I just heard the story about Steve who tried numerous times to start an Internet business. It wasn’t until his eighth attempt at launching a product that he saw a decent response and a healthy number of sales.
He was over the moon as he had sold 11 of his products in the first 24 hours that his new website had been online. Finally, there were signs that he had at last got it right.

I have been spending more time on some internet marketing forums recently and couldn’t help but notice how many people have no idea about Forum Marketing Etiquette. If you are going to be successful at making money online by branding and promoting yourself in Forums there are a few BIG do’s and don’t associated with it. Here are my 5 Essential Forum Marketing Tips.
Tip # 1: Don’t jump In with both feet 
The basic rule of thumb when it comes to forum marketing is that you never jump right in and immediately start promoting yourself or your business. It’s amazing the number of people I’ve seen join and immediately tell everyone what a great service or product they have.
This is considered bad manners and will actually drive your potential customers in the opposite direction. Not to mention the fact that the other forum members are not shy in coming forward to tell you so! In fact, you can get banned from doing this.
Basically a forum is a bit like your neighbourhood where the other members are your neighbours. People often use online forums as a way of meeting up to discuss a particular topic or problem.
When you look at the mega successful people in internet marketing they seem to have one thing in common. They stand out in a crowded marketplace. In simple terms they used their personality to make money on the web. Some call it personality marketing or branding. Others call it buzz marketing.
The truth is people like to do business with people they like. You’ll stand out a lot more by being helpful, likable and unique.

I recently listened to a very interesting interview of Steve Shaw owner of SubmitYourArticle.com. At the end of the interview Steve offered a free 30 day trial of his unique article submission service so of course I grabbed it.
We all know that submitting your articles to a number of article directories is a great way to get valuable backlinks and traffic to your site but it can be a very tedious job unless it’s automated.

I am taking a step back and looking at what I have achieved or where I could have done better since I started Alex’s coaching course on making money on the internet.
I have just listened to his latest Webinar or perhaps I should say pep talk (to put it politely) because that’s what it really was.
Some of the students are racing ahead and have already created their own products. I haven’t done this yet because I had a couple of projects in the pipeline that I put aside when I started this course.

Getting enough free targeted website traffic has been the bain of my internet marketing life. When I first got online I dabbled a bit with Google Adwords and Yahoo search marketing but never really had any success with it. I got put off by the stories of people running up huge credit card bills with them. So all my attempts at traffic generation has been using free methods.
I have tried email blasters, traffic exchanges, list builders, free ads, articles, press releases, forum posting, blog commenting, social book marking, and more recently Twitter and videos. Maybe I am not doing enough of it consistently enough but I have never seen the boost in traffic that I was expecting.

Nick has set himself a challenge. He said people are always saying to him “Oh, it’s all right for you Nick, you’ve got the money and a huge mailing list. How can we do that when we are starting from scratch?”

Link juice is not the latest fad in health drinks but you need it for the health of your blog or website. Without link juice your site is not going to be ranked by the search engines. Without traffic your site is dead.
So what is link juice?
Link juice, or link love as it is sometimes called, is a term that you have probably seen and heard all over the internet but do you know exactly what it means? I had an idea but wanted to find out more. With a bit of research I discovered that the term was first used by SEO consultant Greg Boser.

Many people think that blogging is fun and very easy and that you can make money on the web without much effort.
You may have read some eBooks where they tell you that all you have to do to make money online is to start blogging, add some AdSense code and promote some affiliate products in your posts and you will make money.
While it may appear like that when you look at some successful bloggers, let me tell you it doesn’t work quite like that. Most successful bloggers have put in some serious work to get their blogs making money for them.
