typically vary from 1m to 5m in length.



Printing wrapping paper using Litho printing. Gift wrapping paper
is relatively thin, 60-90g, and not many printers like to put such thin
paper through their litho printing presses. Some will print on thicker
paper. This isn't normally recommended as it makes wrapping gifts more
difficult. A 90g matt white paper provides an ideal base for printing
gift wrap designs and is thick enough for litho printing if you can
find a supplier that will do it. The most popular sheet size is 500m x
700mm or very close, depending on the printing press and country of
supply. Typical minimum quantity is 1000 sheets per design.



There are definite advantages to printing litho. With low print
runs possible and high quality multi-colour printing, the starting
price for being able to print multiple designs is kept low. With some
creativity a wonderful selection of designs is possible while including
a central branded look.

Points To Consider.::. http://cyber-anywhere.blogspot.com/

Internet Marketing




When you think about Marketing, what do you think of first? Which
aspects of Marketing are important, which are essential, and which ones
can you take or leave? You be the judge.



Millions of individuals are taking full advantage of the Internet these
days. And they should considering how many great ways there are to earn
extra cash. Some even make the decision to earn a living completely
from home. Far too many folks are sick and tired of dealing with major
companies and random lay-offs. You simply never know when it might be
your turn to go. Therefore they begin making money online. Now, there
are several ways one can go about this. Some people choose to start
their very own Internet business, which can likely be ran from their
home. While others dabble in adsense and make cash off of daily web
traffic. Believe it or not, there is a great deal of money to be made
this way.



It's crucial to consider what you need to avoid if your goal is making
money online. Along with all the wonderful options at your fingertips,
there are scams galore. I can't tell you how many scammers I've spotted
online selling their hoopla. They pitch a great game about making money
online. Virtually all of them will tell you how much can be made on the
web if you do this and this, and then they proceed to pitch a product
they're selling. Most likely it's a DVD or some sort of bogus software.
This is where you have to stop and think for a moment. If they can
really make so much cash doing what they're encouraging you to do, then
why are they spending their time and effort pitching something to you?
Wouldn't they be off making money online themselves? Instead they've
chosen to sell a gimmicky product, which basically just amounts to some
information. Obviously they weren't doing to well.



Once you begin to move beyond basic background information, you begin
to realize that there's more to Marketing than you may have first
thought.



When striving to earn cash via the web, avoid product pitches that
guarantee riches. You can attain the crucial information you need for
starting an online business, building websites and earning adsense
revenue, or selling products via auctions, just by scouring the web.
It's all free. Begin by contemplating how you want to start making
money online and what aspect of web-business you'd excel at. The more
time and effort you put into your online money-making, the more
turn-over you'll surely see.



As your knowledge about Marketing continues to grow, you will begin to
see how Marketing fits into the overall scheme of things. Knowing how
something relates to the rest of the world is important too.

Lately I've been thinking a lot about client results.




My conclusion is that producing consistent results for our clients is
really the only way we can justify our existence as Independent
Professionals. Everything else is missing the point.




Results are our biggest point of leverage.



When we produce results for clients, we automatically have tools
that will make our marketing more effective -- Word-of-mouth, case
studies, testimonials, articles about client projects, etc.




The best marketing in the world cannot overcome the handicap of producing inconsistent, ineffective results.



A question I ask my clients is: "If budget were not an issue, what
service or program would you offer to your clients so that you could
consistently produce the best possible results?"



What they invariably say is, "I would provide a more comprehensive,
more expensive program than I'm offering now." Then I ask, "What are
you selling now?" Their answer is that they are offering what they
think the client can afford, not what they really need.




And why is this the case?



One, is that we are unwilling to take responsibility for producing
results for a client. And two, we're afraid the client will say no to
the larger and riskier (to our mind) proposal.



We're giving clients what they want, not what they need. And this
is tantamount to giving a patient a bandage instead of an operation
(when an operation is clearly what is called for.)



So we continue to offer one or two day training that does little
more than get people excited for a few days. We offer coaching programs
that are three months, or even less, when we know long-term sustainable
change takes six months or more. We provide consulting advice but don't
hold our clients accountable for implementing it.



If you want to stop struggling with marketing, one thing to change
immediately is to take a firm stand for producing consistent results
for your clients.




But how do you do that? Here are a few things I've discovered:



1. Ask what your clients really need. They don't need a process.
They need a result. Ask yourself, "What is the Ultimate Outcome that my
clients will be happy with?" And then find a way to package your
services to deliver that Ultimate Outcome.



Example: "We will sell your business for you and get a better price
than if you went through a traditional broker." Phil Hamilton went from
offering business valuations at $10,000 to providing a complete package
including selling the business, and now makes $150,000 per deal.



2. Have a big concept. We tend to think too small. We're focused on
getting the next project, working with our clients and doing the best
we can. What's the Big Concept that you offer? What will stimulate the
imagination of your clients?



I went from offering marketing coaching sessions to the Marketing
Action Groups and promised to "Hold Your Feet to the Fire." I now have
a waiting list and doubled my business in 18 months.



3. Coach, don't just consult or train. Breakthroughs come from
helping clients reach their goals. Doing it for them or telling them
how to do it is insufficient. Your projects or programs need to hold
your clients accountable for getting the job done while you empower
them to find the answers for themselves.



Example: John Callos and Kevin Kelsey went from selling consulting
services to delivering comprehensive, results-oriented programs for
bank executives that include consulting, coaching and training. In the
process they doubled their business.



4. Do joint ventures. You can only do so much by yourself. Who can
you bring in to do a piece of the work? Could you gain access to
companies through an associate who has the client relationships you
need but not the expertise you possess?



Example: This was the key for Phil Hamilton. He had the contacts
but needed more resources. By bringing together a group of top
professionals they could offer more, get better results and increase
their income dramatically.



5. Think long-term. Short programs are merely bandages. Your
clients will ultimately lose their investment if they, in the name of
cost savings, only commit to short programs. Develop long-term programs
and guarantee results (if the client does their fair share of the
work).



Example: In the six-month Marketing Action Groups we guarantee
participants will be happy with the results they produce or they may
ask for a full refund. But they need to attend all the sessions and do
their homework.




Time to focus on results above all else.



Make the foundation of your marketing the results you produce for
your clients. Create services and programs designed to deliver those
results and don't compromise. Give clients what they need, not what
they want.

Press Releases: Misconceptions to Avoid and Guidelines to Follow!.::. http://cyber-anywhere.blogspot.com/

Writing a press release use to scare the willies out of me but not any
more. Once I finally learned exactly what a press release was and who I
should aim my correspondence to, things got a whole lot easier very
quickly, and they will for you too.



Let's examine what a Press Release really is and some of the
misconceptions that I had before being educated the right way. Press
Release, as defined by wikipedia.com is: "A news release or press
statement written or recorded communication directed at members of the
news media for the purpose of announcing something claimed as having
news value". This definition is extremely accurate and tells you what a
Press Release is.



The critical component in writing an effective Press Release is to
understand that you are not writing an advertisement for a general
audience or a word story to a publication. And this is where one of the
misconceptions comes into play. Many professionals and small business
owners get this part wrong and it obviously causes major frustration
when they their Press Release does not render the interests they were
counting on.



Writing a Press Release requires that you gear your written text to
the news media; after all, they are the specific group that you are
trying to reach so they are who you must write your Press Release to.
The objective of writing your Press Release should be to WOW a
reporter. Write intriguing and captivating text about your news of
value. If a reporter is wowed, surprised or captivated by your press
release, then you are much more apt to get the attention you are
expecting.




I am including a general guideline below that will help you create and disperse a successful press release to the media.



1. It is imperative that you draft a well written and formatted
press release. Format can be the first hint to a reporter that the
information you are sending is not relative to their audience. You can
overcome this possibility if you take the time to properly format your
press release according to acceptable standards. So, what should you
include in your press release?



- Include your Time Line - The first thing you want to be seen on your
press release should be the time you wish it released. Let the media
know if you want the news to be released immediately if that's the
case. (For Immediate Release!) Tell the media that you want your news
released at a predetermined time. (Release the first week of January!)
If you want your news released with a seasonal deadline, state so>
(Release before Christmas!)



- Don't forget your Contact Information - Next, you need to include
your complete contact so as not to make it difficult for the media to
follow-up with you. Often times, with a well written press release,
reporters may wish to interview you for a story they are going to
release about your business. That's when taking the time to write a
proper and well written press release really pays off in dividends.



- Headlines, Headlines Headlines - Then consider the significant
importance of your headline! As in all types of advertising
copywriting, the headline is the most important component of the entire
press release. If you don't grab the attention of the reader in the
first few seconds (yes, that's all the time you have), then the primary
purpose and objective of writing your press release will be lost. Take
the time to write out 6-10 headlines: I subconsciously think about this
element while I am doing my research as it makes it easier for me to
come up with viable possibilities. Write them down as they come to you,
then once you have completed the writing of the press release, come
back to them and see which one knocks your socks off. Show your list to
family and friends and determine which ones they think say the most.
These few extra steps could make the difference between a great press
release and a totally ineffective press release.



-Include a dateline when you are beginning the body of your text.
Tell the reader the date you are sending your release to them and the
city and state of origin. (June 27, 2007 - City Here, Montana - start
the text of the first paragraph here.)



-Always double space the body of the press release. It's much
neater in a appearance and is not so congested that the reporter cannot
even read it.



-Use Quotes and Give Credit - It perfectly satisfactory to use
quotes from learned experts in the field you are writing the press
release about. It will help you establish credibility for your news
release.



- Include a Call To Action - I recommend that you always include a
Call To Action. What do you want the end result of your press release
to accomplish? Do you want someone to call a phone number for more
information; do you want someone to visit your retail location for a
new sale or is it that you want everyone to visit your new website and
find out just how great the information you have to share really is.
So, Include a Call To Action.



-The Closing comes last - In North America, traditionally the
symbol "-30-" is inserted after the body and before the media contact
information to indicate that the release is ending. A more modern
substitute is to use the pound sign (###).



-Include the Media Contact Information - include name, phone
number, land address, email address and any other pertinent information
for each PR person you send your press release to.



2. Target Your Market - It will do you no good to send your news
release to a reporter specializing in Sports when your news release
deals with Internet Marketing. Always target the reporters you want to
receive your press release. I also recommend that you actually do some
research and find out the names of the reporters most focused on your
business area. Always address your press release to the reporters you
have located from your research. Always target the recipients of your
press release to best suit your business needs. You may even want to
write dedicated releases to each reporter so as to better explain
yourself since each reporter will have different values which they use
to determine whether or not your press release warrants their
attention. Remember, anything you write to anyone that is personalized
will stand a better chance of success.



3. Relationship building will pay you hugh benefits in the long
run. Now that you have gone to all the trouble to locate the reporters
that specialize in your niche, then work on establishing a solid
working relationship with them. You may be surprised at just how much
good this will do you in time. Reporters are constantly looking for new
story lines: it you have a good consistent relationship with your niche
reporters they will look upon you as an expert in that niche. And who
better then an expert ,YOU, to do niche specific interviews with. So,
build a solid relationship with the reporters you locate. It will also
give you a heads up any time in the future you want to send out a new
press release.



4. Do not send releases to reporters that sound like a blatant
advertisement. Press releases are used to release something that is
truly newsworthy. You will not get to first base if you send out an
advertisement. Keep the context of your release factual and deliver
your message without flair and fanfare. Eliminate heavy descriptive
terminology such as describing your product or service as amazing, or
stupendous or the like. Keep you text down to basic factual
terminology. But do tell a good story too. Reporters like to read a
good story and good stories are written with interesting language will
sell the reporter on publishing your press release.



In summary, wikipedia.com says this very well: News releases have
been a large source of criticism against various types of journalists,
who sometimes rely on them heavily. Many articles in the business
press, particularly, are little more than recycled press releases. Some
people criticize writers for creating articles in this way, contending
that it constitutes free advertising for the company on whose behalf
the news release was issued, especially if it is not contrasted with
criticism of that company or product in the same article. On the other
hand, few dispute that news releases remain a valuable way for media to
be made aware of new products and services, and recent and upcoming
events of interest.

Internet Marketing In Asia .::. http://cyber-anywhere.blogspot.com/

For most people, internet marketing is a money making industry. In
reality, internet marketing is about developing oneself on a regular
basis. If you are involved in internet marketing, you will have to pay
attention to some of the intermediate strategies that are being used -
especially if you are a beginner.



I'd like to just share a few intermediate to advanced strategies
you can use in order to enhance your internet marketing efforts,
whether you are selling internet marketing itself or not. Hopefully,
you can leverage internet marketing to enhance your income in the
shortest span of time.




Strategy #1 - Maximizing Your Productivity



Many internet marketers go solo on this. I would say that in order
for you to create the most amount of leverage, you will have to master
your productivity. It's important for you to find outsourced talent.
Places such as elance.com may prove to become too expensive, so it's
more viable to look to two particular sources that I find much cheaper
and just as reliable. First, you should seek out specific talent
forums. If you need a programmer, go to programmer forums. If you need
an affiliate manager, go to affiliate forums. If you need a designer,
then design forums are probably a better bet. The second is to look for
a local university and seek out those within the talent space you need
to hire. Bright, young individuals might actually have something to
prove and do a really good job!



Don't just outsource! Manage your talent, help them to grow and
train them up to become better. Point them to the right resources and
you'll realize that they will be more willing to assist you in doing
even bigger projects online.




Strategy #2 - Automated traffic mechanisms



If you have not got a series of automated traffic, you will
probably find that it is difficult to generate traffic. Each of my
sites is typically optimized on the search engines. If you want to
learn more about Search Engine Optimization, there are plenty of
courses that are available online, not to mention some really good SEO
forums.



On the forums at InternetMarketingSingapore.com/101traffic.html,
there are some 103 ideas on generating traffic. You just need to go in
there and identify the 5 best ways for you to do this, then keep at it
for a while.




Strategy #3 - Focus on a the 4-hour Work Week!



If you haven't already, you should pick up a copy of Timothy
Ferriss' "4-Hour work week". He mentions two things that struck me
right from the start. For instance, what are the 20% of the things that
create for you 80% of the results? And what are 20% of the things that
you do that create 80% of your problems? If you focus on answering
these, you should be more effective in understanding your productivity
cycle and move closer toward overall business improvement!

Getting Started in Ebay Marketing:: cyber-anywhere.blogspot.com

If you have ever read an article on eBay, you'll have discovered the
type of income people earn - it isn't strange to find out about people
earning thousands of dollars per month on eBay.




Next time you are surfing the eBay site, check out how many
PowerSellers there are: you'll find quite a few. Now think about the
fact every single one of one of them must be making at least $1,000 per
month, as that's eBay's requirement for becoming a PowerSeller. Silver
PowerSellers make at least $3,000 monthly, while Gold PowerSellers make
more than $10,000, and the Platinum level is $25,000. The top level is
Titanium PowerSeller, and to measure up you must make at least $150,000
in sales each month!



It's hard to believe that Ebay has been around for ten years. eBay
started in September 1995, by a man named Pierre Omidyar, who was
residing in San Jose, California. He envisioned his site - formerly
known as 'AuctionWeb' - to be an internet mart, and composed the first
code for it in one weekend. It was one of the first sites of its type
on the planet. The name 'eBay' follows from the domain Omidyar applied
to his internet site His company's name was Echo Bay, and the 'eBay
AuctionWeb' was formerly just one part of Echo Bay's website at
ebay.com. The first product ever traded on the site was Omidyar's
defective laser pointer, which sold for $14 .



The web site rapidly became hugely popular, as vendors arrived to
auction off all sorts of strange things and buyers actually purchased
them. Relying on faith appeared to work out outstandingly well, and
implied that the web site could just about be left alone to run itself.
The internet site had been configured from the beginning to take in a
small fee on every sale, and it was this revenue that Omidyar applied
to finance AuctionWeb's expansion. The fees speedily totaled up to more
than his salary at the time, so he resolved to quit his job and devote
attention to the site full-time. It was at this point in time, in 1996,
that he added the feedback capability, to let buyers and sellers rate
one another and make purchasing and trading safer.



In 1997, Omidyar modified AuctionWeb's - and his company's - name
to 'eBay', which is what people had been using to refer to the site for
awhile. He started to spend a great deal of money on promotion, and had
the eBay logo created. A milestone was reached in this year - the
one-millionth item was sold (it was a miniature version of Big Bird
from Sesame Street).



Then, in 1998 - the peak of the dot com company boom - eBay became
big business, and the investment in Internet businesses at the time
allowed it to bring in senior managers and business strategists, who
took in public on the stock market.




It began to encourage people to trade more than only collectibles,
and rapidly morphed into a huge site on which you could trade anything,
big or little. Different from the other websites, though, eBay endured
the final stage of the bonanza, and is still going strong nowadays.



1999 saw eBay go worldwide, unveiling sites in the UK, Australia
and Germany. eBay purchased half.com, an Amazon-like internet retailer,
in the year 2000 - the same year it inaugurated Buy it Now - and bought
PayPal, an internet payment service, in 2002.



Pierre Omidyar has now cleared an estimated $3 billion from eBay,
and still serves as Chairman of the Board.There are now literally
millions of items bought and sold every day on eBay, all over the
world. For every $100 spent online worldwide, it is estimated that $14
is spent on eBay - that's a lot of laser pointers.



The fact that these PowerSellers are around gives you some idea of
the money possibilities on Ebay. Most of the power sellers never
intended to even launch a commercial enterprise on eBay - they merely
began trading a couple of items, and then continued. There are quite a
lot of people whose full-time job is merchandising items on eBay, and
some of them have been working at it for years now. Can you believe
that? Once they've purchased the merchandise, everything else is
basically pure profit for these people - they don't need to spend money
on any business premises, employees, or anything else. There are
multi-million dollar commercial enterprises earning less in genuine net
income than eBay PowerSellers do.



Even if you do not want to resign from your line of work and really
try for it, you can use all the same eBay to make a substantial
supplemental income. You can package customer purchases during the week
and bring them to the local post office for shipping each Saturday.
There are few other things you could be doing with your free time that
have anywhere close to that kind of money-making potential.



What's more, eBay could care less about who you are, where you
reside, or if you are good-looking. Some PowerSellers are very old, or
very young. Some live out in very rural areas where selling on eBay is
one of the few options to agriculture or being very impoverished. eBay
levels the playing field and removes the roadblocks to earning that the
real world constantly erects. There's no job interview and no traveling
back and forth involved - if you can post items on the site, you can
make it happen!



Put it this way: if you know where to acquire something fairly
inexpensively that you could sell, then you can sell it on eBay - and
because you can always get discount rates for mass purchases at
wholesale, that's not hard. Purchase a job lot of something in-demand
inexpensively, sell it on eBay, and you are earning cash already, with
no set-up expenses.



If you wish to try it out before you commit to really purchasing
anything, then you can just sell unwanted objects that you've got
sitting around in the home. Explore that closet full of items that you
never use, and you'll in all likelihood find you've got a couple of
hundred bucks' worth of stuff lying around in there!



This is the beauty of eBay: there is always someone who wants what
you're selling, whatever it might be, and because they have come
searching you out, you don't even need to do anything to get them to
buy it.

reside, or if you are good-looking. Some PowerSellers are very old, or
very young. Some live out in very rural areas where selling on eBay is
one of the few options to agriculture or being very impoverished. eBay
levels the playing field and removes the roadblocks to earning that the
real world constantly erects. There's no job interview and no traveling
back and forth involved - if you can post items on the site, you can
make it happen!



Put it this way: if you know where to acquire something fairly
inexpensively that you could sell, then you can sell it on eBay - and
because you can always get discount rates for mass purchases at
wholesale, that's not hard. Purchase a job lot of something in-demand
inexpensively, sell it on eBay, and you are earning cash already, with
no set-up expenses.



If you wish to try it out before you commit to really purchasing
anything, then you can just sell unwanted objects that you've got
sitting around in the home. Explore that closet full of items that you
never use, and you'll in all likelihood find you've got a couple of
hundred bucks' worth of stuff lying around in there!



This is the beauty of eBay: there is always someone who wants what
you're selling, whatever it might be, and because they have come
searching you out, you don't even need to do anything to get them to
buy it.
