Quick Ways To Make Money - Forums

In this third of a four part series to give you an idea, making money quick on the Internet, were going to touch on a method that very few people are aware of. It has to do with forum participation and its something that I see is becoming very popular with many forums. Its called the special offer. In this article, well give you the basics on what a special offer is and how to come up with your own, as well as a couple of places where you can make these special offers.

Forums are places where people hang out to get information and help each other. They are actually small, and sometimes large communities where people get together. They become quite a close nit bunch, so when going to a forum for the first time, you need to make sure that you dont go busting in there like a bull in a China shop.

So just what are these special offers and how do you make one? Well, each forum is different, but for the most part, a special offer is one that is for forum members only. Usually it has to be a product or service that is yours exclusively. The special offer is selling that product or service at a reduced price for forum members. So lets say you have an ebook that normally sells to the public for $97. You can do a half off special offer for the forum members for $48.50, or something like that. Most forums will require that this offer not be available to anyone outside the forum.

Okay, I know what youre thinking. What if you dont have anything to offer? Not everybody has their own product. Not a problem. See, its really not hard to come up with something to sell, even if its not for a lot of money. With todays desktop publishing technology, it is easy to put together a short report of 10 pages or so and sell it for $5. If the information in the report is solid, youd be surprised at how many people will actually buy it. You can make $1000 easily off of a $5 report, depending on how large the forum is.

Now, before you go rushing into putting something together for these special offers, most forums have very strict guidelines for making them. For the most part, you have to be a member for a certain length of time and have a minimum amount of posts to your credit. This keeps the riff-raff from coming in just to take advantage of members. So you do have to build up a reputation first. Once youve done that, then anytime you need some quick cash, just put something of value together and post your offer. Some forums do charge a small fee for this but many are free.

The two best forums for special offers are at the Why Do Work forum and the Warrior forum. The Warrior forum does charge a $20 fee as of this writing but the Why Do Work forum is free and only requires you to have 50 posts.

If you need some quick cash, special offers at forums is an excellent solution.

Writing Effective Email Ad Copy

Email advertising, in spite of what many people think, is not dead. However, the art of writing effective email ad copy seems to be dying a slow death.

Seems that most of the email ads I get in my in box are nothing but junk and very poorly written. Hopefully, this article will alert you to some of the dos and donts of writing email ad copy so that you actually have a snowballs prayer of making a few sales. If I have accomplished that much, then I have done my job.

The first thing that people do wrong with their ad copy is write subjects that are full of hype. People are sick and tired of the Make $30,000 in 30 Days subjects. They know theyre nothing but hype and simply chuck them in the trash. Also, the subjects like Youve Been Paid are really ticking people off because when they open them and realize that they havent been paid, they just chuck them in the trash in anger.

You want your subjects to be original, not full of hype, but interesting. Dont be afraid to use subjects like Theres Something About Your Site That You MUST Know People are going to wonder. What is it about my site? Is there a problem with it? Did I do something wrong? Is it even still on the Internet? These kind of subjects are going to invoke curiosity without resorting to hype or outright deceptive headlines. Be original but be honest.

In the body of your email you dont want to hit people with a sales pitch right away. You want to take some time for them to get to know you. Tell them your story. Heck, start them off with a joke. Dont be so darn serious all the time. You know what they say, you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Keep it light, but get the point across.

One very big problem that people have when writing email ad copy is that they dont pay attention to spam trigger words. You cant load up your emails with words and phrases like make money or guaranteed income. These phrases and words will trigger off the spam filters on many email accounts and your ad will ultimately not even get delivered. So run your ad through a spam checker. There are plenty of free ones online. Theyre all basically the same. Just pick one and use it.

Finally, you dont want your email ad copy to come off as an infomercial. You want to write like you speak. People are so tired of the sales pitch. If you communicate with them in a way that makes you sound sincere, you have a much better shot at converting them to paying customers than if you spout out garbage like You too can live the life of a millionaire with our easy 3 step system guaranteed to

Got the picture?

Honesty goes a long way in business as in life. Write an email ad that is honest and not full of hype and there is no reason why you cant have a successful email ad campaign.

Getting Started With Video Blogging

Video blogging is the next generation of posting ideas and products over the internet. Everybody knows about text blogging. Now they use videos for a better way of expression. This form of communication may entail a lot of resources, but it is all worth it. If pictures say a thousand words, video blogging exceeds that by far.

People like to see what they are going to buy. Some would like to see proof and be sure that they are getting their money’s worth before shelving their dimes on it. All of us know the influence of a thirty second commercial. The effect of video blogging is similar to that. You show your product, people watch it. If they like it, they buy it.

Lights are important in a production. Make sure you illuminate entirely the area you are going to use to create video blog. The brighter the area, the crispier the images will be. You can also use lighting effects for added appeal to the presentation.

Should you require sounds for your video blog, you need a microphone. Record you voice as a voice over for promoting the product and its benefit to consumers. Sounds are as important as videos on a video blog. It is advisable to make your sound effects as enticing as the video.

The light affects the presentation so make sure that the background and the light complements each other.

Video blogging is a great tool but it also has it downside. It may slow down the computer so other may steer clear of it. Download time may also be time consuming especially if customer is still on a dial- up connection.

But don’t let those stop you. Let video blogging be an alternative for you, though it is best to still keep the text and pictures present in your presentation to accommodate all possible viewers of your site.

Nowadays, the more creative you are in presenting your product to the market, they more you are likely to succeed. Video blogging offers an interactive way of selling. You involve the customers. You instill in them the advantage of your goods. And at times, those are enough to make a sale.

Some SEO Basic Tips - Inbound Links

A course on SEO, or search engine optimization, could fill up a book. Actually, several books.

So obviously, it is beyond the scope of this article to teach you everything there is to know about SEO. Instead, were going to focus on one part of SEO and hopefully give you some tips that will be of use to you and improve your SEO strategy over the long haul.

One of the things that people seem to forget is that SEO is not just what you do on your web page. Yes, you have to make sure your meta tags are optimized and that you use header tags and format your links properly, making sure you have links from each page of your site going to other pages, but SEO is more than just what you do to the pages of your site. SEO is also about what we call off page SEO. These are things that you do that have nothing to do with making changes to your web pages themselves. Were going to point out what some of these things are.

One of these things is getting inbound links. These are links that are on other peoples pages that point to your page. The more inbound links you have, the higher up the search engines you go, especially if these inbound links are on pages with high PR numbers. Okay, we should probably go over what a PR number is, at least briefly, so you understand why this is important.

A PR number is a number that Google assigns to a web page. This number is a relative indication of how important that page is to the keywords it is targeting. A page with no relevance will have a PR of 0. A page with the highest relevance will have a PR of 10. So ideally, you want as many links as you can on these higher PR pages. Now, getting them is not so easy.

The more relevant pages are going to want something in return for putting your link on their page. Theyre either going to want you to link to their site and be an equally ranked page, or if youre not, theyre going to want you to pay through the nose for the privilege of linking to your site. So, like I said, it isnt easy.

The best way to go about getting inbound links is to write articles. Some of the top article directories on the Internet have pretty high PR numbers. E-zine Articles is one site that comes to mind. Their PR number is somewhere around 7. So, if you submit your articles to their site and get links pointing back to yours, you should start to see a gradual rise in your rankings. Of course, you are going to need more inbound links than just E-zine Articles to really move your site up.

Getting inbound links is a very time consuming but important practice. If you take the time to do it properly, you will definitely see your site climbing up the search engine rankings.

How To Write Ads

No matter what business youre in, you need to know how to write effective ads or youre not going to get people to your site.

The mystery of effective ad writing has eluded many people since the beginning of the printed word. The truth is, there is really no big secret to it. This article will unravel the mystery for you and give you the basic things you need so that you will be able to write effective ad copy with a little practice.

Probably the most important part of the ad is the subject. Without a compelling subject, people are not going to read your ads, especially if they are email ads. You need to be outrageous. You need to be different. Dont be afraid to use subjects like Martians Have Landed And Theyve Captured YOUR Business or something crazy like that. Also, if you are using autoresponders, use the persons name in the subject. People like to be referred to personally. This is a big thing with getting people to read your ads.

In the body of your ad you want to start out by introducing yourself. Make it personal. People want to get to know you so that they can trust you. If you start off with a sales pitch, theyre just going to tune you out. You have to get their trust first. Then you can give them your pitch down the road.

The next thing you want to do is tell them how you can help them. Tell them YOUR story. Stories sell. Explain to them how you were going through the same thing that they are going through now until you came up with a solution to the problem. Then, tell them what this solution is. Explain how it will help them by pointing out the benefits.

Next thing you want to do is assure them that they have nothing to worry about. Point out the guarantee. Its a lot easier to promote a product that has a guarantee with it. Explain to them that if they are not completely satisfied with their purchase within however many days or months, that they can get a full refund on their purchase.

The next thing you want to do is tell them about all the bonuses that they will get if they order now. Explain to them that these bonuses are only going to be available for a limited time and if they dont act fast they may lose out on them. Fear is a great motivator. If people think they will lose out on something they are more likely to act.

The next thing you want to do is offer testimonial proof if you have it. If people see that others have been satisfied with whatever it is that youre selling, they will be more inclined to make a purchase. This is just one more thing to reinforce a feeling of trust.

Finally, tell them that if they have any questions at all they can contact you and youll be happy to help them. This further gains their trust.

Writing ad copy is not rocket science. If you follow the basic steps that I have outlined, you should have no trouble writing ad copy that converts.
