Twitter App Review: TweetGlide… Another Must Have Download By Mike Filsaime
Posted on 02. Nov, 2009 by Cory.
I am glad you are interested in learning more about TweetGlide. Advertising can often cloud the real picture, so make sure you read this review before you download TweetGlide.
There are always new products introduced to the social media world and exploring them is important. Make sure you take the time to review the information out there about other Twitter Apps. We have all purchased items we were disappointed with in the past. That won’t be the case though when you download TweetGlide. I can’t say enough good things about TweetGlide and I am sure you will agree once you find out more about it too by visiting their main website.
First, I am pleased to tell you that the price is very affordable. I think it’s a very fair price for this kind of Twitter App, and you’d be hard pressed to find a better deal anywhere else because it‘s FREE. In addition to saving money, I like to have a good time with the products I buy. That is exactly the scenario when you download this new Twitter App. One of the reasons I decided to download TweetGlide is that they are very fair both to consumers and to the competition. You won’t find a better item in the field of Twitter Apps offered. You also will get straightforward information from them on how to use TweetGlide.
While many consumers worry that a product such as TweetGlide will be too hard to use, they don’t anticipate it being too simple to use. That is what happened though and you may find you enjoy that. In my opinion I could use a bit more of a challenge but not everyone feels that way.
The TweetGlide Twitter app is certainly one you can download with confidence. The ratings that this Twitter App has with consumers speaks a great deal about the value it comes with. With plenty of benefits as I have shared with you, what is holding you back? Both the price(FREE) and the benefits of it aren’t something you want to let go of.
Just click on this link and you will be taken to their main website. Once you’re their watch the short video presentation on how TweetGlide works.

How To Get More Twitter Followers Using FREE Giveaways
Posted on 01. Oct, 2009 by Cory.
Put the power of Twitter on VIRAL overdrive using FREE giveaways.
And what I mean by giveaways is give them something for free like an ebook, special report, software or something of value that they can use and benefit from.
Now in order for this to work you have to get your potential Twitter follower to make an action, and what I mean by make an action is to get them to retweet your tweet and follow you on Twitter.
When they do this(retweet your tweet and follow you) your tweet will then end up on their Twitter page for their Twitter followers to see and click through to to see what the retweet is all about. And if they have a large following this could end up giving you a large amount of new followers taking the same steps your first Twitter took in order to get the free giveaway.
The benefit to them after they retweet your tweet and follow you on Twitter is whatever your giveaway is, and this is all done automatically and then sent to there Direct Message inbox for them to download.
At this point your probably saying that sounds all fine and dandy but how is all this done?
I will reveal that in just a moment, and the cool part is it’s FREE!
First I want to put this into perspective for you. Lets say you get 10 Twitterers to retweet and follow you on Twitter and they each have over 2000 followers, that’s 20,000 targeted Twitter followers that can see your tweet. Just imagine a small percentage clicking through to your tweet and following the same process.
Are you starting to see how this works now? I hope so because this is what you’ll see a lot of the TOP marketers and company’s doing to build their Twitter following because the bigger your Twitter following is the more traffic you’ll be able to send to whatever tweet on your Twitter page.
Okay, so know for the how is this all done on Auto-Pilot?
It’s done by setting up a free account at TwiveAway - www.twiveaway.com
I’m not going to go into a lot of detail as to how the service works so what I recommend you do is go watch the demo video available at TwiveAway. They show you all you need to know about how to get started with your first giveaway campaign from start to finish.
That’s it for this series of How To Get More Twitter Followers. I hope you enjoyed it and use these tactics to build your Twitter following to the max.
There’s just one more thing I want to mention and that is watch out for my next post because I’m going to reveal to you where you can get FREE brandable ebooks and reports that you can brand with your own PayDotCom and ClickBank affiliate links that you can use in your giveaway campaigns.
All I can say is why not get paid for all your hard work in any way you can. You deserve it.
Take care and I’ll talk to you soon.

How To Get More Twitter Followers Using The Power Of Article Marketing
Posted on 28. Sep, 2009 by Cory.
Getting more Twitter followers to join your Twitter following is a trying task and it all starts around the same principals as someone trying to build an email list.
You see essentially that’s exactly what your trying to do with your Twitter, and that is build a following. But in order to do that you need this….
… TRAFFIC!
That’s what email list builders need in order to drive people to their opt-in pages and that is what you need as well in order for your followers to opt-in to your Twitter.
The more traffic coming into your Twitter page from various sources online the more chances you have of gaining more Twitter followers.
So how can you achieve this?
One method is through Article Marketing.
Here’s how it works.
All you have to do is write some articles related to your niche and submit them to the TOP article directories online. You could also use some article submission services to syndicate your articles giving them the maximum exposure they deserve and giving you the opportunity to gain more Twitter followers.
The only thing you have to do is once you’ve finished writing your articles and are getting them ready for submission is to create a resource box with your Twitter page URL asking them to follow you on Twitter.
And as you might know you can have up to three URLs in your article resource box so why not add your website and blog URL to the mix. This will only ad to you getting more Traffic, Sales and Twitter followers.
By writing articles you are branding yourself as an expert in that niche which will make people coming to your Twitter page more targeted and eager to opt-in to receive more information from you about whatever your niche is through Twitter. It also gives you the opportunity to promote your own products or affiliate products you are marketing which in the end is what you are trying to accomplish anyway.
So, my advice to you is get writing some articles and start syndicating them around the web with your Twitter page URL in the resource box. 10, 20 or 30 more Twitter followers a day adds up, and the best part is they are highly targeted Twitter followers.
It doesn’t get any better then that.

How To Get More Twitter Followers Using The TOP Twitter Directories
Posted on 25. Sep, 2009 by Cory.
If you want more Twitter followers your going to have to put a little work into it. This is a fact in anything you do online when it comes to building your business.
So what’s next with getting more Twitter followers?
The answer is submitting your Twitter to the TOP Twitter directories online.
There are only a handful out there at this time and I have taken the time to collect them for you so you don’t have to do it yourself.
So what I recommend you do is set aside some time this week and submit your Twitter page to them. It will only take less then a hour and your done.
Make sure you have your Twitter title, Twitter description and some keyword tags already ready to cut and paste into the fields provided. This will save you time doing it from scratch every time.
So with that said here are the TOP Twitter directories you should submit your Twitter page to.
TOP Twitter Directories:
WeFollow - wefollow.com/
Twellow - www.twellow.com/
TwitR - twitr.org/
TweetFind - www.tweetfind.com/
TweeplePages - tweeplepages.com/
MyTwitterDirectory - mytwitterdirectory.com/
As you can see there are only six Twitter directories to submit to so like I said it won’t take you long to submit your Twitter page to them.
This is just the next step in building your network reach with Twitter and as people search these directories to find related Twitters to follow your Twitter followers will start to grow if you have what they are looking for, which of course is great links and tweets to related content they are seeking.
That’s it for this post. I hope it help your once again and be on the look out for the next edition to How To Get More Twitter Followers series.

How To Get More Twitter Followers Using The POWER Of RSS
Posted on 23. Sep, 2009 by Cory.
The first How To Get More Twitter Followers strategy I’m going to discuss is through the use of RSS or Real Simple Syndication.
If you’ve been using Twitter for any length of time now then you know that it is a micro-blog.
Now for those of you who don’t know that a micro-blog is don’t worry, it’s nothing major. A micro-blog is simply a mini version of a standard blog where you only get 140 characters worth of space to blast out what your trying to get across to your Twitter audience.
That’s a micro-blog in a nutshell and is what Twitter is.
The reason I want you to understand this is both regular blogs and micro-blogs like Twitter use RSS to syndicate their content to their subscribers, RSS directories and to whomever decides to use your feed as content on their websites or in their RSS aggregators or readers.
So what I’m trying to get across here is for you to submit your Twitter RSS feed to as many RSS directories possible. By doing this your building your reach so when someone from those RSS directories or where ever your Twitter RSS feed was found, when they click on your tweet from your Twitter RSS feed it’ll bring them back to your Twitter profile page, which is exactly what you want. From there they can choose to browse your Twitter Tweets and if they like what your tweeting about they’ll have the option to follow you.
That’s it.
Remember, you can’t make other Twitters follow you. They have to make that decision themselves because it’s an opt-in process that they have full control over.
Twitter is a great platform to use and I know there are HUGE claims of people getting thousands of follows a month which is possible, it’s just the ‘How’ that most Twitters get stuck on which is why I’m writing this series, sharing with you my findings as I discover them.
So with that said I hope this post helped you and most importantly, that you put it into action because you don’t what the unknown will bring.

Your Twitter Account Is Useless Without These
Posted on 21. Sep, 2009 by Cory.
Twitter these days is growing by the masses. More and more people are using Twitter for staying in touch with friends and using it as a means of staying in touch with potential customers.
However which way you use Twitter it is useless without these.
When I refer to the word these I mean Twitter Followers.
There is absolutely no reason to set up a Twitter account unless you plan on obtaining Twitter followers who are either interested in you or your business.
The problem that happens to many starting out is how to get those Twitter followers to follow them.
It’s really not that difficult once you know how and where to find them. The problem that arises is it is very time consuming finding Twitters followers to follow who are interested in you or your business.
At this time Twitter allows you to follow up to 1000 followers a day until you reach 2000 followers. After you reach 2000 followers you are then allowed to follow a percentage daily.
So with that said, getting to those 2000 followers should be your goal and in the next few days time I’ll be releasing some ways you can achieve this one Twitter tactic at a time.
Now to make it clear to you Twitter allows you to follow up to 1000 followers a day but that doesn’t mean that you can’t have Twitterers follow you without you following them first.
I see lots of Twitters out there with thousands of followers and are only following less then one hundred, so it’s entirely possible.
Your first task should do before setting up a Twitter account is decide whether your Twitter account is for personal or business use.
That’s it for now. So stay tuned for my up coming Twitter posts about how to gain more Twitter followers for your Twitter.

Send Your Website An INSTANT Surge Of FREE Targeted Traffic Using T.O.D.
Posted on 24. Aug, 2009 by Cory.
Traffic… the life blood of every online business.
The problem is, are you getting enough of it to make your online business grow to your expectations within the time period you have set?
In my mind you can never have enough traffic But the fact remains, NO Traffic, NO Profits, NO Business.
Though there are many ways to generate traffic online, both FREE and Paid, the question remains, which method or methods are right for you and your business to get it moving and profitable in as little time as possible?
Now, with that being said, what I’m about to share with you IS a ‘Proven’ way to create an avalanche of FREE targeted traffic to your website, without having to pay a single penny.
This is ONE of many of the tactics the guru’s online use to get the word out ‘Quickly’ about there NEW product and/or service.
But, before I move on any further, let me first explain what “T.O.D.” stands for and what it is so there won’t be any confusion through the rest of this article.
“T.O.D.” stands for — “Traffic On Demand”.
What is “Traffic On Demand”?
It’s simply an website and/or list owner with a large ‘eMail List’ of subscribers to which he/she can Blast an email out to at any time absolutely FREE about whatever they want as long as it’s related to there target audience.
Now, your probably wondering, “Well, how’s T.O.D. going to benefit me?
Simple.
You proposition the website and/or list owner with a JV(Joint Venture) proposal they simply can’t refuse.
For those of you who don’t know what a ‘Joint Venture’ is it’s simply a business partnership between two or more parties that agree to share the $$Profits$$.
If you’ve been online for any length of time I’m sure you’ve heard of ‘Joint Ventures’ at least somewhere online and how people claim is how there Internet fortunes were made.
There’s good reason for there claims simply because they already knew where to find an ‘Hungry’ targeted audience waiting for what they had to offer known as “T.O.D.”.
All they had to do was take the time to contact and proposition the website and/or list owner with a JV proposition they counldn’t refuse.
And belief me when I say this, there are literally MILLIONS of websites out there just waiting for you to hit them up with your Product or Service so they can send it to there lists of subscribers and collect there share of the $$Profits$$.
And, if you already have an ‘Affiliate Program’ set-up for your product or service, your half way there. All you need to do is write a compelling JV proposal(not to long, these people are very busy and are hit up everyday with JV offers) and tell them… “What’s in it for them?”
And, here’s another quick tip… make sure you ‘Personalize’ the JV proposal you send, otherwise, they won’t give you the time of day and will discard your hard work as SPAM.
Now, how can you get started - Starting Today?
The ‘Search Engines’ are a great place to start under the keywords related to your product and/or service.
You can also go to ‘Ezine/Newsletter Directories’ and search through there database of list owners to find relevant JV partners.
Keep this in mind that not all the website and/or list owners you contact will jump on your JV offer.
Don’t get discouraged.
If you don’t here from them within a few days or a week, send out an follow-up email just in case your first JV proposal didn’t get through to there Inbox, otherwise, keep on searching and keep on contacting.
You just never know what might happen.

TOP 5 Reasons WHY You Should Consider Social Bookmarking As Another Means Of Generating FREE Targeted Traffic
Posted on 20. Aug, 2009 by Cory.
Social Bookmarking is FAST becoming the ‘New Way’ to generate even more FREE targeted traffic to your websites because of there raising popularity and their ability to deliver the information web users want or their community members query.
And that’s not all either, if you’ve been following the whole ‘Tag and Ping’ trend thats been going on then you’ll also see the added benefit to Social Bookmarking if you own your own Blog and/or Website and how people can spread the word for you ‘Effortlessly’ throughout the many Social Bookmarking services available online today giving your Blog and/or Website even more exposure without you even lifting a finger.
I’m serious, and I’ll reveal ‘How’ at end end of this article.
Now, with that said, for the rest of this article I want to stress to you the TOP 5 reasons why you should consider getting involved with Social Bookmarking.
So with that said, lets go to TOP Reason #1.
TOP Reason #1. Social Bookmarking services are FREE.
This is probably the single most beneficial reason for getting started with Social Bookmarking simply because these services are Absolutely FREE to the public to use at their convenience.
TOP Reason #2. Bookmark as many websites as you want.
Another great reason to use Social Bookmarking services is you can Bookmark as many websites or webpages as you want. Whether they’re Articles, Reviews, Sales Letters, VRE Content Sites, etc.
As far as what kind of websites you can Bookmark really depends on the bookmarking services ‘Terms of Service’, so if your unsure as to what you can bookmark, that is the first place I recommend you look.
TOP Reason #3. Tag your bookmarks with targeted keywords.
This is the single most important benefit you get with Social Bookmarking services and that is the ability to bookmark your websites and/or webpages with whatever ‘Keyword Tags’ you want that will help you locate that bookmark when it comes time for you to want to read that particular information.
In the next TOP Reason I’ll go into a little more detail as to why your ‘Tags’ are so important and why you need to choose your keyword tags carefully for maximum benefit.
TOP Reason #4. Make your account Private or Public.
This is where you have to make a choice. And this choice is whether or not you want to make your account with the particular social bookmarking service a Private account or a Public account.
Now, if you choose to have a Private account then those bookmarks you made will be available to you ONLY. But, if you choose to make your account Public then this is where ALL your FREE targeted traffic will come from because now web surfers and the social bookmarking community has access to your bookmarks under the ‘Keyword Tags’ you chose for the websites and/or webpages you tagged.
That’s why I said it’s VERY important you choose your ‘Keyword Tags’wisely because you want the web surfers or community users to be able to find your websites and /or webpages you bookmarked which in turn could lead to more sales for you.
Also, by making your account Public your profile and websites and/or webpages you bookmarked will be picked up by the search engines and indexed, so you will benefit from the search engines that way, plus… you’ll get some high PR(depending on the Social Bookmarking service) ‘One-Way’ backlinks pointing back to your websites and/or webpages Boosting your overall link popularity and search engine ranking for those websites and/or webpages.
TOP Reason #5. VIRALIZE your Blog or Website.
Remember I told you I would reveal ‘How’ you can VIRALIZE your Social Bookmarking efforts ‘Effortlessly’ without lifting a finger if you have your own Blog or Website to multiple Social Bookmarking services.
Well here’s HOW!
All you need to do is add a piece of code to your blog or website and let your visitors do the rest of the work for you. It only takes a few minutes to do depending on your experience with HTML.
If your visitors find the information you offer of quality interest then they will definitely spread the word for you to other social bookmarking networks and communities giving you even more exposure without you lifting a finger.
This to me is a definite PLUS!
If you want to find out more about this go to ==> www.addthis.com
Well there you have it, the TOP 5 Reasons you should at least consider Social Bookmarking before getting involved.
I’m sure these 5 reasons alone are enough but who am I to make that decision for you.
Go search out a few Social Bookmarking services for yourself so you can see how easy it is to get started and visit the link above and add that code to your Blogs or Websites so your visitors can spread the word for you.

Social Bookmarking And Why Its Fast Becoming The New Wave For Free Traffic Generation
Posted on 18. Aug, 2009 by Cory.
First, Blogs were the BIG new thing as a traffic source, and still are, but guess what… now it’s Social Bookmarking.
Social Bookmarking if you aren’t quit sure is simply a service where the web user can surf the web and bookmark there favorite websites, articles, pictures, etc., to their account through the Social Bookmarking service they signed up with.
The advantage to doing this from the web users point of view is they can locate all their favorites from one easy to navigate location.
How they locate their saved bookmarks is quite simple. All they do is ‘Tag’ them using keywords associated to whatever it is they are bookmarking. So when it comes time to wanting to access that information all they have to do is type in the ‘Tag’ associated to their query.
Okay, that’s the basic run down of what Social Bookmarking is and its primary use. Now lets move on to the juicy stuff… Traffic Generation.
What I didn’t tell you in the above explanation is that if the web user chooses they can make their bookmarks *public*.
Now, what do I mean by *public*? It means that the Social Bookmarking community and the web will have access to whomevers bookmarked information, whether its articles, pictures, websites, reviews , etc… etc.
Are you starting to see the connection?
Let me explain further from an marketers perspective.
Let’s say I opened up an account at an Social Bookmarking service and it is ready for me to start bookmarking whatever it is I want to bookmark.
Well, guess what I’m going to start bookmarking?
You guessed it, my websites and all their webpages. I’m also going to ‘Tag’ these webpages using keywords I think other web users within my Social Bookmarking community and the web would search for so they will find them. And since I’ve made my account a *public* account anybody will be able to find my bookmarks giving my websites webpages “FREE Targeted Traffic”.
Your pages as I mentioned earlier can be Product Reviews, Articles, Sales Letters, or VRE(Virtual Real Estate) with Adsense.
Your totally in control as to what you want to bookmark.
Just don’t ‘SPAM’ them with junk. People use these services to locate information, so simply give them what they want and in return you get “FREE Targeted Traffic” which in turn could make you some sales without costing you a dime.
I have to say that’s pretty Cool!!
With search engines becoming so full of junk and ‘SPAM’ people are starting to resort to other means of locating the targeted information their looking for. Thats where Social Bookmarking communities come into play and where you can benefit, if you follow the rules.
More and more Social Bookmarking services are popping up because of there ability to easily locate targeted information by simply using ‘Tags’ making it easier for the web user to find the information their looking for.
I truly hope you see how POWERFUL - Social Bookmarking - can be as another means of targeted traffic generation and urge you to look into it further for your own sake to see if it’s something you might want to consider as another source of traffic generation for your websites.

RSS… and Why Its Being Considered The Newest Player In The VIRAL Marketing Game
Posted on 12. Aug, 2009 by Cory.
I have a quick question to ask you… “Are you sick and tired of hearing about RSS(Real Simple Syndication) and how it can take your online business to New levels with VERY little effort on your part?”
If you answered ‘YES’ to the question above then stop reading this article Right Now!
If you answered ‘NO’ then your going to love what I’m about to reveal to you about RSS and WHY its being consider the newest player in the VIRAL marketing game.
But before I do I think its important you understand the mechanics of each(RSS and VIRAL marketing) and what there role is so there’s no confusion.
RSS by definition — RSS stands for ‘Real Simple syndication or Rich Site Summary’ and is used to syndicate news or information and is usually associated with Blogs because blogs use an RSS feed to distribute their content.
Next…
VIRAL Marketing by definition — is any form of advertising and/or marketing techniques that “spread” like a virus without you having to do anything.
Now that you have an idea what the two mean and the roles they each play it’s now time to tie it all together.
I have another quick question…(As you can see I like to ask questions.) “What do all website owners and portal sites need on a 24/7 basis to keep their visitors/readers coming back day after day?
If you answered ‘Content’ then give yourself a pat on the back because your absolutely Right!
And what do RSS feeds contain that update on a 24/7 basis?
CONTENT! Whether its News related or Articles.
And where do website owners and portal webmasters go to find these much needed RSS feeds?
You guessed it… ‘RSS Directories‘ where hopefully You submitted your RSS feed(s) to.
The great thing about ‘RSS Directories’ is they are all categorized making it easy for whomever is looking.
And if your RSS feed catches their eye, guess what? They’ll add your feed to there website where You’ll gain all that FREE exposure at their expense.
Now, just imagine if 100 or 1000 website owners picked up your RSS feed.
Your traffic to your website would start to Explode effortlessly without you lifting a finger.
And the cool thing is all you had to do was set it up once.
The more ‘Quality’ RSS feeds you have out there the more opportunities you have of getting picked up by webmasters.
Do you see Now how RSS is being considered VIRAL? And this all happens while your sleeping.
It gets better So hold on.
Do you publish your own Content/Articles?
If you do you are also in for a real treat because guess what other directories are starting to incorporate RSS into their directories?
That’s right, ‘Article Directories’.
By submitting your articles to the TOP ‘Article Directories’ the same effect will happen as I outlined with ‘RSS Directories’.
Remember this, people come online primarily for Information that will help solve a particular problem they are dealing with.
Websites contain ‘Information’.
Website owners need Fresh ‘Information’ on a 24/7 basis to feed their readers needs.
RSS feeds deliver content, whether its News related or Articles, on a 24/7 basis or whatever frequency the website owner chooses.
How can you take advantage of this Right Now if you haven’t already?
Simply set up a Blog at Blogger — www.blogger.com — and start posting to it on a Daily basis with your Articles, Product Reviews or News related postings related to your target audience.
Then go submit your Blogs RSS feed to all the top ‘RSS Directories’.
Here’s a link to a list of Top RSS Directories that you can submit your feed(s) to.
Go to: www.masternewmedia.org/rss/top55/
Once you’ve done that you’ll want to Ping your Blog to get the Search Engines to come visit and start indexing your Blogs pages.
You can do this by using this Free service called Ping-O-Matic.
Go to: pingomatic.com/
Well there you have it in a nutshell.
I hope you see the true Power of RSS and more importantly… “WHY Its Being Considered The Newest Player In The VIRAL Marketing Game“.
The only thing left for you to do is… Take Action!

With RSS Directories and Search Engines coming into the mix as well these days for RSS feeds you really have to decide whether or not you really want it get in on the RSS craze.
Now, before I get to far ahead of myself here I want to make sure you know exactly what RSS is and why it’s becoming such an essential tool for Your online business and other businesses around the world.
I’ve received a lot of feedback from people just starting out online and/or other webmasters who are not quite sure asking… “what is RSS in Plain English and do I need it for my online business?”.
With that said, lets now define what RSS(Real Simple Syndication) is in plain english for those of you who are new to it and for those of you who are still a little bit confused about it and its uses.
RSS is by definition — an acronym for “Really Simple Syndication” or “Rich Site Summary”, and the .XML extension is the format used for distributing YOUR news headlines via the Web, which is known as “Syndication”.
Syndication is where the true power of RSS is unleashed, getting your message or information across the web in an INSTANT to websites, your subscribers and/or readers.
Now, to put this in plain english, RSS is simply a technology that distributes your information(whatever it might be — ex. Articles, Special Offers, Product Reviews, Resource Announcements) by syndicating it across the net.
It’s that simple.
It doesn’t have to get any more complex then that.
The more websites, subscribers and/or readers that opt-in to your RSS feeds, the more FREE targeted traffic you’ll receive from their websites.
How can you take advantage of this new technology… Starting Today?
Set up a BLOG!
Blog’s are great because they are RSS ready.
You can set-up a free blog account through Blogger — www.blogger.com — and begin posting to it within minutes.
All you have to supply is the content.
I truly hope this article cleared up any confusion you might of had about RSS and will help you take that next step to deciding whether or not RSS is for you and your business.
My final thoughts are, don’t be afraid to do a little research, you’ll be amazed at what you might find if you spend a little looking for it on the net.

New to the Internet and Internet Marketing?
Looking to stack your claim of Internet “RICHES” by starting up a online business of your own?
Aren’t we all.
I remember when I first got started online… I didn’t have a clue where to start, how to start, let alone, how to market my business online.
It was so overwhelming because everytime I typed in the keywords “Internet Marketing” into a search engine I would literally receive hundreds of thousands of results about “How to market your business on the Internet”.
Where do you start when your getting that many results?
And… more importantly, who do you believe when you start going through them?
I’m sure some of you experienced the same feelings and thoughts I did when you first got started and/or are feeling right now if you are thinking of setting up shop online.
It’s Very easy to get caught up in all the HYPE on the Internet about how easy it is to Make Money online, but, the truth of the matter is, it’s not as easy as you think simply because you First have to earn the trust of your potential customer through the words you speak, and more importantly, you have to know how to reach them via the Internet.
This is where alot of newbie Start-Ups fail because they get so caught up in all the HYPE on how to promote there business online that they end up suffering from what is called… “Information Overload” and end up pulling the plug and never looking back.
Well, I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be that way.
Don’t give up so easily on your dream of being independent.
There are many ways to promote your business online. Some are FREE and some are not.
There’s Pay-Per-Click search engines, Permission Email Marketing, RSS, Banners, Viral Marketing, MLM, Traffic Exchanges, Search Engine’s, Blogs and much more.
This can at first seem Very overwhelming for someone new to the Internet and Internet marketing.
I know from experience.
Now, with that said, for the remainder of this article I want to focus on HOW you should approach marketing your business via the Internet so this doesn’t happen to you.
It’s really not that difficult if you take your time and not jump into every marketing tactic available that’s being thrown your way or cluttering up your Inbox.
Your first step should be to get your website up and ready to take orders.(The most important step)
Your next step is to pick ONE marketing strategy that you think will drive the Most targeted traffic to your website and MASTER IT!
I’m going to say that again…
“first, get your website up and ready to take orders, then pick ONE marketing strategy that you think will drive the MOST targeted traffic to your website and… MASTER IT!”
Did you get that?
I hope so.
By doing this ONE step, by mastering ONE technique before moving on to the next, it will save you from suffering from what I and many others did when they first got started…
Which was… “Information Overload”.
(Note: To clarify what I mean by “Information Overload”, I mean… having to know everything and anything about Internet marketing and online business al at once.)
By just mastering ONE technique first and testing its results, you will grow your Internet business much Faster and with less confusion and time wasted.
I’ve been marketing my online business by this one principal for quite some time now with great results.

10 Powerful Reasons Why Articles Remain The Internets #1 Marketing Strategy
Posted on 14. Jul, 2009 by Cory.
We’ve all heard it… “Content IS King” and for good reason because it IS as far as the Internet is concerned.
And when it comes to web surfers, they come online for two reasons, One is to check there email and reason number Two is to search the web for information.
How do you think the internet received the reputation as the “Information Super-Highway”?
Because thats what its primary purpose was before they decided to commercialize it to what it is today.
And… what do articles contain?
The answer is quite simple… Information.
So, what does this have to do with you?
Be the one who supplies it.
It’s that simple.
Now, for the rest of this article I’m going to give you 10 powerful reasons why you should and/or need to get started using articles as one of your online marketing strategies so you too can reap the benefits.
With that said, lets move on to reason #1.
Reason #1. Search Engines LOVE them.
It’s no secret that Search Engines LOVE content, so if you supply it on a regular basis your giving them a great reason to stop on by to take a look around.
Once there they’ll spider and index your website which is just what you want.
Reason #2. Website and Newsletter owners always need them.
I touched base on this earlier about why web surfers come online.
Website owners need fresh content to keep there visitors and/or subscribers coming back, where as newsletter publishers also need fresh content for there “email” newsletters that they publish and send to there subscriber base.
Remember the two reasons I discussed earlier about WHY web surfers come online. BINGO!
Reason #3. They generate Life Long residual Traffic.
Articles produce Life Long residual traffic because website owners, newsletter publishers and article directories archive them for there visitors to read and search through.
And since you have a ‘Resource Box’ located at the end of every article you produce with your website info and URL you’ll receive traffic.
Reason #4. Great way to get One-Way HIGH PR links.
This is probably one of the best reasons because when you offer your free information with ‘Reprint Rights’ and the website owner decides to archive your article within there article directory and their website happens to have a High PR(popularity ranking) ranking, guess what?
You’ll be able to ‘Piggy Back’ off there PR giving your website a PR boost because at the end of every article you produce your able to leave your ‘Resource Box’ with all your websites info and most important of all, your URL.
Reason #5. They’re VIRAL.
This is yet another great reason to start using articles as one of your online marketing strategies simple because your going to offer ‘Reprint Rights’ with all the articles you produce giving Website and Newsletter owners permission to publish them causing a VIRAL explosion and Traffic surge to your website.
Reason #6. You can syndicate them via RSS.
If your up to speed on the latest marketing technology called RSS(Real Simple Syndication) and you write ‘Articles’ on a regular basis you can set-up an RSS feed that web surfers and/or website owners can ‘Opt-In’ to and syndicate your ‘Articles’ via RSS to them, plus, you can also submit your RSS feed(s) to RSS search engines and directories.
Depending on how many ‘Opt-In’ this is yet another great reason to get started with ‘Articles’ and another way to generate LOTS of Free targeted traffic.
Reason #7. Bloggers with Blogs need information to.
Bloggers with BLOGS or Web-Logs need information to.
If you provide quality information related to a specific Blog that blog owner just might post your article on his/her blog for their audiences/readership to read giving you again more FREE exposure for your business.
It gets better. Blogs also use RSS(Real Simple Syndication) to syndicate there content to various search engines, RSS search engines and directories giving you again more FREE exposure through there feed.
Reason #8. Info-Product developers need it to.
Ever receive a free ebook of some sort in your Inbox with related articles inside it from other authors?
When you offer your articles with reprint rights and someone decides to include your article in there ebook for a viral marketing campaign they’re working on, guess what?
More FREE targeted traffic for you as that particular ebook circulates across the internet.
Reason #9. Post them to related Forums and Newsgroups.
Remember, the Internet is all about numbers and Forums and Newsgroups contain numbers to and are yet another avenue for you to gain some extra exposure for FREE for your online business through your articles.
Just make sure you read there terms before you start posting because you don’t want to receive any flames in your Inbox.(They can be Nasty.)
Reason #10. You gain INSTANT credibility as an Expert.
The best way to gain the trust of your potential customers online is to supply them with quality information.
By doing this your stepping up and telling them that you know what your talking about within the industry your in giving them a reason to look into what you have to offer further by following the link you provided within your ‘Resource Box’ at the end of your article.
WoW! Are those 10 POWERFUL reasons to get started with article marketing or what?
You get all those benefits by just producing ONE article.
The more you produce the more you’ll benefit.
Do you see how powerful articles are now and how they can take your online business to the next level?
I certainly hope so.
In conclusion: “Content IS King” online and will remain King for as long as the internet exists.

RSS And The 10 MOST Powerful Reasons WHY You Should Be Using It
Posted on 07. Jul, 2009 by Cory.
RSS(Real Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary) is widely becoming a very powerful marketing tool on the web and for internet marketers around the world, the question is…
… “Are you using RSS to syndicate your content?”
When I first stumbled across RSS syndication while surfing the net, it piqued my curiosity to the point where I couldn’t help myself, but, to look into this new form of site promotion further.
What I found out about this new technology will absolutely change the way you keep in touch with your subscribers and/or readers, in many ways, for years to come.
Just to keep up with the times I recently built a webpage for my website specifically to promote my RSS feed in order to take on new subscribers, and… most important of all, to put this new technology to the test.
Now, for those of you who aren’t quite up to speed on what RSS is, here’s a quick definition for you:
RSS is an acronym for “Really Simple Syndication” or “Rich Site Summary”, and the XML extension is the format used for distributing your news headlines via the web, which is known as Syndication.
Syndication is where the true power of RSS is unleashed, getting your message across the web in an Instant to your subscribers and/or readers.
That’s the basics of RSS(Real Simple Syndication).
Now, for the rest of this article I want to focus on the “10 MOST Powerful Reasons WHY You Should Be Using It”.
So, with that said, let’s go to reason #1.
Reason #1. RSS Streamlines communication.
RSS streamlines communication between the publishers and readers making it easier for the subscriber to receive your content.
Reason #2. Readers can Opt-In to feeds.
RSS gives the subscriber the ability to Opt-In to the feeds they are interested in and the ability to Opt-Out if they wish through there RSS reader just like an auto-responder.
Reason #3. You don’t have to maintain an RSS feed.
This is a great time saver for the busy marketer because RSS is a great communication supplement that doesn’t burden the publisher with having to maintain a list or having to follow strict privacy rules.
Reason #4. You have the ability to Syndicate your content.
This is where the true power of RSS comes into play because RSS gives you the ability to syndicate your content to your subscribers and website owners in an instant giving your content the exposure it deserves.
Reason #5. Broadcasts your Sales and Specials.
RSS gives you the ability to broadcast your sales message and specials to a wider audience in less time it would take to set-up an email broadcast.
Reason #6. No filters to worry about.
This is the next best feature to RSS feeds because you don’t have to worry about your message being passed through some email filter.
By using RSS, your message gets delivered to 100% of your subscribers.
This is a very powerful feature.
Reason #7. No more “Spam” complaints.
This is yet another great benefit to RSS because you never have to worry about “Spam” complaints or “Privacy Policies” again because they have to add your feed to there reader, not the other way around with email.
Reason #8. You get INSTANT credibility.
By publishing your own RSS feed your establishing yourself as an expert in the eyes of your readers as someone who knows his/her industry which will build “Trust”.
Reason #9. Multiple ways to read your feed.
RSS is very versatile because it allows you to view the feed in many different media platforms.
Some examples are, Browser Based readers, Software Based readers, and the ability to view feeds on different operating systems like windows and mac.
Reason #10. Free and Easy site promotion.
I like to save the best for last because RSS is a great way to get free traffic to your website without the need of spending money on advertising.
This benefit alone will save you hundreds, if not, thousands in advertising expenses a year in costs to advertise your online business.
Well… are those enough reasons for you to get started with RSS?
I certainly hope so because they sure get me excited everytime I read through them.
Just imagine for a minute your same message you worked so hard on that you were going to send via email getting to 100% of your subscribers INSTANTLY — On-Demand — via your own RSS feed without ever having to worry about email filters.
Your response rates would Double, if not, Triple, meaning more profits in your pocket with less work.
Internet technology at its Best.
As I mentioned early in my article, the best way to take advantage of RSS starting today is to set-up your own dedicated RSS webpage on your website.
If you don’t have time to set-up your own webpage I recommend you set-up an account with Blogger.com — www.blogger.com — and then head over to FeedBurner.com — www.feedburner.com/fb/a/home — and set-up an account there.
FeedBurner.com will auto-generate you a RSS subscription page with whatever RSS feed URL you choose.
In conclusion, publishers using RSS as a communication vehicle for their business are able to create keyword-rich, themed content, establishing Trust, Credibility, and ongoing communication with current and prospective subscribers and/or customers without the worry of email filters getting in the way and GUARANTEE’s 100% delivery.

The 3 MOST Powerful Forms Of Viral Marketing That Will PUT Your Opt In List Building Efforts On Auto-Pilot
Posted on 03. Jul, 2009 by Cory.
EXTRA! EXTRA! Read all about it.
“The Money Is In The… LIST!”
I bet you’ve heard this catch phrase once or twice while surfing around on the Internet.
I know I have.
But, the question that usually arises is… “How do I effectively build one that won’t cost me an arm and a leg in the process?”
Well, today’s your lucky day because I’m going to highlight 3 of the most powerful ways to build your targeted opt-in list by using the power of Viral Marketing as your engine.
And the best part about using these 3 viral methods I’m about to mention are… they cost virtually nothing to produce, are highly targeted, give you instant credibility and are in constant demand by website owners.
So, with that said, let’s move on to what these 3 viral methods are and how they will benefit you and your list building efforts.
Method #1. Writing Special Reports.
- Special Reports work great because they allow you to go into more depth about the Topic or Problem in question where you’ll then be able to lead them to how your Product or Service(or Affiliate product) can fix there current problem.
- They give you Instant Credibility, which builds trust in your customer that you are knowlegdable in your industry.
- Website owners are always looking for quality **Free Stuff** to give away or offer to there Visitors and/or Subscribers.
This is where you could CASH-IN, especially if you make your special report brandable. This gives the website owner even more incentive to give your freebie away if they can make money in the process.
- And your Contact Information will always be inside, no matter what. Meaning, as your report is being passed around the internet you’ll always be able to lead your potential customer back to your website where they could sign-up for your newsletter and/or read up more about your Products or Services you offer.
Method #2. Putting Together A Free eBook.
- Free eBooks work great as well and have the same benefits as I outlined through the special report.
The only difference using this approach is, you can put together a free ebook in less time then it would take to produce your special report simply because it doesn’t even have to be your own material inside, it can be someone else’s.
Just make sure you put together a free ebook with quality information inside.
- And they also allow you to target more then one Product or Service inside because free ebooks are usually a compilation of related articles targetting a particular problem leaving you room to diversify.
Method #3. Writing Articles.
- Writing articles is probably one of the best and most effective ways to produce a wave of viral traffic to your website because every website owner needs fresh content to feed to there visitors and/or subscribers.
- They also allow you to target your audience’s problem specifically that they’re dealing with.
- And at the end of the article you have a spot called the ‘Resource Box’ to insert your personal bio and/or website information.
Just imagine if your article were to be picked up by some newsletter editor with a large list or high traffic website and they use it as a ‘Featured Article’ in there publication, you could see an instant surge of targeted traffic to your website overnight.
That’s where your ‘Resource Box’ comes in.
Well, that about sums it up for the 3 MOST powerful ‘Viral Marketing’ methods being used today by most internet marketers, and for good reason, because they work.
Now, with all that said, what do these 3 viral methods all have in common that’ll put your list building efforts on Auto-Pilot?
- They’re in HIGH demand by website owners.
- They’re HIGHLY Targeted.
- They give you INSTANT Credibility in your industry.
- They have your Contact Details leading to your website.
…and most important of all, they’re all FREE!
Just think for a minute, by using only one of these methods listed above, how it could put your opt-in list building efforts on Auto-Pilot.
This article represents just a summarized version of all the different list building techniques available online, but in my opinion, these 3 are the most effective.
