There are many people every day jumping into the online world. With more and more people using the internet the floodgates of internet users are opening wider everyday. But how, as a home business owner, can you expect to compete with the “big dogs” of the internet and dip your cup into the profits as well?

There are a ton of tips and tricks that people will tell you are the “best” way to advertise your home business??. For more info login to:www.freeearningtips.comBut do them incorrectly or choose the wrong methods and all you’ll really end up doing is increasing your frustration, not your traffic or your sales.

He remembers back when he started my first business (not online) it seemed like almost everyday someone was willing to offer me a great deal to advertise my business. Of course with all these different resources out there some of them had to be more effective than others. The only problem was ???. HOW Do he Tell Which Ones? He  had limited resources and certainly couldn’t afford to give them all a try, unless I just wanted to cross my fingers and hope they worked so He wouldn’t go out of business!

Thankfully, today’s online world provides home business owners with a variety of different marketing techniques, and each can be as profitable as the next. As a business owner you simply have to decide what you are willing to invest in your business, and which will have the best return on your investment

Let’s run through a few of the most popular types.

Paid Banner (CPM + CPC) and Paid Text-

Banner ads you can pay for as CPC(cost per click) or CPM(cost per every thousand times banner is displayed) usually placed in a high traffic area on a site that causes visitors of that site to see it and visit your site.

Paid Text advertising is similar only the ad is in the form of a text link usually off to the sides (or at the top in search engines like Yahoo! And Google) For more info login to :www.tube-traffic.comIf you are going to use this kind of advertising make sure you pick the sites you place your ads on carefully (popular sites will be expensive but you should get more clicks and smaller sites will be cheaper, but often with little or no results)

E-mail lists –

Programs or services that will get your link out to many different internet users. These can be good if you have a very widely used type of product. The negative to these lists is that with new e-mail features often these types of messages get marked as spam and are disregarded by the intended recipient.

Free Traffic Generators –

Traffic generators like Traffic Swarm can be a great way of just getting people to go to your site. There are some that you can pay for that will guarantee you a certain number of visitors for a set price. Problem is that most of the people that are now visiting your site aren’t really interested in your product or service. You might get one or two sales from extremely impulsive buyers but the rest only visit to earn credits or something of the sort from the home site. If you’re going to rely on this type of advertising make sure your visitor/buyer ratio is already high for your site.

Link Exchange –

This is by far the best way of driving quality traffic to your site?? if you do it right! Before you even THINK about trying to exchange links with other sites there’s a few things you should know?..

1. Download the Google toolbar – This way you will be able to tell the page rank of any pages you want to exchange links with (higher the PR the higher in the search ranking which means more traffic)

2. Exchange links with only pages of PR 4 or higher. It will help your page more by having a few PR4+ pages linking to you than 10000 pages with no page rank.

3. Build your content FIRST! Don’t expect E-Bay to display your link just because you asked them nicely! Webmasters want to know they are linking to a quality site with a good amount of substance. Focus on building your site before you ask people to link to it.

4. Try to exchange links with other sites that have the same key words as yours. Ie: There’s no reason to exchange links with a flower web site if you sell telephone service

The only thing this type of advertising will cost you is a little effort. The greatest part of it is that the people that visit your site are people that are actually interested in your product or service, not just people stopping by to earn credits?? and you don’t pay a cent. There are many books and sites on the web that can give you more details on how to effectively exchange links to your benefit.

Hopefully these tips have helped you narrow down the best type of advertising for your site. The one thing that hasn’t changed in the transition from regular to internet marketing is that you never really know what will work best for you until you try. Don’t be afraid to get your feet wet and see what you like!

Internet and affiliate marketing is rife with ebooks, software and coaching programs all designed to make you a better affiliate marketer. It’s a shame that few of them actually do. Countless newbies and experienced marketers alike want to increase their earnings by using the latest techniques and buy countless ebooks to help them do so. It doesn’t have to be that way.

If you have ever purchased the latest IM ebook to get that edge on you competition you are usually buying nothing more than a rehashed technique. Sometimes though you find a real gem something that really helps, but most times you end up frustrated even further with another $97 down the drain.

However, there is a marketing lesson in all this. Why do marketers continue to sell these ebooks and software? The answer is because people buy them and they buy them in droves. “Gurus” have found a rabid hungry market that demands more and newer information and gladly pays for it. In that simple statement my friend, is the key to your marketing success.

There is an old analogy that says if you put an engine (marketing techniques) on an airplane that will fly (good marketing fundamentals) then you can fly forever. If you put that same engine on a plane that won’t fly because of poor design or poor construction, you will just crash even faster. So why not learn how to build a solid plane to start and then add an engine?

Marketing fundaments are simple and old as time. The problem lies in their simplicity. People tend to ignore them and look for something more complicated. It’s in our nature to complicate things, but successful marketing boils down to the following:

1. Find a market – There are so many ways to do this from ebay, to amazon, to magazines, to best selling books.
2. Find out what the market wants – Spend a little time where the market hangs out. Forums and discussion groups are a great place online.
3. Give the market what they want – With a little research and effort its not to hard to figure out. What does the market say and do?
4. Get Feedback – If you are making sales, then you are on the right track. If your not, then your not.
5. Tweak and repeat – Take the feedback that the market gives you and adjust. Then go find another market.

It is so easy to dismiss these steps as too basic because they are so simple. Yet your first or next marketing success will come from following those 5 simple steps. Take them, commit them to memory and take action daily and soon your income will begin to grow. It might start at $25, $50, $150 month, but with dedication and consistency it will soon become $2,500, $5,000, or $15,000

Does anyone know were i can find one on the internet? – i was thinking a Chinese one as they are cheaper.

What’s the age of your target market? Are they female or male? Where do they live? Do they use internet a lot?
What’s the hobby of your target market?

Know your target market first. Most common mistake of every starting online business is: "my target market is everybody" Narrow down your target market. Find a niche market.

Starting an online business looks easy, because you don’t need to invest that much money. Just build a website and launch it. Don’t think you are done, once your website is launched. Your business hasn’t started yet.

How do you get people come to you website? How to increase your traffic? If they have found your website, ask yourself: why would they buy from you? Because it’s cheaper? NO. Never compete with the price. Better provide your customer with unique quality products or excellent customer service.

You can start online store in different ways:

1. Ebay store (low price image)
2. Amazon
3. Yahoo store
4. Build your own online store
5. Combine 1,2,3,4 to get maximum visitors

If you are going to build your own website, you need to do the following internet marketing techniques:

A. Find the most popular keywords your target market is searching for in Google & Yahoo
B. Optimization those Keywords with SEO (Search Engine Optimzation
C. Bid for those keywords at Google Adwords (Pay Per Click)

The “Rich Jerk” has created quite a stir on the Internet about
his new ebook revealing secrets on how to use use Google Adwords
and Adsense for big profits. He has recently sold a website on
eBay for $390,000 that had a $900,000 annual return. It only
took him nine months to reach that sky-rocketing figure.

The Rich Jerk’s real name is Kelly Summer. He often likes to
refer to himself as “The Rich Jerk” for his attention grabbing
and rude awakening marketing techniques. He has recently grabbed
notoriety amongst some of the leading marketing experts such as
Lance Groom, Jeff Mills, Dean Marino, Britt Phillips, and Karl
Payne. Some people are saying that this revealing ebook has
opened many doors for new and experienced marketers to make a
lot of online money.

The Rich Jerk has been able to earn over $13 million in the past
six years with clickbank and Paypal using these exact same
techniques he now teaches. Some critics say that The Rich Jerk
has revealed too much information and that could shrink their
pocket books by the competition of new marketing arrivals.

This book is also not for the faint of heart. It contains some
marketing tactics that are considered “grey hat” and “black
hat.” It also assumes readers are professional enough to
understand investing in their business, in the form of
advertising. Not every tactic is grey hat, black hat, or costs
money though – there’s a nice mix of many different tactics and
approaches. The book is a “no fluff” and “no filler” type ebook
that gets right to the point and shows you exactly how this guy
is making tons of cash.

The Rich Jerk is a legitimate online player. People are also
stating that they just couldn’t resist The Rich Jerk and what he
had to say in his brand new ebook. Ninety-nine percent of the
reviews online have stated, “don’t worry at all about feeling
like you got duped, because The Rich Jerk is not such a jerk
after all and his book was downright Awesome!” Yes he does have
an abrasive advertising style, but what the Jerk does do is make
a lot of money, and is now willing to teach other people how to
do the same.

In the first chapter, entitled “Creating an Affiliate Website
that Sells Like Crazy”, he covers building affiliate websites to
earn commissions from the sales of other people’s products. He
starts by listing 13 affiliate sites and ranks them as “must
join,” “maybe join,” and “join if you are bored.” Once you’ve
selected a product to sell, he goes through six specific writing
strategies to use on your affiliate site to hook the reader and
get them to click through on your affiliate link. He then gives
you a complete sample “sales letter” (it’s more like an article)
with all of his strategies at work.

The third section in chapter one discusses offering rebates to
your customers, but it’s not just the same old “buy from me and
I’ll give you part of my affiliate fee back.” The Rich Jerk
delves into specific ways to do refunds that will increase your
bottom line as opposed to simply offering a rebate.

In the final section of chapter one, The Rich Jerk writes about
setting up pay-per-lead sites, where you get paid $10 or so for
each person who provides you with his or her information (which
you then pass on to a company which pays you for the lead). This
is a technique that has not been explored in-depth much by any
of the mainstream Internet marketing channels.

So why is “The Rich Jerk” much better than you? The answer to
this question lies within his newly released ebook.
