The Internet has evened the odds for small business. The Internet has created a real equal opportunity for those who are willing to use it. There are several different ways to make use of niche marketing and succeed. All of the ways require getting a domain and a webhost, building web pages and adding content. Those are just the basic basics of Internet Marketing in any form. Then there are the choices of how to go about building a successful niche marketing site that will provide you with a profit....hopefully a very large profit.

  1. You can create an informational product. An informational product can be articles, reports, columns, audio or video, or other things. These can be sold as stand alone products or used for advertisement or promotional causes.
  2. You can build a content rich web site that will be so interesting it will draw potential customers again and again.

Why Fear Limits Your Life Potential

Have you ever felt like fear was preventing you from reaching your full potential in life? If so, you are certainly not alone because fear is one of the biggest obstacles that many people face when trying to create better life circumstances.

Below are some of the most common ways that fear can hold you back:

Fear can prevent you from making positive changes

Sometimes fear can make even the smallest changes seem extremely uncomfortable. For example, you may be deeply dissatisfied with your job, but feel nervous or uncertain about finding and applying for a better one. Or you may have always dreamed of buying your own home but worry that the responsibility would be too much to handle.

Fear can prevent you from breaking destructive habits

We all know that smoking, poor dietary choices, excessive alcohol and a sedentary lifestyle are a recipe for health problems, but we often gravitate toward these habits because they help numb our anxious or fearful feelings. If you have ever tried to break a bad habit like this, you know how stressful it can be because suddenly you are filled with anxiety and you don't know how to handle it except to run back to your "pacifiers" - the very habits you are trying to break.

Fear can prevent you from taking risks

Many of us shy away from risk because we fear negative consequences. For example, you may hesitate to invest your money because you fear losing it, or avoid starting a new relationship because you were so hurt by the last one. What most of us fail to realize is that risk can also bring great rewards. Avoiding risk may help us avoid negative possibilities but we also miss the excitement and joy that come from positive outcomes.

Fear can prevent you from pursuing your goals

Have you ever dreamed of doing something great but were never able to push yourself to do it? Perhaps you dreamed of being a stand-up comedian but dreaded the thought of public speaking, or you desperately wanted to be a bestselling author but were too afraid to pen that novel lurking inside of you.

Fear can prevent you from expanding your life

Social anxiety is another common way that fear can limit your potential. It may prevent you from attending networking functions so your career or business can't grow properly, or you may avoid taking that much needed vacation to relax and explore other cultures because you fear flying or being on a cruise ship.

How to Stop Fear from Limiting Your Potential

It's important to note that all of these fears are most often groundless. They are merely a perception that things "could" go wrong - but that doesn't mean they will.

Rather than trying to force your way through the fear, you may find it easier to explore the many ways that fear can be effectively released from your mind, emotions, and body. When you know how to release the fear, you simply handle it as you would any minor obstacle and then continue on your way to creating the best life you possibly can.

Make Money Blogging

Most people don't realize how much money there is in blogging. The first time I saw people blogging; I thought they were completely nuts! But that's until I figured out they were make thousands of dollars per month.

So now that I know exactly how to make money blogging, and have done it myself, I'm going to explain to you exactly how they are doing it and how you can get started too! It's also extremely easy. Let's just say it takes about an hour a day and you're good to go making a lot of money online. But that's only if you know the secret that I'm about to reveal to you!

Most of the people out there blogging are missing out on thousands of dollars since they don't know the simple secrets! If you are one of them, or if any of them are reading this now, I guarantee you/they will smack their head on a wall multiple times for not realizing this earlier.

The BIG secret to blogging is, becoming an affiliate to products related to the blog you own, that's it! Now let me explain to you exactly what I mean by this. Lets say you have a blog about training dogs. Now you can place ads on the blog, which is what most of the people out there do. Yeah, you can make a good amount of money if you have MILLIONS of people reading your blog, but chances are, you will never have that. Sorry to burst your bubble. But lets say you do have 30k people a month reading your blog. If you become an affiliate of a dog-training product and write a short 300-word article on it to your viewers, I guarantee that you'll make a lot more than ads will make you. The reason for this is because you can earn up to 75% promoting peoples products. So if the product sells for $100, you'd make $75 per sale! Out of 30k viewers, you'd probably get around a 2% conversion rate since they all want dog training information, meaning you have targeted readers. That's around $45,000 dollars you're missing out on. Now just do this once a month and I think you'll be happy with that right?

But hey! You don't have to take the ads off your blog, leave them on for some extra money. But if you're not doing what I just told you to do already, go out and do that right now, if you don't, I don't know what to tell you.

3 Simple Steps To Make Money with PLR Articles

Whatever you are doing online, you can make money with PLR. If you write your own content you will save time by rewriting PLR articles instead. If you outsource, you will save money. And even if you get free content syndicated to your site, you can use PLR to drive traffic.

So here are 3 important tips to making money with PLR articles.

1. Pick A Niche Where People Are Spending

A lot of PLR article memberships will have you download a ton of articles in niches where, frankly, you would have to be a miracle worker to make money.

Sometimes this is because nobody is interested in the subject. More often, it is because they are not spending enough to make it worth your time. Either the products are very cheap so your commissions are tiny, or the visitors are not likely to order online.

Sure, you can still have Adsense on your site and maybe make a few cents that way. But it will not be more than a few cents a click because the advertisers will not pay much for clicks from visitors in a low-spending market.

So before you even take the time to set up a simple blog, ask yourself a few questions. Is this really a popular area? Who is going to be buying products or signing up for services online? And what products will they buy? Are there affiliate programs? Are there CPA offers?

2. Make Your PLR Unique - At Least A Little

When you buy PLR you must realize that other people have the right to use it, just like you. Changing it, at least a little, means you have more chance of getting your version into the search engine results.

The simplest way to alter PLR articles, if your English is not good or you do not want to take much time, is to change the keywords. These will be in the title and usually around 3 places in the article. Having a different title is a great start and for your own site, this may be all you have to do.

The next step if you want to go further is to change the first and last paragraphs. You can alter or delete a few words, split one sentence into two, and make easy changes like that.

Rewriting the article completely is necessary if you want to submit it to article directories. For a complete marketing strategy, you could rewrite the article for the top article directories but use a less changed version on your own site. That way you are not even competing with your own article for Google's attention.

3. Be Creative In How You Use The Articles

So far we have covered some of the standard ways to make money with PLR articles. But think outside of the box and you can steal ahead of other marketers.

Using the articles along with an opt in list will help you make more money. Capture subscribers using a free ebook that you compiled from some related PLR articles, then use the information in the articles to send them a regular newsletter. You can promote your affiliate products in every newsletter.

Many people will not buy the first time they see an offer. They need 2, 3 or anything up to 10 visits. Plus you have the chance to promote several different products to them over a period of time. So by bringing your subscribers back to your offers again and again, you can easily make a lot more money.

Or how about video? You can use points from the articles to create a video to promote your chosen affiliate product. Create simple slides that summarize the main points. You can do this with Powerpoint or a free online video creation program such as Jing. Then either narrate your commentary, including more details, or simply have music accompanying the slides.

You can use PLR articles as your 'secret weapon' to save time and money in virtually any traffic strategy that you can think of. Get into a profitable niche and focus on it, change the PLR at least a little and be creative in your thinking. Then you should find it easy to make money with PLR articles.

What are Fly-In Ads?

Fly-In Ads are similar to pop-ups but are 5 times more effective.

Pop up ads are no longer effective.  Why?  Well, if a pop up blocker doesn't prevent them from being shown, the visitor simply quickly ignores it or shuts it down.

Fly-ins must be acknowledged and 90% of the pop up blockers on the market can't stop them.

I have found a free tool which is easy to use and can be set up very quickly. You can specify the way the Fly-In Ads appear:

You can choose when it appears, either

  • On page load
  • On page exit

You can choose which direction it enters the page:

  • From the left
  • From the right
  • From the top
  • From the bottom
  • Or at random
