Internet Marketing News is a post from: Internet Marketing Strategies +Tips From Daniel McGonagle

If you’re looking for internet marketing news there are a few ways you can go about getting the updates you need for your internet marketing business.

However, like anything else, you want to pinpoint the type of news that you want.

For example, if you’re looking for general internet marketing news, what is it you want to stay updated on, new products, product launches, new internet marketing trends, or something more targeted like what’s working right now for search engine optimization practices?

For up to date information on new product releases and even some free reports, you can get your internet marketing news from places like imnewswatch.com or you can get snail mail newsletters.

If you’re into copywriting and tweaking your conversions you should check out Jacob Nielsen’s alert box newsletter, which is straight-up geek-talk and is all about web conversions with hardly any monetization going on with the newsletter itself.

If you want pre-release notice of product launches there are several places that give you access to that information for free.

Sometimes you will even find yourself getting snail mail but these are usually not content-rich magazines, just fluff articles and full of promotions.

Internet Marketing Strategies – what Internet marketing strategy is right for you? is a post from: Internet Marketing Strategies +Tips From Daniel McGonagle

The internet marketing strategies you end up using depends entirely on you as a person.

I was talking to an internet marketing buddy of mine on Skype the other day and we were discussing how we can really, I mean really.. help people with their internet marketing businesses.

The idea Stu and I had was to develop a site that helps people find out sooner rather than later, what internet marketing strategies and business models will work for them.

There are hundreds, if not thousands of ways to make money online but there are only a few business models that one can follow.

For example some business models are making content sites for Adsense, selling digital products, selling products on ebay, offering a service such as writing, link building, site building, or even graphics design.

If you’re not going to be a service provider then your strategies for making money on the internet will be selling your own products, selling someone else’s products asa niche affiliate marketer, or a hybrid of the two; selling your products and someone else’s too.

If you’re going to be selling anything at all on the Internet, your strategies are basically limited to the niches you’re targeting.

Are you going to drive traffic via Pay Per click paid advertising, or get ranked highly via search engine optimization techniques, or both.

There are a lot of internet marketing strategies you can employ to start making money right away.

The quickest and easiest way to make money online is to provide a service, but it is also the most aggravating because you still only have a job, and there will always be the added hassle of dealing with clients.

Internet Marketing Info Overload is a post from: Internet Marketing Strategies +Tips From Daniel McGonagle

There’s a ton of internet marketing info on just about every subject you can think of.

However, getting info about internet marketing from true experts is tough to do because internet marketing and the home business opportunities niche is one where a lot of people are “faking it until they make it”…

Many people are passing themselves off as experts knowledgeable in the fields on which they’re writing which begs the question,

“if your ebook can help me make $192,168.32 per month why are you trying to sell it to me for 10 bucks?”

That’s where people either fall for the hyped-up internet marketing info being presented to them or just become cynical.

It’s OK to be wary, but never be cynical because that mindset will make you overlook some gems of internet marketing info that could really help you if you opted to get that free product or even the paid ones.

There’s plenty of places to get quality internet marketing info, and here’s the order that I see the quality of this type of information being delivered.

#1 – from experts who have succeeded already and just sharing their tips.

However, some experts are so advanced they don’t know how to properly teach their methods to others which leads to frustration.  Good information comes from good sources who also know how to get their points across to the newbie or common generic internet marketer.

#2 0 from marketing forums where people are freely sharing tips.

Just be aware that many people are trying to manipulate the conversation and even some fallacious comments to reinforce what they’re selling.  Remember that everyone’s opinions are based on personal experiences and even frustrations, and your best guide is your personal experiences.

#3 – from paid products you buy that deliver as advertised.

If you buy a product on automated list building and if it is a quality product, then you have your hands on some quality internet marketing info that will help you.

Using Internet Marketing For Online Business Development is a post from: Internet Marketing Strategies +Tips From Daniel McGonagle

Using Internet Marketing For Online Business development seems like a redundant term, but there’s a twist to this that many online marketers will never truly understand:

The twist is that you can use OFFline marketing and internet marketing for online business development.

What many people forget is that offline marketing is where it’s at money-wise, but a bit more complicated to implement, whereas internet marketing and online business development is pretty easy to do.

Offline marketing still outweighs what a normal online business could expect to reach.  The intagible and surreal nature of the Internet doesn’t appeal to all types of people and niche markets.

For example, copywriters for offline businesses can easily make $5.000.00 for a single sales page or for writing for a catalog, but many people turn their noses up at price tags of that amount because it just doesn’t seem worth the investment, although it rarely isn’t.

The point being?

Internet marketing for online business has to be done a certain way, depending on your niche market

Internet Marketing Benefits is a post from: Internet Marketing Strategies +Tips From Daniel McGonagle

Internet Marketing Benefits those who take action, but that’s more of a self-help mind-set piece of advice.

If you’re a company owner, business-owner and want to expand your brand via internet marketing, the benefits are endless, almost…

One of the best Internet Marketing Benefits is the low-cost of entry, and zero requirement for an entry or foray intomarketing yourself, your comapny’s products, or other’s products via affiliate marketing on the medium we called the Internet.

The low-barrier and cost of entryto marketing on the internet  means it’s pretty cheap for a company to start developing an online presence.  The established off-line companies have a great advantage over the person who just wants to make money online because:

1.  the company already has a product of its own,
2. the company already knows exactly what it wants to do with their site,
3. the company doesn’t need to do much niche research as they’re already involved in it,
4. and the company is doing a goodj ob of pre-selling their new and existing cleints since they’re true authority figures which helps increase conversions

Some other internet marketing benefits as applied to individuals or sole properietorship-type businesses is the ability to work from home and no commute to work anymore.

Imagine that, working from home, working whenever you feel like it (but still having to produce!).  It’s a great thing to aspire to and achieve as long as your going to be successful with it.

Imagine the benefits of not having to spend an hour toget to work, then an hour back, plus spedning 9 hours at the office 8 hours of work and a one-hour lunch.  That’s 11 hours  day devoted to going to and working at the office.

There are downsides to internet marketing, don’t get me wrong.  People are so used to working on a tight schedule all hell can break loose when there’s no structure, no designated hours of work, and sometimes even little to see in the way of accomplishments in internet marketing.

But the benefits to internet marketing far outweigh the pitfalls, whether it be for a business, company, or sole proprietorship

Successful Internet Marketing – What It Takes To Be Successful With Internet Marketing is a post from: Internet Marketing Strategies +Tips From Daniel McGonagle

Successful Internet Marketing has more to do with your mindset than anything else

When most people consider internet marketing as an additional income stream or as a supplement to lose wages and loss of a job, the appeal and incone potential is definitely there.

As mentioned above successful internet marketing has more to do with setting realistic goals and achieving your goals can be accomplished in the following ways:

Stop or reduce any addiction to reading emails or posting comments to blogs (except for my emails and blogs of course )

Realize when you’re being sold hyped-up products

Buy only what you need right now for your business.  Don’t be swayed by “new super-secret” tactics and strategies ebooks and marketing products.

Focus on developing your skillset as a marketer, whether it be blogging, article marketing, email marketing, webdesign, squeeze pages, sales pages, copywriting etc…

Develop a working understanding on how to use the marketing tools for your business’s development.  Without marketing tools you don’t have any real means of getting your message in front of eyeballs.

In order to be successful with internet marketing niche research is essential skills that needs to be developed also for this is where most UN successful internet marketers skip a step.

Another quality that is tied in with successful internet marketing and niche research is keyword research.  Keyword research is part of the niche research process as it helps you determine if there’s any demand for your potential niche site.

The most important aspect to successful internet marketing is understanding your target audience and selling things people want to buy.

I’ve helped many clients who built sites based on their successes with organic, natural free methods of losing weight and they’re often surprised and dismayed when their sites on these topics don’t do well monetarily.

The reason this occurs is they didn’t understand their target audience and their target audience really wants to buy quick, easy methods for losing weight, and want pills and secrets cures and pharmaceuticals, not free, organic, long-term, takes-a-lot-of-effort methods.

These are the main ingredients for successful marketing and most successful internet marketers have followed these steps

Internet Marketing Blog – A New Goal For This Internet Marketing Blog is a post from: Internet Marketing Strategies +Tips From Daniel McGonagle

Long gone are my days for setting up sites without giving much aforethought to the goals and mission when creating a new site.

My original goal for this site was to prove to myself how getting a keyword-rich domain name makes life a lot easier than trying to get ranked well for a web page that does have much in the way of SEO value.  But now I have a new goal for this site.

The new goal for this Internet Marketing Blog?

To get to page 1 of Google for the term internet marketing and at the moment I decided to write this post revealing my new goal for this site, I wasn’t anywhere near page 1 of Google… 

As a matter of fact, I got a headache searching for my site to be listed for the term internet marketing and stopped at page 75.  I felt like an idiot doing this and really should have stopped at page 20 at the most… but this internet marketing blog is definitely wayyyyyyy back in the SERPS right now for this term so it should be a fun ride.

How will I do this?

Well, by writing a lot, for starters… I’ll need a lot of unique content on this here internet marketing blog to have a robust enough site to encourage ranking well in the search engines… plus more writing and backlinking…

What will I write about?

All of the most searched-for terms related to Internet Marketing.  I will start with the top 100 terms and start witrh the easy ones first, the least-searched-for and probably least competitive terms.  As more content gets added to this site, and as more backlinks get pointed towards it, it will become a lot easier to do, and I expect to be on page 20 within a month or so.

Then what Dan?

Then I’ll promote the site and get backlinks to each and every new post that is made…  Did I say that already?  What will I DO with this site once it reaches that goal?  Sell stuff I suppose, like my SEO guide, ad space, affiliate products, maybe even adsense for a while.

Actually if Adsense gets put on this site and it’s making…say…$10.00/day in Adsense, then the whole roject can beoutsourced by hiring a writer and using a staffer to generate the backlinks.  But we have to get to that point first, right?

What keywords are you going to be targeting here Dan?

My next post will reveal all of the top searched-for terms related to inernet marketing according to Google External tool, since that’s a halfway decent place to start and I can get a Keywords list generated pretty quickly.

Internet Marketing Tools: Not Using Them Is a Mistake is a post from: Internet Marketing Strategies +Tips From Daniel McGonagle

In my last post I wrote about how not using an autoresponder like AWeber was a mistake

…but that’s only like 1/5th of the story here, because you need more than just an autoresponder in your marketing toolkit

You need web hosting, possibly some audio creation software, some video creation software for promotions and video tutorials, and some other tools, too.

Some tools that bloggers need are good plugins list, readily available set of blog themes, and a good ping list.

It takes a while to learn how to use all these tools but not using any of them is a mistake.

Don’t worry if you don’t know everything about each and every recommended tool, just learn as you go, and add to your knowledge as needed.

Not Using a Quality autoresponder like AWeber is a mistake is a post from: Internet Marketing Strategies +Tips From Daniel McGonagle

If you’re not building a list, you’re not building a business, and one way to build a list is to use a quality autresponder like AWeber.

Here is an Aweber review and article… Before we get into the AWeber Review, the question of whather or not you should you an autoresponder at all must be addressed.

Here are 2 reasons why you need to use an autoresponder.

1. Small businesses are NOT taking full advantage of their customer contacts and leaving a lot of money on the table because of this..
2. Small business owners are also not following up with their customers in such a way as to retain their loyalty.

A customer list that is easily contacted by email is a gold mine for small businesses, and even more so for larger businesses.

There are too many people on the Internet trying to make sales from their website vistiors while overlooking the power of having a subscriber list to mail to… on demand..

The best way to build a list of subscribers is to use an autoresponder, and AWeber gets my vote as the best autoresponder of choice for small and large businesses.

1. AWeber pro-rates their service fees to accommodate the person who is just beginning to develop their subscriber base.
2. AWeber has tracking and analytics tools to help you get more out of your email marketing efforts…  This continued devotion to helping you increase your conversions is one of the primary reasons they’ve been considered the top autoresponder by almost all the top internet marketers…
3. AWeber customer service is by far the best support you’ll get from an autoresponder company.  They have a support blog that continually gives out good information on their new developments and tools.
4. They also have a Live Chat support function with minimal wait time, with support representatives available to help you during normal business hours and beyond.  In fact, they expanded their support hours in 2008 to help accommodate more people, due to the popularity of their autoresponder service.
5. AWeber also offers a free trial period of 30 days so it’s basically a risk-free venture on your part.

Your customer contact, follow-up and communications are the backbone of your online business, so it’s safe to say that a risk-free trial period from the top-rated autoresponder service is a welcome addition to your portfolio of online marketing tools…

Also, the deliverability rate of the emails you send is guaranteed, at a 99% plus rate…

When you read an AWeber review you expect it to be a candid review, so here’s some of the things most AWeber reviews won’t tell you:

• There is a bit of a learning curve to learning how to use AWeber.  I can remember learning how to use it years ago, and I got frustrated with it because I did not have the mentality to be patient, but at that time I also didn’t realize just how valuable a skill I was learning.
• Not many people know how to use an autoresponder properly, therefore just having one isn’t going to increase your income, you need to use it effectively, too.
• Building a subscriber base is something you will always be doing because your list size will decrease over time.  You need to use your autoresponder effectively if you want to have an automated way of keeping the subscriber base growing.

So here’s a tip for you…

Go into learning how to use an autoresponder with the following facts in mind:

1. Your online income is usually proportionate to the size of your customer list
2. Email marketing is the back bone for online business owners and where the real money is made
3. Your subscribers list (free subscribers and paid customers) is your on-demand gold mine if handled properly

Those three sentences reveal undisputed facts, just ask around and you’ll see and know this is true.  If you keep those 3 sentences in mind while you’re learning how to use your new autoresponder, you’ll be a bit more patient than I was with learning how to use it and will probably get more out of it than I did my first week or so.

If/when you get AWeber or any other type of autoresponder, you should devote the first few days to learning how to use it, and spend the next day or two building some squeeze pages, and the rest of the 30-day free trial period to build up enough of a list to pay for your first month’s fees.

If you go into this committed to using it properly and for the long-term, AWeber will pay for itself before you have to make your first payment…

Internet Marketing Mistake Many “IM-ers” Make is a post from: Internet Marketing Strategies +Tips From Daniel McGonagle

I was warned about this Internet Marketing Mistake…

I was told not to spend too much time doing it…

But 8 1/2 months later, I finally realized the truth as it was told to me by a marketing buddy of mine James Brown.

How it all started:

A while ago I realized I didn’t know much about SEO, blogging, link building and thought that this was unacceptable since I had to teach my Marketer’s Relief members how to get top rankings for their niche sites.

So, I went on an “SEO bender”, watched what happened to my sites, made too many changes due to being impatient with things, tried different link building services, went after different keywords etc…

Guess what? A lot of that effort wasn’t necessary!

Guess why all of that wasn’t necessary?

• Because 90% of my profits don’t come from my web sites’ ability to convert visitors into people who buy “stuff”…
• Because most of my sites catering to the IM crowd, sites like this one, convert best via email not one-time visits from an RSS reader.
• 90% of my profit comes from email marketing, which is 95% automated (follow ups do all the work, and I hardly ever send broadcasts since I am still too obsessed with SEO)

I’ve been involved in product launches and have build several sites targeting certain terms trying to corral some more signups… but hours and hours were spent to get 10-15 more signups when the best signups are the ones who trust me and joined right away.

The ones who signed up via emails I sent have been on my list for a while, so they know that I know my S**T when it comes to making money online.

Therefore, they know if I recommend something it’s worth getting or doing.

..but new site visitors don’t know that unless I come right out and tell them that.

I might be a marketer, and I might be someone who has to prove authority in order to be believed in this niche, but I’m still too modest to build websites that show me bragging… it’s just not my style.

Anyways, at the end of the day my best performing site in the SERPs for terms related to that launch is the site that I’ve blogged to continually for the last 8 months, not the new site I built.

Also, at the end of the day, 80% of my signups came from emails I sent, which took me about 30 minutes to send…

On the downside, it took me hours and hours to set up multiple new sites just to get a smattering of new signups from all that effort.

I was told that the IM niche of marketing to other marketers is one of the few niches that is unique in that organic rankings and top SERPs doesn’t really align itself with your income.

In other words, top rankings for certain terms doesn’t mean you’re a top earner.  Some long time old school gurus are piss-poor bloggers and SEO guys…

But the one thing that always holds true when it comes to the internet marketing niche it’s that your list size is usually commensurate with your income.

With the “IM” niche, it’s really all about email marketing, therefore list building is more important than link-building if you’re an “IM-er”.

Right now, I am actually trying to wean myself off from blogging even as I keep adding new sites to my portfolio, go figure…

My goal is to capitalize on all the SEO work I’ve done in the last 8 1/2 month by adding some list building tactics to glom of those high rankings…

My goal is to increase my list size by 4 X what it is now to 24,000 subscribers.

If you’re interested in helping the cause you can join my list here and get some top quality free reports that I know will help you…

Just click internet marketing mistakes

P.S. Why didn’t I just put an optin form on this post instead of linking to a squeeze page?  Because a focus on SEO and link building can become an addicition so I hyperlink with anchor text whenever I can.

Now, speaking like a typical addict, let me try to explain my obsession and why my mistake isn’t really a mistake:

All the SEO-based efforts I expended weren”t really for nothing since link building and SEO and lead up to semi-permanent feelers out there on the internet that can possibly bring in prospects, sales and traffic for a long time to come whereas list building is something you have to constantly do, since list sizes go down with every email sent.

Web sites well positioned in the search engines will always bring in new prospects for you, and hopefully sales… If your positioning in the search engines slip a bit, you just get more links to maintain that.  Maybe that’s what I liked so much about doing SEO and link building, it was the act of building a super-solid long term foundation for bringing prospects into my business.

I haven’t focused on building a list in over 2 years and I’ve learned some hard lessons along the way…

Typical stubborn Irish hothead who has ot learn everything the hard way…

I hope you listen.
