New FTC Guidelines and Your Money Making Online Marketing Business

Feb 5

Posted by Don McCobb in Smart Money Making Online Ideas | No Comments


On December 1, 2009, The FTC published new guidelines which affect all money making online marketing businesses. How difficult are these guidelines to follow and what must we all do to make sure we comply?

First of all no doubt these guidelines will slow most of us down a little, but they aren’t necessarily bad.  Certainly, they are meant to protect the consumer from the  overdone hype and wild advertisers’ claims that cannot be substantiated. We all know that online marketers seem to have a tendency to do just that.

So what  do these guidelines really do.  First and foremost there is mandatory disclosure of any material connection between yourself and any affiliate product you are recommending. Many of our colleagues don’t like this, but it will no longer be legal to make a recommendation sound unbiased when it is not. It even goes further in that you must disclose the fact that you rare promoting a product you have received for free.

A result of this is a notable reduction in fake blogs and blogs with raving consumer reviews when really the owner is really only reporting affiliate sales.  Under the new rules it is not legal to play on a customer’s inexperience in this way.

Of course, you also need to be careful of people trying to take advantage of the concern or maybe even fear of internet marketers in regard to these rules. Innumerable programs are cropping up to guide you through the new maze.  Some of this, of course,is legitimate, but also, some comes from unqualified sources.  You need to be careful that anyone you contract to help you is qualified to do so.

And no one can insure compliance or protection.  You need to understand the guidelines, and if you have any doubts about a marketing program you are undertaking, be sure to get quality advice before you go public with it.

The FTC is serious and not to be taken lightly.  If you want to succeed in your online money making marketing business, you need to make sure you are operating within the FTC guidelines.

Website Traffic Ideas For Your Online Money Making Business

Feb 1

Posted by Don McCobb in Online Money Making Websites | No Comments

If you are looking to attract quality traffic for your online money making website, there are a lot of techniques you can think of to make that happen.

However, you have to be aware that there are also website traffic experts out there that are just waiting to pounce on you and will hinder you from achieving success out of something you have worked hard for.

Here are some things to know so your time, effort and money will not be sucked down the drain.

1. Check out sites that are offering free software or free traffic before you pay for them.  Not all paid stuff is better than free stuff.

Incorporate into your site what you have gotten and monitor if these things are effective for attracting traffic or not. This will help you evaluate worth of free software and traffic.

2. Do not pay for information that you could have gotten for free. There are many websites you can check out that give information with no charge. These websites are posting valuable techniques and tips that will prove helpful in increasing your website traffic.

3. Never believe in promises that seem to good to be true. It might turn out to be just that. For sure, you will receive emails from lots of so-called guru’s who that tell you that they are the best and that they can bring a bunch of website traffic to your site.

I can give you a wonderful example. I received a free offer to bring immense traffic to my site.  In fact they did. In two days my site received 7,000 visits.  Terrific! But not one of these visits resulted in a real view of my site let alone a conversion.

So check out the credentials of the person offering free whatever first before going ahead. Do some research about these people and their site. Remember that promises are easier to make that to turn into reality. See beyond the words.

4. Stop what works poorly and do what works well. If you have found something that somehow increased your website traffic, hold on to that and expand it. But if you see that it is not doing what it is supposed to do, close it down.

5. Learn to do everything yourself. When you have learned and understood the intricacies of website traffic, you will no longer need other people`s expertise.

Having a knowledge of how things work will make it difficult for others to take advantage of you. You will not be easily talked into something you might regret later. Research on the Internet the tools and strategies you can use to increase your website traffic.

6. Make the most out of the money you are spending. Make sure you need something before you go for it.

You have to be aware that there are a lot of schemers out there wanting to get hold of you hard-earned money. Be wary of grandiose offers.

7. Your website. The look and feel of your site is an important factor on the amount of website traffic you will be get. A professional looking site with easy access to everything will attract more traffic than a site that people cannot find easily, is too cluttered and difficult to navigate.

8. Have someone review your website. Ask them to give you an honest assessment about how your site appears to them. Negative comments are more helpful than positive ones because these will help you change what should be changed.

Follow these ideas and your online money making website will certainly be successful.

Sign up over to the right and get my free ebook.  It will answer all of your questions about how to make money online.  I recommend The Affiliate Code as the best affiliate program around, but it you want to check out some others, go to Working For Our Future and you’ll find three other great ones.

Using Private Label Rights To Generate Viral Traffic For Your Online Money Making Business

Jan 12

Posted by Don McCobb in Smart Online Money Making Ideas | No Comments

This post is kind of an add on to my previous three articles on viral techniques for your online money making business.  This idea, however, takes a different slant. It starts with your buying or owning private label rights (PLR) to some kind of content.  Usually, and maybe the easiest is to start with a private label rights ebook.

The idea is to repurpose the ebook. I’m not sure that repurpose is really a word, but the idea is to take the ebook, cut it up and issue it again in different ways to promote your online money making business. This can open up a bunch of new ways to make some money off of your private label rights content, and offer your expertise through several different mediums.  This can also enhance your reputation as an expert along the way, without having to create anything.

Here are several ways to do this.

1. You can reproduce the PLR content as a Powerpoint Slide Video and upload it to YouTube. YouTube has become one of Marketer’s favorite sites to draw traffic to their websites.  If you can attract the right audience using good keywords, you can draw substantial traffic to your website.

2. You can cut up the PLR into short YouTube tutorials.  These also can elevate your name as an expert.  The better you are known as an expert, the more people are willing to spend on your products.

3. You can breakdown your PLR into special reports.  You can give them away, publish them as short articles and post them to your blog.

4. You can record audio of the PLR or even of the short articles you have broken out to it, and podcast them. Everyday it gets easier for people to obtain and listen to podcasts so it’s becoming the future wave for drawing traffic. Again people’s perception of your expertise will soar.

5. Another thing you can do with the short articles you have made from the original PLR is distribute them to other blogs as guest blogger. You need to find other blogs with high traffic and become a guest blogger. This is a great way to broaden the market’s perception of you as an expert.

The more PLR content you have, the more articles, mosts and comments you can develop and publish in the mediums discussed above. You need to be continually looking around for new ways to repurpose your content and spread it around in places that will attract traffic to your website.  The more you spread your content around the better your online money making business will do.

By the way if you want to read more on starting your online money making business, sign up on the right and get my free ebook, Make A Million Online System.  It explains in detail the above ideas plus gives you many more.  And if you want to check out affiliate programs, go to my website, Working For Our Future, and get into one of the three affiliate programs that I am promoting.  And you’ll be off and running .
