Business is good, but you could still use a few more leads. Who couldn’t? Starting today, put your website to work generating solid leads that convert to solid sales. The first step is to get those strong prospects to visit your website. There are a number of ways to do this. Join the forums and email groups where your prospects are most likely lurk and answer their questions with solid, well-researched information. This shouldn’t be difficult since you are the expert at what you do, right? The most important part of your post is the signature at the bottom that links to your website, because the more one-way links your website has, the more search engines love you. Give your lead-generating website another needed boost with keyword-driven advertising like Yahoo’s Overture and Google’s AdSense. Both offer advertising that puts your URL in front of the people most interested in what you’re offering. When those prospects arrive at your website, it’s easy to warm them from tepid to piping hot with a value-packed opt-in newsletter. And when they enter their names and email addresses in the dialog box, their info goes right into your marketing database. If you’ve got a good customer relationship management (CRM) software program, it will instantly sent a confirmation email, giving you another point of contact in your quest for frequency. You can also use that CRM to manage your newsletters and send additional emails to your database. Most importantly, once your prospect opts-in, make sure your website opens a ‘Thank You’ window that features more offers. Think of it as ‘Thank You’ marketing. After all, you know that these prospects are likely to appreciate and take advantage of additional reports or killer discounts. With the CRM program, you can track which customers took advantage of which offers. Now you can follow up with additional special offers tailored to their interests (which increases the chance they'll buy.) In addition, you can generate even MORE leads by using your ‘Thank You’ to give prospects the opportunity to tell their friends about your newsletter with the click of a button. Be sure to ask for the least amount of information that you need – the more info you ask for, the higher the chance that they won’t give you any. Once you have a relationship, THEN you can start asking for more information, like addresses for direct response marketing (and again, all that goes into your marketing database.) With the right CRM software program, adding a direct mail component to your email marketing will be a snap. Once you have your newsletter in place, another route to consider for lead generation is to launch a contest. Contests are sure-fire tools for creating buzz and community around your website. And because contests are such winners, prospects will likely be willing to share more personal information than they did to get the newsletter. Joining forums and using keyword-driven advertising can bring prospects to your website, and newsletters, contests and special offers can keep them there. It all adds up to more leads of the right kind. And managed correctly, those leads are, after all, money. And who couldn’t use a little more of that?

Make a living on line
Is it possible to make a part time or full time living on the Internet? Can you make enough money to make your time worthwhile? According to all the "gurus" you can easily make a LOT of money by buying their program and doing EXACTLY what they tell you to do. Is all of this hype really true? The answer is yes and no. It really is true that a stay at home Mom or a student in need of extra income or a full time worker needing a part-time income can make money on the Internet. It is also true that a lot of people are making a full-time living and even becoming rich on the Internet. The question is, "Can you do it too"? Again the answer is maybe yes and maybe no. It depends on how much time you are willing to invest in studying the techniques and learn the methods you need for Internet Marketing (IM) success. The fastest way to earn extra money online is to sell on Ebay. You can start right now, today, and in 3 days be paid online for items you sell. There are a lot of "get rich quick" tutorials for sale on how to make it on Ebay, but you don't need one. You can simply register at the Ebay site, read their tutorial and get started selling items you have around the house. A lot of people make a few extra dollars to a few hundred extra dollars a month on Ebay. Others make a lot more. Ebay or any business you get into online or in a physical business location has the potential to make money. Lots of people succeed in business and a lot fail. Your success or failure will depend on how well you prepare, how much you study and how much energy you put into the project. The great thing about online businesses compared to brick and mortar stores is it usually costs a lot less to get started. For instance, getting stared selling on Ebay doesn't cost anything. You only pay fees when you run an Ebay auction ad. Once you have some money rolling in on Ebay, you can invest in one of the guru courses that you can find in any search engine by doing a search for, "Internet marketing". Do you have to buy a course? No, you can find free information online to help you get started. The advantage of a course is that it is all in one place. Every course you find will offer you good advice. It is hard to say which is best. Just like some people love Fords and hate Chevy's, it is the same with IM guru courses. The secret is to do a little online research, pick one and then follow it. Internet Marketing can be as easy as creating a simple website and putting other company's ads on the site. You get paid when someone buys a product or even when someone clicks on an ad. You don't even need a product to sell; you only have other's ads on your web pages. Ebay is a make money today proposition. For most people, Internet Marketing is a get rich slow process. Yes, some people make money within days or weeks of starting on online business. There are no hard and fast rules on how long it will take you to make money online or how much you can make. It all depends on how hard you are willing to work and how much time you are willing to devote to creating a new business.

The reason why paid survey sites multiply faster than bacteria
Imagine if you could make a dollar every time you handed someone a special sheet of paper. To earn the dollar, all you’d have to do is get people to read that sheet of paper. Normally, you’d think making money in this fashion would be the greatest thing since sliced bread. However, you’d soon find out that you’d have a very big problem on your hands: copycats. Generate a lot of cash for yourself and people will no doubt take notice. Not only will they copy your business model, but they will do anything they can do make their business look good while making yours look bad. Enter the infamous paid survey site. Websites that claim you can make big bucks by taking a few surveys online every now and then. It wasn’t long ago when I first saw one of these sites and thought to myself: “Wow, what a great way to make a little extra cash for myself.” Little did I know, this was just one of a million other survey sites out there basically offering the same type of deal. I was under the impression that the site I joined was reputable and unique. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Hundreds, if not thousands of these paid survey sites exist. Unfortunately 99% of them are exactly the same. Why so many clones you ask? It’s because paid survey sites are similar to the “sheet of paper” example that I mentioned early. Paid survey sites are a profitable business, and they’re incredibly easy to copy. Let’s take an example: Joe spends a Sunday afternoon surfing the web and stumbles across a paid survey site. He reads that he can get paid for his opinion by taking surveys online. All he has to do is pay an upfront membership fee to access the database of companies that send out the surveys. Joe signs up, pays the membership fee, takes a few surveys and makes a few extra bucks. Joe then becomes aware that this paid survey site business model works like a charm. It was able to convince him to pay to access the directory, so why wouldn’t it be able to convince other people? Joe then decides to create a survey site of his own. He already has the big list of survey companies from the site he joined prior. The only thing he has to do is register a domain name, purchase a web host, throw together a page and voila: a new paid survey site is born! So now, not only does Joe receive money from the surveys he’s taking, but also from the upfront membership fee he charges his visitors to access the exact same list of survey companies that got him started in the first place! Each person that signs up at Joe’s new website represents yet another chance that he or she will take notice of this survey site business model and create one themselves. Thus you can see just how quickly these types of sites are copied. They really do multiply faster than bacteria! But what does this mean for you? Well, quite frankly, you’re getting ripped off. Not only are these paid survey sites copycats of one another, the list of companies that they charge you for is actually available for free! Yes, you read that right. These survey companies are not top secret classified C. I.A documents. They’re all out there on the web to be found. They’re just looking to do market research and they need help from people like you to give opinions on their products. The trouble lies in knowing where to find these companies. That’s the relief these paid survey sites provide. Upon paying the membership fee, you are given access to a huge, neatly organized list of companies that send out the surveys. But I’d wager you’d have a grumbling feeling inside your stomach knowing you’re paying for something that you know is freely available. Am I right? Those were my feelings as well, so I decide to do some legwork and create a website listing some of the top survey companies without charging a fee upfront to access them. After all, not everyone wants to be known as bacteria.
