One great way to drive tons of traffic to your website is to use Google AdWords. What, you will lose your pants and go broke? No, not at all if you know how to do it correctly. If done correctly, it can be a great cost effective tool to advertise with.
Did you know that you can set a daily budget amount in google adword and set the end date? This is a great security feature that allows you to control your campaign. If you only have a budget of $100, you can tell it that you want to run your ad for 10 days at $10 a day budget. Once you reach your daily budget, your ad stops running. That sounds like control on my part to me.
What, you say using AdWords is hard. Not at all. Did you know that you have access to a live support person if you need help while setting up your Google campaign? Trust me, you will not be doing it all by yourself if you do not want to.
Let’s think about this for a minute. Once your ad is placed, you have the ability to monitor your campaign 24/7 to see what is working and what is not. You will have the ability to check your stats to see which keywords are working and what keywords are not in real-time. Not only is Google AdWords a great place to post ads, it is also a great place to test your ads. Now you can take your tested ad and use it in other marketing tools. You know that people are clicking on your ad because you seen it in your stats.
Here is a tip. Let’s say you are promoting a program that has many competitors. You can use a technique called shadowing. Basically, you post your add in Google AdWords and input keywords that people are using to look for your competitor. If a heavy hitter is into that new program, put his name in as a keyword. When people search for his/her name, your ad will show up.
In all honesty, you are going to have to take action and try it. The best Google AdWords internet expert can teach you all day long, but you will not gain much until you take action and see for yourself. Trust me, you will learn a great deal when you have the ability to learn your stats in your google campaign and see it live.
To you success.

There are many ways to drive traffic to your website. Most GURU’s want you to believe that these “ways” are secrets - THEY ARE NOT SECRETS.
I am going to tick the GURU’s off and tell you about one of these so called secrets. The secret is called “Article Marketing” This is a process of you writing rich content articles. These articles are Google, Yahoo, and MSN like to look for. By doing this, you gain exposure from people reading your articles. You become the niche expert now. Also, your PR ranking in Google will increase.
The following article directories are favored by the Google search engine, ezinearticles, squidoo, buzzle articles, and searchwarp. Submit your articles to these directories, as well as other high ranking PR directories, for more credibility.
You should be allowed to place a link back to your site in the resource box. If you want to SEO your article for a particular keyword and have it rank higher in Google, do not use a generic link, use a hyper link with the keyword you are trying to target. For example, if your business focuses on selling marketing tips, then you would hyper link your site in the resource box using that keyword, “marketing tips.” Google recognizes this as anchor text and tends to rank your website higher for that particular keyword.
Try and write articles at least two times a week ans submit them to the correct directories. When you tend to give something away with value, you tend to get things back.
To your success.

The answer to this question is a definite YES. You have probably heard it before. The money is in the list. Well, in order to obtain your list, you must build one. Why? You need to get to know you list, so it should be your own, so you can sell to them later. Who else are you going to sell to?
Here is how your online marketing should be set up in a nutshell. You need to market hard to get leads (qualifying customers) to your lead capture page.
This is where your autoresponder comes into play. on your lead capture page, you will insert a script that ask your leads to input their name and email address at the least.
Most people do not buy right then and there. You will need to follow up with them minimum 7 times. Your autoresponder will handle that, once you set it up.
One of my recommendations is Aweber, hands down. The cost is $19.95 per month ($19.95/mo for 10,000 subscribers, plus $9.95/mo for extra 10,000)
Do not worry, you will not be paying for the extra $9.95/mo for extra 10,000. When you do get that much subscribers, I do not think you will mind paying an extra $9.95/mo.
My other recommendation is GetResponse. They are a little cheaper than Aweber. The cost is $17.95 per month ($17.95/mo for 10,000 subscribers, plus $4.50/mo for extra 5,000). Once again, you will not be paying for the extra $4.50/mo.
When selecting an autoresponder, you want to know how well they deliver their messages. Aweber and GetResponse (will discuss this below) deliver above 80% of your messages. That is great with all the spam going around today.
As far as features are concern, Aweber and GetResponse are loaded. They have everything you need to run your email campaigns
How quickly do the respond to your email queries?
Aweber and GetResponse are reported to respond to “trouble tickets” in 4 to 6 hours.

One of the first challenges that most people face when they decide to make money online. Do you need a website? A lot of marketers will tell you, “No” you don’t need a website in order to be successful online. And they’re right to a certain extent, because there are various ways to make money without a website. HOWEVER, most of those guys are probably trying to sell you some program, and they just don’t want you to be inhibited from buying it… In my opinion, you will be at a severe disadvantage if you don’t have your own website.
