Applying For A CPA Account

When you fill out an application, place a n/a in the website requirement field. Then, in the comments block or space attached to the registration form, explain that you intend to use PPC (Pay Per Click) marketing as a way of promoting the offers.

Pay Per Click marketing on sites like Google Adwords do not require that you have a website, and potential CPA companies understand this and are likely to approve you if you take the time to explain your intentions. Do not just mark the website requirement field as N/A and fail to provide information as to your marketing campaign tactics or you will not be accepted.

Still, if possible, the easiest way to be ensure your acceptance is to simply spend a couple of hours creating a blog using a platform such as Wordpress, or one of the free web development tools available through resources such as http://www.xsitepro.com/ .

By purchasing a $8 domain and a $5 hosting account with services such as www.HostGator.com, you can easily set up a professional looking website that is sure to be accepted by any CPA network or program that you are interested in.

If you do create a website, you can apply for CPA offfers even before it begins to generate traffic by following the same format as described above, indicating that your website is new but that you purchase traffic through PPC, or media buys. This will easily explain why you do not currently have organic, natural SEO traffic to your website.

When asked how much experience you have online, which is a field often included on any CPA registration form, indicate that you have at least 1 1/2 years experience. They are interested in seasoned marketers more so than new affiliates so by indicating that you are not a newcomer and have substantial experience inonline advertising, you are likely to push the odds of being accepted in your favor.

When asked what "Verticals" or offers that you currently promote, indicate that you focus on Entertainment, Business Opportunities, Finance and Health.

In addition, make sure that you provide a valid email address and avoid using a free email service like gmail.com or Hotmail, but instead, create a domain based email account from within your hosting panel such as yourname@yourcompany.com or support@yoursite.com.

Once you have submitted your application, expect to receive a phone call from the CPA network or programs that you are interested in joining as many of these companies will call each applicant, individually to verify your request to join and to compile a bit of information on you in order to create an affiliate profile.

When they call, be sure to answer the phone as allowing it to go to voicemail will cause your application to be put on hold until they are able to reach you.If you are interested in using a call forwarding service that will cloak your phone number, ensuring privacy and allowing you to turn off all calls at certain hours to avoid interruptions during family time, you can subscribe to GotVmail's service at http://www.GotVmail.com.

If you do receive a call from a CPA Network while you are unavailable, be sure to return their call as quickly as possible. This will show them that you are a serious, and proactive affiliate and are genuinely interested in their program. If you do not receive a call within a day or two, consider calling them.

Once approved, you will be assigned an affiliate manager who will provide personal support in helping you get started with CPA marketing. Your affiliate manager is responsible for helping you choose the best, top converting offers, as well as providing you with tracking code and other tools and resources to help you create your campaigns and start promoting.

One of the things that many new CPA members fail to realize, is that your affiliate manager wants you to succeed, as their earnings are dependent on how well you do, so take advantage of this support system and contact your affiliate manager whenever you need help choosing programs to promote, or simply have questions.

CPA - Getting Accepted

While there are literally hundreds of CPA networks available online, being accepted isn't always as easy as some may suggest.

For instance, unlike traditional affiliate programs where you are guaranteed to be accepted after completing their registration form, CPA programs often manually approve each applicant, and since they are quite often, the target of those wishing to exploit their offers for quick financial gain, these CPA companies often require specific guidelines be met in order to be even considered as a participant and potential affiliate.

It isn't uncommon to have your application rejected when you first apply, simply because you failed to provide detailed information about your experiences or, you appeared as though you were a new marketer, when quite honestly, most CPA networks prefer that those applying have at least a bit of Internet Marketing and online business knowledge.

One of the most common problems that new affiliate marketers make when signing up for CPA offers is failing to provide an active, completed and established website or blog.

CPA companies often require that you have established a customer base or an online presence as a way of verifying your efforts and how you intend to promote their offers. This means that in order to be accepted by a large number of CPA companies, you need to build a simple, yet complete, website or blog prior to joining these networks. There is, however, another way around this if you are uninterested in establishing a website and are interested in jumping right into the CPA industry without delay.

CPA - Another Way To Earn From the Internet

In the "online money making" industry, there is a great abundance of opportunities available that will help you earn a living online, supplement your existing income, save up for a rainy day, or to simply enhance your skills, paying you to learn as you go. There is however, yet another lucrative opportunity up for grabs, one that may not be as widely understood as mainstream activities like that of blogging or affiliate marketing, but just as profitable, if not more so. It's called CPA Marketing, and whether you are brand new to online marketing and business in general, or you are seasoned enough to see an opportunity with potential, CPA is quickly attracting attention and generating a buzz amongst those who want to maximize their time and efforts quickly and easily.

CPA (cost per action) is also known as PPA (pay per action) and is an online marketing opportunity that pays you based on a specific structure or model. For example, if you participated in CPA offers, you would be paid each time a prospect completed a specific action, such as registering on a website, filling out a form, signing up for an offer, or perhaps just visiting a particular website.

The requirements often range from a single email opt-in to lengthier form processing including three, four page surveys, application forms as well as downloading software, scripts, demos and screen savers. While CPA offers vary and the requirements associated with being credited for an 'action', there are an abundance of high paying CPA offers and programs that you can get involved in.

Most CPA Companies pay out anywhere from $.25 right up to $4.00 for a single email capture (visitor enters in their email for information), with other CPA opportunities paying out as much as $150.00 for a multi-part process or a more in depth requirement where your prospect may need to verify their address, accept a free trial offer and at times, your payment will only be credited weeks later once your prospect has completed the process.

In order to begin earning money with CPA offers, you will need to enroll into a handful of CPA based programs. There are networks available online that house a large variety of CPA offers, enabling you to join one website and being given the opportunity to participate in multiple programs from many different companies.

Once you have been accepted into a CPA program, you will be given a unique affiliate link, just as you would if you joined a traditional affiliate program. This link identifies you as an affiliate and tracks all of your activity, primarily your sales and in turn, provides you with conversion rates and other information that can help you determine how well your promotional campaigns are doing.

All of this tracking is done by the CPA network itself, where your account information is stored. One of the best things about working with a CPA network is that you can promote multiple CPA offers, covering a wide variety of niche markets and receive one paycheck for your total earnings combined.

What topics make for good info products?

Someone once said, "If you can teach people how to feel better, look younger, be thinner, get rich or be more attractive to the opposite sex, the world will beat a path to your door." And those topics are just the tip of the iceberg.


An e-book is no different from its paper cousin, except that it's meant to be delivered and read electronically. Topics for e-books are as wide-ranging as regular books. A few recent bestsellers show people how to:

• Start an eBay business
• Make money in real estate
• Make your own beer
• Protect yourself against a mugger
• Get the best deal on a used car
• Play a better game of golf

Where do you sell info products?

Although some e-book authors go the traditional route and actually sell their e-books on CDs at neighborhood bookstores, the largest marketplace for digital info products is on the web. At any given moment, there are thousands of info products for sale on eBay, Yahoo! Auctions, specialized e-book seller websites, and even Amazon.com.

When marketing your own info product, you can't wait for customers to find you—you have to bring your product to them. Seek out those who would be interested in what you have to say. If you've written an e-book on how to brew your own beer, check out the online forums devoted to the topic of beer. (You'll might be surprised to find that there are hundreds of forums for beer lovers!)

Without posting an obvious ad, which is usually not allowed, offer to send free copies of your book to whoever will take one. Don't worry about giving them away for free at first. Once your book finds an initial audience, these people will help you sell more books by referring customers to you.

I also recommend that you create a website to help sell your e-book. A website is the modern day equivalent of the bookseller's car trunk.

Why Information Is The Best Product To Sell Online

As more and more people move to the World Wide Web seeking their fortunes, the number-one business question of the recent age has become: "What's the best product to sell
online?" The answer is simple: information. No other type of product is easier to create, faster to bring to market, easier to distribute and potentially more profitable, often offering profits of 1,000 percent or more.

Informational products come in many forms. An info product can be a digital book (an ebook), a digital report or a white paper, a piece of software, a web site or a newsletter. Any product that's informational or informative in nature can be considered an info product.

Here's why information is the best product to sell online:

• It's fast to create, fast to market. Forget a product development cycle that's years in the
  making. Forget an intense design and costly manufacturing process. If you have an appealing topic and a computer, you have all the tools you need to create an info product.
  
• There's no inventory to stock. Forget filling your garage with boxes of cheap watches and
  cases of megavitamins that you'll never sell. When you sell information, there's no inventory to stock. Your product is digital (I like to call it electronic air) and requires no space in your garage, just a little space on your computer.

• The startup costs are low. When you sell information, you can literally create a product for next to nothing. If your product is an e-book, the only investment required is the time it takes to put words to digital paper. And if you become an affiliate marketer of someone
  else's info product, your investment can be zero.
  
• There's an automated sales and delivery process. Thanks to internet technology, you can sell info products 24/7 and never lift a finger. In fact, you don't even have to be awake or at home to make money with an info product. You can completely automate the sales and delivery process so your site does everything for you. An automated site can give a potential customer your sales pitch, take the order and process the payment, deliver the product by e-mail, and even follow up in a few days to make sure the customer's satisfied and offer to sell him additional products.

• Customers get immediate access or delivery. Online consumers are an impatient lot. They want things now! These are the people who stand in front of the microwave, impatiently tapping their foot and frowning at their watch. Selling information is the best way to give your customers immediate satisfaction. As mentioned earlier, an automated site can process the order and payment, then immediately e-mail the product's download link to your customer.

• There are no shipping and handling charges. One of the things I never liked about selling hard goods was the manual process of taking the order, running the credit card, and placing the order with a drop-shipper or filling the order of my stock. I hated finding a box, packing peanuts, printing the label, taping it all up and lugging it to the post office. Every minute I spent filling orders was time that I wasn't being compensated for; therefore, my profit grew smaller with every minute spent on shipping and handling. Informational products require no shipping and handling—most are delivered by e-mail. In the time it takes you to click your mouse, you can deliver an info product into your customers' hands.

3 Tips To Succeed Online

There’s an old saying that’s been around much longer than the Internet that really does have a wealth of truth to it. And that saying is simply this:

“Those who fail to plan, plan to fail.”

And it certainly is true when it comes to growing an Internet business. Ifmyou don’t carefully plan your business strategy, you’ll likely become another one in the long line of those who fail.
Some estimates show that as much as 95% of online businesses fail. And a major contributing factor to that unsettling statistic is undoubtedly the failure to set a realistic plan in motion.

And the only folks making any money are the ones who come up with the new programs and products and the ones who send out the urgent messages to their list members.

And we wonder why the failure rate is so high. It shouldn't surprise anyone that the overwhelming majority of folks trying to do business online quit without earning enough money to buy a large pizza in the frozen food section at their local grocery store.

Now, here is some soulution I can provide for you:-

• Do the math. You only have so much money and so much time to invest.Where will it be? If someone is bombarding you with new programs to join and new products to buy every single day, then unsubscribe and find someone else to teach you the ropes. You can't join and buy them all. I don't know about your financial situation, but I do know that every single one of us is only allotted 24 hours a day. You can't effectively do everything.

• Get a Plan. I don't care if you join my program or your buddy's program ornobody's program -- just decide what you want to do. Make a decision. Form agameplan. Where do you want to go? How much do you want to earn? How can you do it? Find someone who is willing to invest THEIR time in YOU. Now there's a plan. How many of these folks bombarding you with their offers are actually available to answer your questions and guide you along the way and mentor you? And how many cut you loose once they have your money. Find a mentor. Find someone who is willing to invest in YOU before you invest in them.

• Stick to it. Please, please, please -- don't jump on the bandwagons as they come passing by. I promise you there will be more bandwagons. There will be new programs and products coming your way every day. Resist the temptation to continue going from one to the next. You'll never get any momentum at all if you quit one thing to start the next. All you'll do is waste time and money. You've got your plan -- you may have to modify if from time to time, and even add to it -- but stick to it. Do you realize that EVERY TIME you quit one thing to begin the next that you have WASTED your time and money that you spent on the previous one?

Earning an income online isn't difficult -- but it can be confusing if you don't follow these three simple rules. There are times that I have to simply tell myself "no" when a new offer comes by -- and I just stick to my plan. I know where I'm going and I'm not going to be derailed by the latest and greatest to come down the pike.

Authoring High Quality Content For Your Website or Blog

Why Should a Search Engine Rank Your Site Above all the Others in its Field?

If you cannot answer this question clearly and precisely, the task of ranking higher will be exponentially more difficult. Search engines attempt to rank the very best sites with the most relevant content first in their results, and until your site's content is the best in its field, you will always struggle against the engines rather than bringing them to your doorstep.

It is in content quality that a site's true potential shows through, and although search engines cannot measure the likelihood that users will enjoy a site, the vote via links system operates as a proxy for identifying the best content in a market. With great content, therefore, come great links and, ultimately, high rankings. Deliver the content that users need, and the search engines will reward your site.

Content quality, however, like professional design, is not always dictated by strict rules and guidelines. What passes for "best of class" in one sector may be below average in another market. The competitiveness and interests of your peers and competitors in a space often determine what kind of content is necessary to rank. Despite these variances, however, several guidelines can be almost universally applied to produce content that is worthy of attention:

• Research Your Field - Get out into the forums, blogs and communities where folks in your industry spend their online discussion time. Note the most frequently asked questions, the most up-to-date topics and the posts or headlines that generate the most interest. Apply this knowledge when you create high quality content and directly address your market's needs. If 10,000 people in the botany field are seeking articles that contain more illustrated diagrams instead of just photos, delivering that piece can set your content (and your site) apart from the competition.

• Consult and Publish in Partnership with Industry Experts - In any industry, there will be high-level, publically prominent experts as well as a second tier of "well-known in web circles" folks. Targeting either of these groups for collaborative efforts in publishing articles, reviewing your work or contributing (even via a few small quotes) can be immensely valuable. In this manner, you can be assured that your content is both link and visitor-worthy. In addition, when partnering with "experts", exposure methods are built-in, creating natural promotion angles.

• Create Documents that Can Serve as One-Stop Resources - If you can provide a single article or resource that provides every aspect of what a potential visitor or searcher might be seeking, your chances for success in SEO go up. An "all-in-one" resource can provide more opportunities than a single subject resource in many cases. Don't be too broad as you attempt to execute this kind of content creation - it's still important to keep a narrow focus when you create your piece. The best balance can be found by putting yourself in the potential users' shoes - if your piece fits their needs and covers every side of their possible interests, while remaining "on-message," you're ready to proceed.

• Provide Unique Information - Make sure that when you design your content outline, you include data and information that can be found nowhere else. While collecting and amalgamating information across the web can create good content, it is the unique elements in your work that will be noticed and recommended.

• Serve Important Content in a Non-Commercial Format - Creating a document format that is non-commercial is of exceptional importance for attracting links and attention. The communities of web and content builders is particularly attuned to the commercialization of the web and will consciously and sub-consciously link to and recommend resources that don't serve prominent or interfering advertising. If you must post ads, do so as subtlety and unobtrusively as possible.

• One Great Page is Worth a Thousand Good Pages - While hundreds or dozens of on-topic pages that cover sections of an industry are valuable to a website's growth, it is actually far better to invest a significant amount of time and energy producing a few articles/resources of truly exceptional quality. To create documents that become "industry standard" on the web and are pointed to time after time as the "source" for further investigations, claims, documents, etc. is to truly succeed in the rankings battle. The value of "owning" this traffic and link source far outweighs a myriad of articles that are rarely read or linked to.

High quality content is the the best SEO techniques. Quality content drive more traffic to your page and keep them coming back because your site provide useful, consistent and relevant content for them.

Web Promotion - 10 Promotional Tools

Website promotion is the process of publicizing the website. This post will be limited to promotional activities to internet advertising only. Web promotion consists of submitting the website URL to a number of major search engines and directories.

The Big 10 Promotional Tools

The following list is a great way to start promoting your website. These consist of free submission tools that enable business owners to submit their website URLs automatically to large number of search engines, directories, lists etc. I highly recommend doing manual submissions to the 12 most popular search engines.

1. SELF-PROMOTION - This is the best place to start promoting your site. And best of all it is free to use. Self-promotion allows you to promote your site to over 400 different search engines, indexes, business directories, international indexes, directories and awards.
   
2. JIM TOOLS - This is another free utility that promotes your site to 400 search engines and indexes and over 200 Free-For-All (FFA) links pages. Do not use Self-Promotion and Jim Tools in the same week since many of the search engines and indices are same. Compared to Self-Promotion, Jim Tools takes a lot less time to submit to 400 search engines and indexes.
   
3. ASSOCIATE-IT FREE SUBMIT - This free utility lets you submit all the pages in your site at one time to 24 major search engines. All the submissions are done in real time; you can watch the submission results as they happen. Depending on the speed of your internet connection and the number of different pages you are submitting, this may take anywhere between three minutes to a few hours. The good thing is that you can start the submission and then surf the Net as usual in a different browser window.
4. THE PROMOTER - This is similar to Associate-it Free Submit, but it will submit multiple URLs to 800 search engines, indices, FFA pages, classifieds, etc. at one time. This works much like Associate-it Free Submit. You can start the submission and then browse the Net in a different window. The Promoter also notifies you when it’s time to resubmit your site.
5. ANNOUNCE IT AMERICA - One more free utility that submits multiple URLs to 300 search engines, indices, FFA links, classifieds, etc. at one time. This works like Associate-it Free Submit and The Promoter. You can start the submission and then surf the Net in a different browser window.
6. OPEN DIRECTORY - Recently, when Netscape purchased NewHoo, the Open Directory, I was quick to submit my site to be included. The only complaint I have with the Open Directory Project is that the editor in the category you are trying to submit your site to may be your competitor and may try to list your site lower in the list. But you can submit your site to three or four different categories if it belongs. Recently, Lycos and HotBot adopted the Open Directory, and Altavista is adopting it soon, so getting listed with the Open Directory may bring you a lot of traffic.
7. DIRECT HIT - A lot of search engines like HotBot, MSN and others have recently adopted the Direct Hit search technology. Getting listed with Direct Hit may also bring in considerable amount of traffic, but your site has to be somewhat popular.
   
8. GOTO.COM - Even though it is not free, GoTo.com can bring targeted traffic to your site at a low cost. To get listed with GoTo.com you have to open an account with a minimum of $25, then bid on keywords that you would like to target. The minimum bid for each keyword is $0.01. I would recommend bidding $0.01 on 500-1000 keywords related to your site. You can bid high on 5-10 keywords that are really important to your site and bid $0.01 on others. To generate 500-1000 keywords related to your site, use Jim Tools keyword generator at. If you type in two or three keywords related to your site, the keyword generator searches the web for similar sites and compiles list of keywords by reading their Meta tags. Usually, if you bid on 1000 keywords, you will get between 75-100 hits a day.
   
9. YAHOO! - Even though getting listed on Yahoo is a pain and it may take up to six months, most sites get the majority of their traffic from Yahoo! Also try submitting to Yahoo! Local or International, if your site fits. If you submitted your site to Yahoo!, and nothing happened for four or five weeks, try submitting again in the same category, or maybe in a different category. You can get good tips on how to get listed on Yahoo! at search engine forums at http://www.searchengineforums.com. Do what ever you have to do, but get listed on Yahoo!
   
10. PRWEB - Press releases are one of the most effective ways to generate traffic to your site. If written well, they can be very effective. Over 90 percent of press releases are sent out by the companies or sites trying to generate traffic or publicity. Write a press release and distribute it free of cost using Prweb.

Social Media Marketing Optimization Techniques

Social media, as the name suggests is a kind of a communication tool. It is an aggregation of online sites that are created by people who are interested in the exchange of views among a wide circle of individuals. It also goes by the name of Web2.0. It also means the same thing - this is a pedestal where people want toknow as much about you as they are willing to share about themselves.

Social media other interesting attributes includes:-

• Social media is a veritable research tool.As stated earlier, social media are great interaction junctions where onecan learn about what people are excited about and what events are causing ripples in the societal circle. It can be about anything -- a happening restaurant that just opened, or an interesting tourist spot that someone is just back from visiting, or a controversial issue that is to affectall the major stock exchanges of the world - absolutely anything.

• Social media can be an effective vehicle for pulling web traffic to ones’site.The main idea of a social media is to let people know of the services you have for them and in the process, identify the mass of people who really need what you have. Social bookmarking tools, social profile sites, social video sites are just some of the cardinal outlets that can draw massive traffic to your site, if you simply leave your weblinks with them. This assists in the exposition of your brand by establishing reciprocate links toyour site and improves your position in the search engine results.

• Social media used as a tool for the diversification of the audience base. Once you have spread your message and your customers start flowing in,you now need to figure out how to sustain them, so that they can persuade other prospective customers to visit your website. This way you are expanding into a wider stretch of the customer base that would have probably been a problem to acquire otherwise.

Social Media OptimizationTechniques

Social media optimization is a system in which by using the attributes of search engine optimizations your web site is optimized amongst the most happening online communities. This can either be done by strewing links all across the community website to facilitate backlinking or by strengthening the interaction podium by writing numerous blogs and constantly updating their content. This will serve to recreate interest in your blogs amongst your regular visitors and have them coming back for more; though with additional company.This therefore is a more effective method of drawing traffic to your website.

So by now it is clear that if you have to popularize your brand you need to popularize your website. The guidelines below will simply help you a little in that endeavor.

• Join a social media platform, for example---Digg, Delicious, twitter, facebook orTechnorati. Besides the obvious advantage that your website will be looked up as a very ‘in-thing’ it will also improve the ranking and stature of your page in the tech community.
• Tag your article in the correct way to increase visibility. Don’t be stupid enough,to tag an article as Acne when it deals with the more specific issue of acne scars.Make your voice heard and opinion counted, by the tactful use of tagging.
• Focus on quantity as much as you would on quality. Keep on adding articles and white pages so that you give your visitors more than enough to chew on. If you do not update your website regularly they will soon lose interest to visit your site in the long run. This tactic therefore assists in adding to the link ability of your website.
• The most significant requirement is to provide for methods that simplify ‘tagging’and ‘bookmarking’ for your customers. This can be done if you provide easy quick buttons or ‘add to del.icio.us’. Allow for tag lists and notes for links to cumulate visibility.
• Reward the incoming links as a sort of inducement to make them come back for more. This will not only bring in the existing customers but also pull in more traffic, who would want to get rewarded as well.
• Offer downloadable files from your website in the forms of downloadable pdf. files,audio and video files and make them available to your customer either for free orat a negligible cost. An additional propaganda mechanism can be by sending their copies to various other websites.

Social media optimization has immense potential of escalating the ranking of your website to great heights. So I hope by now you’re convinced of the power of social media marketing and also what’s it and how it works. If you’re determined to make it big this 2009, you must make full use of social media optimization. Some popular social media network are Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Myspace, linkedin, Squidoo and podcasts .

1. Here are some ways your business can profit from Twitter:
   Find local people you can network with or find local events to meet local customers. Use the search feature (www.search.twitter.com) to find people who are near you, then follow them. Many times they will follow you back (and be sure to thank them when they do).
2. Get great quality traffic by sending messages ("tweets") that are meaningful and helpful. Twitter users come from many walks of life and income levels, so build a relationship with them to get the best results.
3. Remember the old saying, "It's not what you know but who you know that counts"? That is true on Twitter, as well. If you need a favor, send out a tweet - you never know who can help (or who knows someone who can help).
4. Know the power of the "re-tweet," which is what it is called when someone takes a message ("tweet") you send and then sends it to their followers. It is sort of like the way a forwarded email works. Send a quality tweet to your followers and see how it gets passed along to others.
5. Use the search feature to find like-minded people across the world. Use it to find people who may not possess the same talents as you, but complement your talents.

Twitter is an excellent tool for building your online business. If it is used properly, it is a free asset to your Internet marketing plan.

Add to above, here are 7 Twitter tools that will make your twittering faster, better and more profitable:

1. Grouptweet.com: Do you have a team of people who are all on Twitter, but you don't want the info you tweet to be sent out for all to see? Grouptweet.com lets you send a tweet to a select group of people and keeps it from prying eyes.
2. Twittermoms.com: This site lets you connect with thousands of moms on Twitter. This is great if you are a mom, but it can also be great if you have a product or service that benefits moms (but just make sure your Tweets aren't spammy, or you will quickly get the boot).

7. Twitturly.com: This tool lets you keep track of what URL's are talked about on Twitter.

These tools can help you bring your business to the next level by keeping you informed, connected and up-to-date.

Now we come to the interesting part. So how to Make Easy Twitter Cash?

Twitter is a fantastic networking tool, but one downside is that tweets are limited to only 140 characters. This is really bad news when you have a long URL in your tweet. Long URLs can use up half of your tweet space - and maybe more. (Have you seen some URLs from Google maps? You need 2 tweets just for that! Scary!)

So how does this translate to making easy Twitter cash? Most people use a URL-shortening service such as tinyurl.com to overcome this handicap, but now there is a way to shorten the URL and make money. It's called adjix.com.

When you use Adjix to shorten a URL, the person who clicks on the shortened version sees ads while waiting for the site to load, and you get paid for it. Called PPC, or pay-per-click advertising, it is a common way for free services to make money from their service.

What Niche Products You Should Be Selling

I’ve been researching niches for quite some time now – I’ve noticed that there are some niche categories that are perfectly suited for information products. I'm glad to share it with you.They fall into these broad subjects:

• Make Money From Home Niche – People say that this is becoming a crowded place. Don’t believe them, this industry is growing from strength to strength as more and more people venture online to earn extra cash. Given that not nearly the world’s population is online YET, the scope to teach others high quality ways of making money using the internet will vastly increase over time. Teach people a convenient and proven way of making additional income streams and you can bet that product will sell very well. Would you like an example? Not many people know the potential behind selling popular music/concert/sports tickets at huge mark-ups. By knowing a few simple tricks you can get hold of popular tickets that are sure to sell out before the event. Then you simply put these tickets in front of millions of ebay buyers and watch the bids accumulate. If you could teach people how to do this for themselves, do you think they would be interested in buying that information from you? Of course they would.

• Relationships, Online Dating & Prosperity Niches – Like the "make money" niche, people want information on how to make their lives happier. There are several niches inside this broad category and we’ll investigate a few of the opportunities shortly. Do you know that in the Overture search engine alone there are over 780,000 searches for "online dating"? The actual figure for people searching this on the internet would be several multiples of this when you consider that far more people use other engines such as Google. Imagine the potential if you were able to get hold of powerful resale rights products in these niches.

• Weight Loss, Health & Fitness Niches – Again, a basic theme that almost all human beings have a vested interest in. People want to look and feel good – they will pay for premium information on how to lose weight, eat healthily and how to generally look and feel good. With high quality niche products you will have the ability to target literally several millions of people who have a considerable desire for the product you’re offering. For example, literally millions of people are interested in childcare and pregnancy topics.

• Recipe, Food & Drink Niches – Food is BIG business. People want to know how to cook delicious food. Wander into any book store and you'll see scores of recipe books - food books have always been good sellers.

The above are just some of the proven niches that are out there. The fact is that you can potentially target anything that has a relatively high appeal where there is useful information that can be packaged into a digital product. It would be impossible to provide you with every single potentially profitable niche market because there are simply too many.

How To Get Out Of Financial Mess

There are two methods I can recommend about getting out of a financial mess.

Defensive Strategies
The first one is defensive:
Cut down what you are already spending on. You can’t start a business being in a financial mess. Cash Flow is more important than revenue. And you need to have lots of cash flow coming from your pockets if you are going to succeed.

• Here are some things you can cut down on
• Smoking – if you can’t quit, just cut down on a few sticks
• Alcohol – booze can drain your finances faster than a running tap
• Night outs – spend some nights at home thinking about making more money
• Gambling – if you plan to gamble, it is better to gamble in a business
• Vacation and Country Clubs – you won’t die without a few memberships
• Food – eat healthily and you can even think clearer
• Laziness – The biggest thing that will hold you back!

Most important of all, don’t buy anything that constitutes a liability. A liability is anything that takes money out of your pocket no matter what they are worth in the future. Think in terms of cash flow. What can I invest in today that will give me funds tomorrow?

Now let’s move on to offensive strategies:

Offensive Strategies
One of the best, low-cost ways to invest in your business skills is to join a Network Marketing company. There are many other options such as starting a traditional business or maybe even an Online Business. But if you want to guarantee yourself something concrete where business skills are concern, my take is on Network Marketing.

Regardless of what you have heard about this industry or how much money people have lost there, the biggest reason why I would recommend everyone to invest in a network marketing company is because of what you can learn there, and not because of how much money you can make (although it would be fantastic if you can make a living out of it).

You see, network marketing companies are the one place where people will share their trade secrets FREELY. It is logical because in order for your upline to succeed, they will want you to succeed as well! Therefore, they will not hold back in teaching you the skills of a business person.

Furthermore, the relatively low cost of investing in a network marketing company will amaze you for what you can learn for the price you are paying (a few bottles of vitamins and a business kit for the experience of a lifetime!) They will patiently train you in the attitudes and business skills you need to succeed in this industry.

Basically, you can’t succeed in network marketing with an employee’s mindset. A network marketing company will train you in sales, communication, teamwork, leadership, positive thinking, self-improvement, time and money investment as well as the support of your upline as a personal coach and mentor. I dare say that even if you didn’t make a cent, but diligently went through their program, the skills you develop will last a lifetime.

You can also develop skills by attaching yourself to an insurance agency. The job may be challenging, but those companies will also teach you the same skills above and maybe even gain a few tips on financial planning as well.

How about an Internet business? If you have the aptitude for computers, Internet businesses offer a low cost, high-profit margin business that can earn a lot of money and tap into a worldwide market.

Other places you can learn about business skills can be found at financial planning courses, real estate investment courses, time management courses and lots more. All these I have suggested will be the safest way you can start a new business. You are only spending a few hundred to a thousand dollars in start-up and education. A traditional business might be too risky for someone without any business experience.

You invest tens of thousands of dollars and you might struggle trying to break even. But once you have developed the skills above, you will have a higher chance of succeeding. The most important thing of all besides a good learning attitude are the people you mix around with. It has been said before; you are the sum of the five people you spend the most time with!

This is very hard to swallow but imagine if you start talking to your five beer drinking, poker buddies that you want to go out on your own and make a fortune, what would they tell you? They would laugh their socks off before tearing your ego into a million pieces! At the heart of man lies jealousy. They don’t want to see the people around them succeed. If you succeed, it makes them look bad. They know in their hearts that they are going no where yet they embrace that lifestyle and pull you down with them. They will steal your dream, and rob you of your financial freedom if you are not careful!

The key point to remember is: Only mix with Positive thinking people!

Positive thinking is not wishful thinking. A wishful thinker is a dreamer who doesn’t take action. Positive thinking is backed by action and you will feel the energy of people who believe in you and support your dreams.

If you hang out with ducks, you will quack… but if you hang out with eagles, you will soar! So start looking for people who will follow your vision or are willing to grow together with you.

Lastly, you must BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!
The task of stepping out of your comfort zone may seem terrifying and many will not support your dream. They may even go on the offensive even if you don’t share your dream. That person may even be your parents or your spouse.

Then you will be faced with the question, is my financial freedom worth the price I am paying now? Can I live another day with the same routine, the same job, the same paycheck or the same drudgery? If the answer is no, then take action NOW. Not tomorrow, you will wake up and forget about your dream.

Write down your desire on a piece of paper and hang on tight to it everyday. Share it with someone positive and take that first step.

You won’t regret it.
