Are you making as much money as you hoped on the Internet? Are you making any money at all? If you answered no to either of these questions, I’ll bet that you do not have your own product. In order to make real money on the Internet, you need to have your own product.
I know what you are thinking. What about affiliate sales? Yes, some people make money as affiliates, but most people make very little. I know because I have affiliates selling my products. Out of one hundred affiliates selling a particular product, only four or five make significant money. The remaining ninety-five affiliates just make an occasional sale here and there.
If you still don’t believe that you need your own product, look at the Internet super-stars, the guru’s. They are not selling my products; they’re selling their own products. If you want to be really successful in this, or any business, do what the super-stars do. Not only do they have their own products, they setup affiliate programs and allow others to sell their products.
Find something that you are good at and develop your own product. If you don’t feel that you are capable of making your own product, you can get somebody else to do it. There are ways that you can get others to develop a product for you, and have it done absolutely free.
It is best to develop digital products, like ebooks. Ebooks can be set up so that the entire procedure is automatic. You can automate the sales process, payment collection, product delivery, and the distribution of receipts. Your only job is to get buyers to the sales page and collect the money. I like the second part best.
In addition, you can develop your own affiliate program and make money when they sell your product. Of course, only four to five percent of your affiliates will make significant amounts of money. But, if they make significant money, so do you!
So get off the sofa and do something. Get over to that computer, develop your ebook, and make some money!

10 Steps to Achieve Internet Success
Earning money on the Internet is a lot more challenging today than it was a few years ago. The most efficient method of generating sales has always been to develop a large list of clients/subscribers and sell to the list. Make it worth their while to join your list, contact them often, take care of them, and offer them quality products that meet their needs when appropriate. If you started your Internet business five years ago, you probably built up a large list of subscribers rather quickly. Today it takes considerably longer to develop a list of any size.
There are a number of reasons for this. Number one among them is competition. There are over 2 billion websites in existence now and a large percentage of them are trying to sell the same products that you are selling. With so many sellers crowding the marketplace, the pie is a bit smaller for each of us.
I hear many experts recommending that you should sell the product with the highest commission. I disagree. You should sell the product that does the best job for your subscribers, regardless of the commission. By offering the highest quality products, your subscribers will know that you recommend only the finest products and will remain on your list for a very long time. In general, the longer they remain with you, the more they will buy. If you repeatedly offer them high priced crap, they will quickly unsubscribe. My attitude has always been, I’ll take care of my subscribers and the commissions will take care of themselves.
The price of the item you are selling is also a factor. If you sell a ten-dollar item, you might generate fifty sales for each one thousand people that view your product. If you are selling a five hundred dollar item you might generate just one or two sales per one thousand page views. This is also something you should consider if you are deciding on which affiliate products to sell.
In any business, there are a few individuals that excel to super star levels and make millions upon millions of dollars. And likewise, there are some who struggle for years and make little if any money at all. The rest of us are somewhere in the middle ground between the two. Regardless of what business you are in, you should try to emulate the super stars. Try to do what they do. I’m not saying that you will immediately vault up to super star status, but your results will almost certainly improve.
Some of the characteristics of the Internet super stars are as follows:
1) They keep meticulous records. They track all results and do more of the stuff that is working and eliminate the stuff that isn’t. It’s important to know what you are doing right.
2) They are not afraid to spend money and reinvest a portion of their profits back into their business. They have no problem buying advertising, domain names, good hosting, software, and information. You’ve got to spend money in order to make it.
3) They are diversified and participate in more than one niche. If an opportunity presents itself, they can swiftly change gears and exploit an additional area.
4) They pay talented people to take care of the details on their numerous websites. They pay others to take care of the more mundane day-to-day issues. This frees up their time to work on items that they believe to be more important, like developing new products.
5) They stay in constant touch with the people on their list. They act as a trusted adviser who wouldn’t steer subscribers wrong. They do not pitch every new product that comes down the pike.
6) They nurture their list; it is their most valuable asset. They work daily on activities to continually expand it.
7) They develop and sell their own products. When appropriate, they allow others to sell them on an affiliate basis.
8) They take advantage of every possible method in monetizing the Internet and their websites. They use all types of advertising and any other sources available.
9) They continually work to build traffic to their websites. Expanding traffic today equals a growing income tomorrow.
10) They work (or did work) long hard hours to get their websites and income to the current levels.
By working daily toward these goals, you too have an opportunity to grow your Internet business. For the most part, those who have achieved the most success have done it by working the hardest. So imitate the superstars and someday, people new in the business may try to imitate you.
There is, however, one over-riding theme among all Internet experts. The best way to achieve success on the Internet is to develop your own product. Most of the Internet Gurus make their Internet millions in this manner. When deciding on products to sell, copy the techniques of those who are most successful. Develop your own product. That way, no one is selling it but you and your affiliates, so you control the amount of competition. You make 100% of the profit on your sales along with a nice percentage on your affiliates’ sales. And, you can determine your own selling price. All in all, it is a very compelling proposition to develop your own product.

Submit Your Articles to the Right Sites for Success - Part 2
In my first installment, I offered a listing of the twelve largest submission sites. I’m rounding out the list with a bakers dozen of large sites. Using my prior article along with the sites shown below, you now have a list of the twenty-five largest submission sites.
When submitting articles, you should look for two criteria. First, you should seek out sites related to your niche. This is vitally important. Most of the viewers on these specialized niche sites are interested in the topic that you are writing about. As such, they are much more inclined to want to read your articles and click on your links. If your niche is about beach life, those who frequent the site would not be very interested in an article on using whale blubber. However, the Eskimo niche would be very interested (all three of them would probably click on your link). Choosing a targeted niche site can make all the difference to your article success.
The second most important criteria is the size and popularity of the site where you submit your articles. If you submit an article to a site that is frequented by very few people, then very few people will see your article. By submitting to larger, more important sites, your article has an opportunity to be viewed by many more readers. I use Google’s PageRank and Alexa to rank my submission sites.
Google’s PageRank measures the relative importance of a site on a scale from 0 – 10. Ten is the most important site and zero is the least important. When seeking out submission sites, look for those with the highest Google PageRank.
Alexa measures the relative size of a site. If a site has an Alexa rating of 10,000, that means that there are 10,000 larger sites on the Internet. (Keep in mind that there are over 2 billion sites on the Internet now.) The lower the Alexa rating, the bigger the site. Seek out those sites with relatively low Alexa ratings.
Following is a list of sites along with their Google PageRank and Alexa ratings. Please keep in mind that these ratings change regularly. FYI- I submit each of my articles to about 60 sites.

Persuasive Words – Powerful Sales Tool
When you browse among a number of sale items, most people will choose the product that makes them feel the best. The key word is FEEL. Whether you realize it or not, making a purchase is an emotional activity. The way you feel is an emotional response. A few examples of the emotional responses are: happy, sad, cozy, secure, etc.
You bought that super-sized TV because it makes you happy. Sitting on that sofa is so comfortable and cozy. The car you are considering will impress the neighbors. People buy things to satisfy their emotional needs.
Some words or phrases cater to these emotional needs more than others. Use these emotional trigger words in your titles, ads, emails, and sales pages to encourage people to buy. As proof, from which ad below would you prefer to purchase:
Ad 1) Sale, sale, sale! Free bonus – today only! New Item-XYZ Bird Feeder! Limited supply-Order today and get FREE Birdseed! Easy Low Payment, Free shipping, Fast delivery! Your complete Satisfaction Guaranteed or your money back – no questions asked!
Ad 2) Bird Feeder and birdseed – no charge to ship.
Both of these ads are selling the same thing. But, if you were like most people, you would prefer to buy from ad number 1. In that ad, all of the key words in the list below are used. Try using some of these words in your ads, sales pages, and emails and watch your sales increase!
1. Use the word "free" in your ad. Everybody likes a free incentive to do business with you. Offer free ebooks, downloads, reports, etc.
2. Use the word "guaranteed". It is reassuring to know that they are not risking their money buying a product that they won't like. They like to have some recourse if they are not happy.
3. Use the word "new" in your ad. People want new products or services that will improve their life.
4. Use the word "limited" in your ad. People want to have items that are exclusive. Rare products have a higher perceived value.
Please excuse me now; I have to finish up here. You see, I saw this ad for one of those new XYZ Birdfeeders that I’ve just GOT to have…

How to Start Making Money on the Internet
Like everyone else, I struggled in the beginning as I stated my Internet business. After two months, I still hadn’t made any real money. During that time, I think I made less than $2.00 in Adsense revenue. Hardly enough to live on!
At about that time I did a thorough analysis of my Internet business. I closely examined what I was doing and what I needed to change in order to be successful. After a thorough assessment, I put those changes into effect.
I got rid of my free autoresponder and signed up for the paid version. Too many of my emails were ending up in my prospects’ junk/bulk email boxes. This led to an immediate improvement in my email response rates. Obviously, my emails were now getting through to inboxes.
I bought a domain name and arranged for quality hosting. This resulted in an immediate improvement in the number of clicks that my articles were achieving.
I initiated a few pre-sell pages and noticed my affiliate sales began to inch higher. But still, I wasn’t earning a substantial amount of money.
I determined that I needed one more critical item to jump-start my income. I needed my own product. Over the course of the next month, I developed my own Ebook, sales page, and ad campaign. I advertised my Ebook using four paid ads (at ten dollars each), free ezine ads, and my articles.
During my first full month marketing my own product, I made almost $400. I re-invested half of the proceeds into additional ads and I made $1,200 in my second full month.
At that point, I realized that I could indeed make a very nice living on the Internet marketing my own products. I immediately set to work on my second Ebook and from that point, my income moved steadily higher.
If you want to be successful, and make a living on the Internet, develop our own product. There are numerous advantages to having your own product. You are in complete control. You receive 100% of the proceeds of your sales. You determine the price and can change it at will. And, best of all, you can enlist others to help sell your product through affiliate programs. Success is right around the corner if you develop your own product.
If you are ready to turn that corner of success, you can develop your own product with "Create Your Own Ebook in 3 Easy Steps". This PDF makes it very easy develop your own product, even if you have no experience! Success is right around the corner! Get the details at http://www.milliondollararticle.com/ezebook.html

The Two Secrets to Achieve Writing Success
People always ask me for the one or two secrets to achieving success in marketing articles for income. Secret number 1, write. Secret number two, submit. That’s pretty much it. Of course there are many details that you need along the way: a properly constructed Resource Box, a great title, and a few other details. But, you need to write and submit.
Some days, I’ll write just one or two articles and I’ll submit them to my entire list of article submission sites, about 150. When I feel more energetic, I write four to five articles and submit them to a list of about sixty sites. On days when I'm really pumped up, I’ll crank out ten or more articles and submit them to my top 10 sites. I’d like to submit them to more sites, but I just don’t have the time when submitting that many articles.
It takes two or three hours to submit an article to my large 150 site list. I can submit to my 60 site list in about forty minutes. And I can submit an article to the short 10 site list in about ten or twelve minutes.
If you submit an article to 60 sites, you can expect to receive between 100 and 200 links over a six-month period. I’m quite happy with that. That’s one of the reasons that I write articles. The other reason is that I’m rather fond of money. I always have been, and I expect I always will be.
The people that ask me about the secret of success are what I call casual writers. They've written less than ten articles and submitted each one to just a few sites. They can’t believe that they didn’t make any money and they haven't witnessed increased traffic. In their mind, article marketing doesn’t work.
To be really successful writing articles, I’m talking about 6 figure successful, you need to write about 1000 articles per year. That’s three a day, every day!
I run my article business according to an old saying: “Work for a while like nobody will, live the rest of your life like nobody can!”
So get to work, write a few articles!
To live your life like nobody can, start writing. Better yet, Create Your Own Ebook. We show you how in 3 Easy Steps. For details, go to http://www.milliondollararticle.com/ezebook.html

Outsmarting Google Part 1 of 3
As you excitedly added your first Google Adsense code to your website, how many of you thought, “How can I beat the system?” A fair number I bet. But the fact of the matter is, you can’t.
With Google’s massive computing power and the best minds in the business, it is practically impossible to beat Google in the long term. Sure, there are those who call their cousin Jill and ask her to click on an ad or two. And some people will try to cheat the system and click on a few ads from their computer at work. This may work over the short term, but Google will discover it and disable your account long before you make any serious money.
If Google detects unusual Adsense clicking activity regarding your account, they will not normally disable your account immediately (although they can). In most cases, your account will initially be flagged. If your account is flagged, it means that Google will keep a close eye on things. Sometimes, they send you a warning letter, informing you that they are looking into suspicious activity. On other occasions, you get nothing. If the suspicious activity continues, your account will be terminated and banned from using the Adsense program in the future.
Google uses a number of techniques to determine suspicious activity and invalid clicks. Following, is a list of just some of those methods:
1) Your computer’s IP address is similar to the street address where you live. It uniquely identifies a computer or other network device that is connected to the Internet. When you sign up for your Adsense account, Google logs the IP address of your computer. During the course of business, Google collects the IP address from each ad as it is clicked on your site. If the IP address matches the one from your initial Adsense sign-up, your account is flagged.
2) I can hear many of you thinking now, “Ah-ha! If I disconnect my computer from the Internet and re-connect it, I’ll get a new IP address.” Forget it, it won’t work. Google places cookies on your computer. These cookies can be traced to determine whether ad clicks originated from the same computer as your initial sign-up.
3) Google has done extensive research regarding the average number of ads clicked versus the total number of visitors on a site. This is called the Click Through Rate. If 100 people visit your site and six of them click on Adsense ads, your Click Through Rate is 6%. The normal click through rate varies between .5% and 10%. If your Click Through rate exceeds 10%, or whatever percentage Google is using today, they will flag your account.
This information was obtained at http://smilemaker.uk.to/google-adsense/adsense-essentials/page2.html . This is an excellent site for facts relating to Google’s Adsense program.
The Google Adsense program is a good advertising medium that can very nicely increase the income your site generates. It is in your best interests to play by the rules. The few extra dollars that you might make by cheating the system is not worth the legitimate income that you stand to lose over the long term. Please keep in mind that the information above is subject to change at any time by Google.

Use Power Words to Maximize Profits
Whether you realize it or not, making a purchase is an emotional activity. When you browse among a number of sale items, most people will choose the product that makes them feel the best. The key word is FEEL. The way you feel is an emotion. A few examples of emotional responses are: happy, sad, cozy, secure, etc.
An item for the home might be purchased because it matches the surroundings perfectly and brightens the room (it makes you feel cheerful). Sitting on that sofa is so comfortable and cozy (secure). The car you are considering will impress the neighbors (proud). People buy things to satisfy their emotional needs.
Some words or phrases cater to these emotional needs more than others. Use these emotional trigger words in your titles, ads, emails, and sales pages to encourage people to buy. As proof, from which ad below would you prefer to purchase:
Ad 1) Sale, sale, sale! Free bonus – today only! Get a brand new XYZ Fishing Rod. Buy today and get our exclusive important fishing guide – Who’s catching What and Where. This handy guide is included Absolutely FREE! Easy Low Payment, Free shipping, Fast delivery! Your complete Satisfaction Guaranteed or your money back – no questions asked!
Ad 2) XYZ Fishing rod with fishing pamphlet – no charge to ship.
Both of these ads are selling the same thing. But, if you were like most people, you would prefer to buy from ad number 1. In that ad, all of the key words in the list below are used. Try using some of these words in your ads, sales pages, and emails and watch your sales increase!
1. Use the word "important" in your ad. People want important information that could change their life.
2. Use the word "guaranteed". It is reassuring to know that they are not risking their money buying a product that they won't like. They like to have some recourse if they are not happy.
3. Use the word "fast". People like immediate gratification and want fast results, fast delivery, fast ordering, etc. We value our time more than our money.
4. Use the word "easy" in your ad. We like things that are not difficult. People like easy methods, easy instructions, easy to use, easy payments, etc.
5. Use the word "free" in your ad. Everybody likes a free incentive to do business with you. Offer free ebooks, downloads, reports, etc.
Please excuse me now; I have to finish up here. You see, I saw an ad for one of those new XYZ Fishing Rods that I’ve just GOT to order…

How to Achieve Financial Internet Success
In every business, a few individuals make millions upon millions of dollars. In addition, another ten percent do unbelievably well. And likewise, there are a few who struggle for years and make little if any money at all. The ten percent above those bottom individuals just barely scrape by earning a pittance. The rest of us are somewhere in the middle.
Whatever your current status, you should try to emulate successful Internet marketers. Make every effort to do what they do. By following in their footsteps, you may not achieve super star status right away, but your financial results will certainly improve.
Some of the characteristics of successful Internet marketers are as follows:
1) They develop and sell their own products. In addition, they allow others to sell their products on an affiliate basis. Having your own product is the biggest factor in becoming a successful Internet marketer. You must have your own products in order to excel. Commit time each day on your own product, I have found that the conversion ratio for my ebooks is considerably higher than the conversion ration for my affiliate sales. With your own product, you can control the price, delivery method, sales page, and other factors that effect sales.
2) They take advantage of every possible method in monetizing the Internet and their websites. They use all types of advertising and any other sources to generate income. Continuing monthly income is a very important income source for successful Internet marketers.
3) They continually work to build traffic to their websites. Expanding traffic today equals a growing income tomorrow. Each day, spend some time on efforts to increase traffic to your website and blogs.
By working hard, you can achieve great success. Of course there is no guarantee that you will reach the status of super success. But most people would probably be happy with a thirty or forty percent increase from their current income levels. By working hard and following the three steps above, you can be well on your way to a successful Internet business. Most Successful Internet marketers have worked very hard to earn they have. Copy the efforts of those successful individuals and someday, people new to the business may try to imitate you.

Making a Million Dollars in Six Months
Do you want to know how to wind up with a million dollars in six months? Start with two million and invest it in the stock market.
Although there are some people that start with nothing and earn a million dollars in six months, the odds of that happening are extremely remote. You would be better served by working hard in your own business toward a goal. If you write, like I do, you might try writing Ebooks. These are popular digital books that are routinely sold and downloaded on the Internet.
If you've written an Ebook, what do you do next? This question haunts many an Ebook writer. But, it is not as overwhelming as you may think. You can ensure your financial future by following the one basic step below. This one technique could put you well on your way toward that million-dollar mark, but probably not in six months.
What is that all-important factor? Let me first ask you what you are doing with the initial profits from your first Ebook? If you are like most people you’ll take that first $100 and use it to celebrate. Most people go out for dinner, perhaps have a few drinks, or maybe take in a movie to celebrate their success. This is the absolute worst thing you can do.
You should be reinvesting those profits. Upgrade your hosting service, buy a (or another) domain name, purchase advertising for your Ebook, or increase the size of your list. By reinvesting the profits into your business, you will be setting the stage to make more money next month.
Basically, if you are making $100 or less each month, you should be reinvesting the entire amount. The reason you are only making $100 per month is because there are some deficiencies in your business. Look for areas that need improvement and fix them. If you using articles to promote your business and you are writing less than one article a day, pay a ghostwriter. If you have less then several thousand subscribers in your list, make improvements there. It will dramatically increase your income in the future.
If you are making $1,000 each month, reinvest one quarter to one half of your profits. By doing this, you can expect to double your monthly income in a relatively short time.
No matter how successful you become, you should continually reinvest a portion of your profits back into the business. That way, you will be setting the stage to make an ever-increasing income. Or, if you prefer, you can maintain a stable income and work less hours. Either way, it is always in your best interests to reinvest a portion of the profits.
And, if you've done everything right, you could be on that road to riches beyond your wildest dreams. I’m not saying that you will earn a million dollars in six months, but, maybe you’ll do it in eight months (wink).

Double Your Ebook Earnings
You’ve written your Ebook but what do you do next? This question haunts many an Ebook writer. But, it is not as overwhelming as you may think. Double or even triple your Ebook earnings by following the steps below.
First of all, you need an attractive, eye-catching title. If there is one factor that can make or break your Ebook, it is the title. A fantastic Ebook, filled with great, new information will not get any readers if it has a dull uninteresting title. You need an intriguing title to generate interest in your Ebook. To find this type of information, you’ve got to do some keyword research. Enter words related to your Ebook and determine how many people have searched on these terms over the last month. There are still several websites that provide this information for free. You can find them by doing a search for “keyword tool” or “free keyword tool”.
You can also find successful titles from article content sites. By doing a search for “submit articles”, you will find many pages of them. Research related articles from the larger websites. Use their search box and type in the keyword related to your Ebook. They will usually show you three lists: most recent articles, most viewed articles, and most published articles. Nearly all ezines provide these types of lists. Look at articles from the most viewed and most published lists. These are the most successful articles in that niche. Of course, you cannot copy a title directly from someone else’s work. That would be plagiarism, which is against the law.
Now that you’ve got the title that will draw them in by the millions, you’ve got to make sure you have a sales page that sells. Don’t try to be fancy and use non-traditional fonts. Use Times New Roman, Arial, or Verdana. Some browsers cannot display some of the more exotic fonts so stick to one of these. Also, use a minimum of colors. The occasional red headline is fine, but, stick to traditional black for the most part. Never include any ads on your sales page. You do not want to distract your viewers from making a purchase.
The final step you need to consider as you release your Ebook is advertising. People must be able to find your Ebook in order to buy it. If this is your first Ebook, start out with advertising that you can do for free. Write and submit at least one article each day. Make sure you design an attractive, compelling resource box to entice viewers to click on your Ebook links. In addition, use free ezine ads. Many ezines will allow you to place a free ad if you become a subscriber. If you are going to join a large number of ezines, or sign up with an ad submission company, use an alternative email address, not your primary one. Create a number of blogs and post new articles daily. At the bottom of each entry you make, provide a link to your new Ebook.
These are just some of the steps required for a successful Ebook launch. But, if you’ve done everything right, you could be on the road to riches beyond your wildest dreams.

Getting an Advantage for Your Articles
Most ezine submission sites provide a clearly defined section to insert the author’s resource information. When I first began writing, it disturbed me when a site did not provide space for my resource information. At first, I submitted my articles to them without any resource information. As I looked at articles from other author’s within these sites, it was obvious that most other authors submitted articles without their resource information.
At first, I considered dropping them from the list of sites that I submitted to. After all, the resource box is my only opportunity to be compensated for the work I did in writing the article.
Then, I had an idea, why not try to submit to these sites by adding my resource information at the bottom of my article. Would they accept this format?
I tried it with several articles and, sure enough, my articles were accepted and published just as I had submitted them. For several months I continued to make regular submissions to these sites with good success.
Then I had another idea. My resource box is almost always designed just like a paid ad. Bold attention grabbing headline, link, etc. What if I designed my resource information to look like part of the article? I would be giving up the attention grabbing feature, but, if someone was interested enough to read down to the bottom, they would probably see my resource information too.
I tried it and carefully tracked my results. Sure enough, these articles were drawing more clicks than articles with traditional resource boxes.
Now, instead of being disturbed when I find an ezine that doesn’t provide a resource box, I’m quite happy about it. In fact, I actively seek out those sites.
So, the next time you come across a site with no resource box, make sure that you submit your resource information at the bottom of your piece. In fact, consider designing a special resource box that appears to be part of the article.
The following paragraph and resource information serves as an example. You can see that my resource information is neither bold, nor attention grabbing. However, it provides a smooth, seamless transition from my article into my promotions.
I normally compose articles about how to make money by writing. One of my recurring themes states that, in order to make serious money on the Internet, you have to have your own product.

Develop Your Own Product for Real Success
It is fairly well documented. In order to achieve real financial success on the Internet, you need to have your own product. If you research any of the Internet Gurus, you’ll see that almost all of them sell a number of their own products. Sure, they also participate in affiliate sales, but their big money comes from products that they have created.
If you would like to step up your financial game, you too, need to develop your own product. It may take you a while, but after you complete your first project, those that follow will be much easier. And, the more products you develop, the more successful you will be.
Information products such as Ebooks sell quite well on the Internet. Most of the Internet Gurus offer quite a few of them.
“How to” Ebooks are probably the most common. An Ebook can be created for almost any subject. If you do a search, you will see page after page of Ebooks on every imaginable topic.
Some of them are offered for free. Some of the Free Ebooks are designed as a viral sales item. That is, they are offered with re-distribution rights. That means that you can give this item away to others. Most of the viral Ebooks contain links to commercial products that the developer is associated with. Each time someone buys a product using a link from the viral Ebook, the author makes money. As the Ebook is distributed and re-distributed, the advertising reaches a wider and wider audience. Although the author makes no money from the Ebook up front, ultimately, it can be quite profitable.
The traditional Ebook does not contain many ads. It is copyrighted and cannot be resold by the buyer. The author makes money as each unit is sold.
For your first Ebook, you are probably best served by writing about something you are familiar with. This makes the job much easier for you. For subsequent Ebooks, you should research popular topics that are in demand, and then write an Ebook to satisfy that demand. By doing this, you will maximize the amount of money that you make on your Ebook.
Of course, you also need to advertise your Ebook. The best written Ebook will not sell unless you let people know about it. If this is your first project, I recommend that you start out by taking advantage of free advertising methods. These include articles, free ezine ads, blogs, and forums.
Good luck in developing your own product. May your first Ebook bring you millions!

Power Words that Increase Sales
Making a purchase is an emotional activity. When browsing among a number of sale items, most people will most often choose the product that makes them feel the best. How you feel about something is an emotional response. Some words or phrases cater to these emotional needs more than others. Sitting on that sofa is so comfortable and cozy. The car you are considering will impress the neighbors. That item for the home looks just perfect with your surroundings. People buy things to satisfy their emotional needs and make them feel good.
By using emotional power words in your titles, ads, emails, and sales pages you will entice more people to buy your product. As proof of this, from which ad below would you prefer to make a purchase?
Ad 1) Sale, sale, sale! Free bonus – today only! Buy 1 tube of XYZ Skin Cream, get 1 FREE! Rub it in and you can feel it releasing all the tension in your body. Makes you feel so relaxed, you’ll think you just had a massage! Fast delivery, Free shipping! Your complete Satisfaction Guaranteed or your money back – no questions asked!
Ad 2) Two tubes XYZ Skin Cream – no charge to ship.
Both of these ads are selling the same thing. But, if you are like most people, you would prefer to buy from ad number 1. In that ad, all of the key words from the list below are used. Try using some of these words in your ads, sales pages, and emails and watch your sales increase!
1. Use the word "fast". People like immediate gratification and want fast results, fast delivery, fast ordering, etc. We value our time more than our money.
2. Use the word "discount/sale " in your ad. People like bargains and are more inclined to buy something on sale. Using a time limit on your sale (today only) makes people more inclined to buy it now.
3. Use the word "you/your" in your ad. Design your ad in a normal conversational tone. People will subconsciously believe that you are talking directly to them. It makes them feel important and more inclined to buy.
Please excuse me now; I have to finish up here. You see, I saw an ad for this new XYZ Skin Cream that I’ve just GOT to order…

How Successful Entrepreneurs Excel
In any business, there are a few individuals that excel to super star levels and make millions upon millions of dollars. And likewise, there are some who struggle for years and make little if any money at all. The rest of us are somewhere in the middle ground between the two.
Regardless of what business you are in, you should try to emulate the super stars. Try to do what they do. I’m not saying that you will immediately vault up to super star status, but your results will almost certainly improve.
Some of the characteristics of the Internet super stars are as follows:
* They diversify their business and participate in more than one niche. If an opportunity presents itself, they can swiftly change gears and exploit an additional area.
* They pay talented people to take care of the details on their numerous websites. They pay others to take care of the more mundane day-to-day issues. This frees up their time to work on items that they believe to be more important, like developing new products.
* They develop and sell their own products. When appropriate, they allow others to sell them on an affiliate basis. It is generally agreed that the number one method to be successful is to develop your own product. You must have your own products in order to excel.
* They keep abreast of current trends and reinvest in their business. They buy information to assist them in developing new profitable techniques.
In many cases, the difference between a successful business and a floundering one is a matter of small details. Diversify and participate in several different niches. By concentrating all of your efforts in a single area, you live or die with the popularity of that sector. If public interest in your niche weakens, or never existed, success will elude you. By diversifying your business among several different sectors, your chances of achieving success are considerably better.
Work hard and imitate those who are successful. By doing that, you too have an opportunity to grow your Internet business to levels you never dreamed possible. Keep in mind that those who have achieved ultra successful status have done so by working many long, hard hours. It was not handed to them on a silver platter. Most have worked very hard and earned every penny they have. So imitate those ultra successful individuals and someday, people new to the business may try to emulate you.

Easy Steps to Attract Viewers for Your Articles
Attracting viewers is the reason that most of us write articles. The most important component of your article is the title. It is the one factor that determines how many readers will see your work. If you write a great article and add an uninteresting title, you will generate very few readers.
In order to generate page views, you must first write a quality article that people are interested in reading. The subject of your work is also of great importance. If you write an article on the geological make-up of the Peruvian mountains, I can almost guarantee that few people will read it. There are not that many readers who are interested in the subject. It is important to write articles on subjects that have an audience.
The number one factor in reaching viewers is your title. It is the advertisement for your article. Most people will just skim through the various titles until they find something of interest. It is your job, to design title that satisfies their interest.
Your title can make or break an article. It is the packaging that entices your readers to buy your product. Brick and mortar companies use colorful packaging to entice customers. In the article-marketing world, we do not have that luxury. We must attract readers with the title alone. Your title must interest readers and draw them in. It has to stop them from looking at other titles and compel them to click on your article.
According to published research, longer titles attain greater numbers of readers than shorter titles. This goes against the grain of what we learned in school. Many of us were taught that good writing is short and to the point. In article marketing, just the opposite is true. A longer title gathers more viewers.
Certain types of articles do better than others. “How to” articles do particularly well. If you’ve written that type of article, make sure to use the words “How to” or “10 ways to” in your title.
Certain words and phrases naturally attract attention. Make sure you use at least some of them in your title. Some of these attention-getting words are: free, easy, secret, and money. Of course, there are many others. One easy way to find them is to look at the most popular articles from several ezines. You will begin to see a pattern of certain words that appear repeatedly. Consider using some of these same words for your title.
As mentioned previously, the subject of your article is of great importance in the number of viewers that you attract. In order to find subjects of current interest, research keywords that people are currently using in their Internet searches. This information tells you what people are interested in today. If your article and title satisfy that interest, you will attract readers. There are several websites that provide this sort of up-to-date information. One that I find very helpful in this area is: http://conversion.7search.com/scripts/advertisertools/keywordsuggestion.aspx

Words that Persuade People to Buy
Making a purchase is an emotional activity. When you browse among a number of sale items, most people will choose the product that makes them feel the best. An item for the home might be purchased because it matches the surroundings perfectly. Sitting on that sofa is so comfortable and cozy. The car you are considering will impress the neighbors. People buy things to satisfy emotional needs.
Some words or phrases cater to emotional needs more than others. Use these emotional trigger words in your titles, ads, emails, and sales pages to encourage people to buy. As proof, from which ad below would you prefer to purchase?:
Ad 1) Sale, sale, sale! Free bonus – today only! Get 2 brand new, Limited Edition XYZ collectibles for the price of 1! Free shipping, Fast delivery, Easy Low, Low Payments! Your complete Satisfaction Guaranteed or your money back – no questions asked!
Ad 2) Two XYZ Collectibles – Good price - No charge to ship.
Both of these ads are selling the same thing. But doesn’t ad 1 sound much more appealing? If you were like most people, you would prefer to buy from ad number 1. In that ad, all of the key words are used from the list below.
Try using some of these words in your ads, sales pages, titles, and emails and watch your sales increase!
1. Use the word "fast". People like immediate gratification and want fast results, fast delivery, fast ordering, etc. We value our time more than our money.
2. Use the word "easy" in your ad. We like things that are not difficult. People like easy methods, easy instructions, easy to use, easy payments, etc.
3. Use the word "free" in your ad. Everybody likes a free incentive to do business with you. Offer free ebooks, downloads, reports, etc.
Please excuse me now; I have to finish up here. You see, I saw this ad for one of those new XYZ collectibles that I’ve just GOT to order…

Create Your Own Ebook Part 2 of 2
In Part 1 of this series, we discussed the advantages of developing your own product and the potential disadvantages of using affiliate products. You will almost always be better off by selling your own product for the following reasons:
1) You will earn 100% of your sale proceeds instead of the much smaller percentage that you get from an affiliate sale.
2) You control the service that you provide to your buyers. In most cases, providing better service results in happier customers. The happier your customers, the more business you will attain from repeat orders and referrals.
3) You control the quality of your product. With affiliate sales you never know what sort of quality your customers are getting unless you buy and try the product yourself. If you are serious about dealing with affiliates, you should always test out an affiliate product before recommending it to others.
Creating your own product can have significant advantages. Of course it is not the only way to make money on the Internet. You can make a substantial amount of money on the Internet by selling affiliate products. We covered some of the problems associated with affiliate sales in Part 1.
One of the problems with affiliate sales is the fact that it is important to diversify. If you are promoting six affiliate products and generate a total of 240 prospects, you will have sent 40 prospects to each affiliate site. If each of those affiliates has a conversion percentage of 1.5%, you probably did not generate any sales. In fact, statistically speaking, you would need to send 70 prospects to one of those affiliate sites before you generate any sales. If you were promoting them evenly, you would need about 420 prospects before you start making any sales. Of course, you could choose just one affiliate and send all of your prospects there, but if the one you choose gives poor service, it could cause you significant problems. It is not a wise decision to put all of your eggs in someone else’s basket.
You can however, increase your income stream by following some of the suggestions below:
1) Your first priority should be to develop your own product. That way, you can focus all of your marketing efforts on one product and you know that you are going to give great service. If you had your own product and generated 240 page views of your sales page, you almost certainly will generate some sales.
2) Post often and regularly to a number of forums. Develop a signature file that effectively advertises your product and leave it with every post that you make.
3) Use as many free blogs as you can easily maintain. Make sure you post new information at least three or four times each week. Ensure that all of your entries promote your product.
4) Track your results! It is extremely important to keep track of which advertising programs are generating page views. That way, you can eliminate the non-performers and commit additional time, effort, and money to successful programs. By focusing on the details, you can continually upgrade your advertising and produce more and more page views.
5) Reinvest the profits back into your business. When I suggest this to people, many of them say that they don’t need anything else. Are you kidding? Buy a domain name for your current (or next) product, upgrade your hosting service, use a professional to improve the look of your website, buy information products to enhance you skills, use a ghost writer to start on your next product, hire someone to write targeted articles for you. There are hundreds of ways you can reinvest profits. Always look for methods that will make your site, more profitable, more professional looking, or more automated.
If you are not happy with the amount of money that you are currently making, look into instituting the steps above to increase your bottom line.
