Greenpeace - defending our oceans

I just saw this ad from Greenpeace, and it just blew me away! I am not much of a protester, radical, green guy, but I know Earth is still our only home. When I was a kid, I loved that cartoon on Cartoon Network called Captain planet :) Like the information, energy also has to be free. We need to find a way to shut down the refineries, fix the garbage problem like the one in Naples in south Italy. We need to stop fixing, and start eliminating! Prevention is the best medication / cure, haven’t we learned that? Stop pointing fingers at others! Can we breathe money? Can we find better ways to earn money?

.www deprecated?

Is it pointless to type www.duskic.com instead of duskic.com? Did you know that there is No-www movement?

You can find out more about them at no-www.org

 dep·re·cate (dep’ri-kat’):
To make invalid or obsolete by removing or flagging the item. When commands or statements in a language are planned for deletion in future releases of the compiler or rendering engine, they are said to be deprecated. Programmers should begin to remove them from the source code in subsequent revisions of their programs.

 Bottom line is, if you don’t need it, why use it? This is simpler, faster, easier to say. Off course you can always loose second and a half saying double you, double you, double you. And then again, how many domains do you say, write, hear?

Is data transfer close to the speed of light?

LOL, not yet. We just measured a ping between Paris and Washington (across the Atlantic Ocean). It took ping 86 milliseconds to perform the travel. Which means…

86 ms per 6147 km

8600 ms per 614700 km

8,6 seconds per 614700 km

1 hour= 60 minutes = 3600 seconds

3600 seconds (or 1h) / 8,6 sekundi = 418,60

614700 km X 418,60 = 257,313,420 km

257,313,420 km/h ping

1,079,252,849 km/h speed of light (source Wikipedia)

Everybody and their mom literally are starting to get on-line now if it’s not to check there myspace it’s to go buy that knock off designer purse on eBay. So you want to know how you can get them to come to your website or click you ad. Well your going to get everything you need to know to get started with these seven secrets of super affiliates.

Secret number 1 If you disagree with this first secret than you might as well stop reading. The first secret is the secret the law of attraction, to keep it simple (If you want more information check it out on Google) keep a positive mind set, know what outcome you want and expect that, feel what it’s going to feel like when those commission chechs start coming in and imagine it. If you have to print of the page that shows your commissions and write in the amount you want to see every month do it. Just feel it.

Secret number 2 OK now were on to all the technical stuff. All Super Affiliates know you have to have a good product but not only a good product but one that sells. If the owner of the product sales page isn’t converting viewer’s into buyers than you sending your traffic isn’t going to do much either. You can always pre-sell the product but usually that means you have tested the product first hand. Check the stats for the product if possible and see if it’s a good product.

Secret number 3 Now once you have a good product you need to make a landing page where you will send visitors to. Important note in most cases it is not good to shove the product down there throat as soon as they get to your landing page give them more information on the topic and passively but yet aggressively (you have to find the happy medium) guide them to the product, give them a plan of action that includes the product.

By the way if you choose to send the traffic directly to the merchant you lose out on repeat buyers, keeping track of your stats and so much more.

OK so you found a product and made your landing page now you need veiwer’s or traffic.

Secret number 4 Traffic! Yes this is one of the most important ingredients in fact without traffic there are no commissions. There are a few major traffic sources writing articles, pay per click, joint ventures, search engine optimization, and a few more. Once you get the traffic the next most important part is converting that traffic.

Secret number 5 Converting traffic, if you send your prospects to your landing page you have to give them a reason to buy your product. Try giving them reasons like why the product will make there life better, try to focus on how the product or service is going to benefit them. Most people love when you break everything down for them into a plan so make a plan that will benefit them by using your product. Show them the difference between doing it with and without it. Now your making some money your one of 90% but there are a few more things you need.

Secret number 6 Research, there are so many things you could look at and tweaking all of them could have a huge impact on you business but one of the main things to research is keywords, keywords are what the Internet works on keywords and links basically these are the two ways everyone finds what the want.

Secret number 7 Repeat, yes that’s it find another product and repeat it all over, it will get easier every time.

Now you know the seven secrets go forth and multiple you affiliate income so you can focus on the more important parts of life. Stop thinking about it and just do it but make sure you can feel it first.

Effective Landing Page In Article Marketing Must Give A Strong First Impression

by Juhani Tontti
The idea of article marketing story is to pre-sell the idea of the landing page by giving useful information and writing the article in a catchy way. It must create enthusiastic waiting mood and make the reader really to want something from the Author Box.

When he has read your article, the reader is warm and eager to click your link. Your article marketing story has touched different sides of the topic and you have used maybe 500-1.000 words for that.

When the reader has read that all, comes “The Moment of Truth”, he clicks the link in the Author Box. What happens? What kind of an experience is coming? Excited or another kilometer long story, which repeats the same arguments, now maybe with other words. More reading, huh! No more thank you and he quits!

Or something better. After reading the article marketing story he is eager to act, to do something. This is a moment, like in Xmas, when he deserves a surprise, a gift, a newsletter, income course or ebook. You have to make him even more excited. Now he is delighted and is willing to seek more surprises from your web site.

Now you have his name and address in your optin list and you can put the autoresponder to work. This is the major idea of an effective landing page. The follow ups are very important and you can mail him a lot of useful, quality material concerning different aspects of your business.

To be able to find a working landing page you can test different versions. Article marketing is a flexible media for this. You simply use different links in The Author Box and see how many of article readers will click the link and how many of them will fill in his name and email address.

To increase the effectiveness of the landing page it is wise to change the copy and the gift or lay-out every now and then, because many visitors are repeated visitors. By changing the free gift you can give them fresh ideas and a reason to visit again. This is a real customer service.

I want to stress the idea of the first impression. If the first impression is bad, it is almost impossible to change it afterwards. But another way round, if it is good, the visit experience will be good, which will lead to bigger website sales and repeated visits.

The copy of the landing page must be short. You just thank the visitor and want to give him a useful gift. What a visitor must do is only fullfilling his name and email address. Nothing else. He understands that those are required so that he is able to donload something safely.

Testing and Fine Turning Your Web Traffic

by Larry Bregman

Getting visitors to come to your Internet site is the fuel for success of your home business online marketing promotion. You can build the greatest home business Internet site but if its marketing and promotion doesn’t bring users to the site it’s no good. Once those visitors are coming to your site your tracking software can let you know which pages they view and for how long and what brings them to the site and what page they are on when they exit the site. All this information helps you improve your site and the online sales process for your home business Internet marketing and promotion.

Your online marketing and promotion plan for your Internet home business should include the following goals:

* To get instant low cost traffic to your site so that these users can let you know if your Web sales copy works, if the order form is right, if the navigation is easy and if the opt-in e-mail offer is productive. * To test whether the sales process you have set up online does the optimal job of converting your home Internet business - Web traffic into the greatest number of sales. * To bring the greatest number of consumers to your Web site in the least amount of time. * And to assure that putting your Web traffic marketing and promotion campaign on autopilot successfully grows your Internet home business.

When it comes to testing your Internet site prior to home business online marketing promotion a lot of entrepreneurs don’t know how to test and what to test. The basics that you need to look at are the ordering process, the sales copy, the opt-in e-mail offer and the navigation of the site. The ordering process must be designed with the assumption that the consumer who buys from you has never done so online before. Make it so easy to navigate that the Web novice won’t give up in frustration.

When looking at the sales copy on your site you want to pay close attention to how captivating your headlines are, how clear and influential the benefits are spelled out, that the guarantee is prominent and clear and that there is a strong call to action.

The opt-in offer must be prominent and inviting. If you are getting the contact information from the consumer you know it’s working.

The most important thing to look at when testing your site’s navigation is to make sure that someone who wants to buy your product or service online can do it in two easy clicks. More than that and you start to lose the interest of this instant-gratification audience - especially if your market is under 35 years of age.

Can Anyone Make $150-$200 A Day From Using Articles?

by: Shane Hunte 

Why is article marketing so great and why do the greatest marketers on the planet employ this method of marketing?

The greatest will always remain in the front seat because they know what works. The fact that they continue to use article marketing as one of their main methods of marketing shows, well you guessed it, article marketing works for them.

The possibilities for your articles are endless and it’s an investment of time and not money which makes it cost effective as well. All you need is patience and commitment and you will succeed with this marketing method.

The greatest marketers use this method because:

It’s cost effective. Actually let me tell you plan and simple, there is no cost to do this, it is absolutely free. It builds credibility and expert status on the internet on any subject there is under the sun. It drives floods of traffic to you promotions. You reach a laser targeted audience with you articles.

This method has been proven to give you quality back links to your website and subsequently raise your website rankings, which equals more traffic.

These are just previews of the wealth that article writing can bring to you. Although these aren’t all the reasons, these should be enough reason for you to use this method of marketing.

The most successful people have one thing in common they copy the best, as we can see, the best marketers all said yes to article marketing as one of their most frequently used internet marketing methods.

What is the magical blue print for writing articles like the big guns?

Here is the step by step blue print that the greatest use to build their articles at lightening speed:

Step 1. Plan your article

This may sound elementary but very few people can write articles and skip this step completely. When you plan your article it makes it easier to write on the topic that you choose. You need to dedicate time for this step because it’s the doorway for the other steps to follow.

Step 2. Brainstorm your article topic

What are you going to write about and why? Do people want this information? Can you solve a problem that others have? Asking yourself these questions coupled with a little research can get you a long way.

Step 3. Brainstorming your article points and organizing them.

So you have a good topic, now what are the points that you want to discuss on that topic? Organize these topics into the order in which you want to hit on them first then expand on it.

Step 4. Write selflessly about the topic to give quality information to your readers.

This often separates the good from the great. People want information that helps them solve a problem. We usually get the wrong idea with this form of marketing and dive into a sales letter for a product we promote. You’re not promoting a product right now, you‘re trying to build your credibility in the minds of readers.

This will make them trust you more and be more open minded to your recommendations for your promotions. Not only will it turn off readers, it also turns off publishers to post your articles on their sites because it isn’t of value to their website traffic.

Step 5. Double check and triple check your article for mistakes.

You don’t want your articles to be filled with spelling errors and other minor or major mistakes because this will make people not like your writing.

Publishers will review your pieces and if multiple errors are found, then it will not be submitted to their audience.

Print out the article, read it aloud and pass it to a close friend to read it for you and give and objective opinion on what they think about your article. Two sets of eyes are better to find mistakes so use the feedback you get to write better.

Now that you have a simple blue print to follow consider using it to write articles. Article marketing is the life blood for many great marketers out there and you should make it part of your marketing plans. It continuously adds $150-$200 a day to the pockets of those who use it maybe that alone could be your motivation to try.
