Do you look out for ads which are blended well with the content of the website to avoid clicking on them? Have you ever click on ads unknowingly until you realise you are divert to another website? This has happened to me many times and it is certainly not a good experience.
WIIFM: What is in for me?
I bet most of the people have at least heard of this term – WIIFM. This term is really important to everybody, especially to internet marketers. Why is it so?
Lately I have been reading up on Law of Attraction. Perhaps, I am late on this topic since quite a number of bloggers have been talking about this already. Basically, it is to tell us that like attracts like, and “you get what you think about, your thoughts determine your destiny.” I believe some of us have heard of this quote by Henry Ford before, If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can’t, you’re right. Well, this is my own way of interpreting it.
I bet most of us have encountered a “tell a friend” advertising method before. This is the most simplest technique in viral marketing. You only need to invest in a simple “tell a friend” script and you are all set to go. Many companies have used this method to spread their product and to build up a strong brand name capitalising on the trust of the person sending the mails. Some have even enticed people to tell a friend by giving away freebies if a friend they recommend sign up for a service or bought a product from the company. I have personally recommended many friends to signed up for a new credit card by HSBC in return for a voucher. 
I know it is normal for newbie affiliate marketers to get excited when they start to market online products. If you are not excited at all, then you shouldn’t be in this business. I was once at this stage and so I would like to give some advices on the “do and don’t” to all the upcoming newbies affiliates.
Hopefully this helps the newbies to avoid some serious mistakes when they are just starting out. For those who are already marketing for quite some time but still haven’t achieve any significant results, maybe it is time to review your strategy.
This may come a bit late. But read on…
I have attended the World Internet Summit Singapore (WIS) last year and before that, I have the idea that there is something secret which are being shared to attendees only. There are many products given to us which we can sell to kickstart our internet marketing business immediately to earn money. And so I went to WIS with high hope that I can fire my boss immediately. I don’t have anything against my boss because he has treated me very well. I just thought that having a own business would do more good for me.
We have all heard of many success stories about businesses making it big in the internet. Is it through luck that they are successful. I dont think so. It takes more than just luck to be successful and it will just be called a windfall instead. It takes good business sense and a lot of work and team effort to be successful. Hence, what helps us to reach that level of success?
Goal setting is the most important thing you should do before you start any business. Be it affiliate marketing or anything else. This is the first step to success.
Most of the people have set their goals in the beginning of the year. But the results will vary depending on the type of goal you set for yourself. If you have set an incremental goal for yourself, e.g. to achieve an 10% increase of profits from your marketing business, I can almost guarantee that you will reach your goal but you will not have any extraordinary results. This is because you would have achieve that result even if you continue your current methods.
I stumbled on this interesting site which calculating the value of your blog today. It would be nice to see that your blog is worth more than $10,000, but I wonder whether anyone would really pay us so much for our blog. This is the value of my blog.
My blog is worth $5,080.86.
How much is your blog worth?
I bet quite a number of us have joined MySpace. It seems to be one of the favourite “hangout” websites now. Though many of us have joined, some of us are struggling to get noticed by other members, while others seem like drawing hundreds, if not thousands of members to them. So why are these members are able to attract members to themselves, like bees to flowers?
Read on and perhaps, you can pick up a trick or two.
