having briefly described what an autoresponder is, why not try to be a little creative as to what you can do with them? remember traffic is the name of the game if you are an online marketer,and its not how many people that visits your website thats important but how many more times they come back, if you if you intend to get your visitors contact and you want to use an autoresponder, here are a few ways to get them.

i run a small business journal “ekobojournal” its a free downloadable home business journal and you have to fill my autoresponder form to get it,you can think about doing something like that it might be on any area:

internet marketing,romance,dog rearing think about it,you should know your strenghts.

Another thing you can do is to look for a few nice free bies you can give out ,books softwares,you can even create your own products,and then you create a mini website for it and you put your autoresponder form on it.

An autoresponder makes it possible for you to place a simple contact form on your site.

You can send bulk mails to your subscribers.

You can send periodic newsletters in html format or plain text.

You can queue up messages and have them sent whenever you wish,you could ask your autoresponder to send out messages in two weeks time,and you might be on holiday on mount everest and it will deliver your message as predefined,just as if you were around.

you can even write a seven day course and queue them up in your autoresponder,isnt it a wonderful tool?

Have you ever visited a website where you needed to download a free book or software and you had to fill a contact form, then you where asked to check your mail box for some sort of activation? that my dear simply describes what an autoresponder does, an autoresponder is an automatic responder,it simply automates your business, offline like  i’ll take an example of one of my businesses i design websites for people,most times first timers come in to just make enquiries,then long after they come back and say i was here sometimes ago,do you remember me? truth is businesses do not usually pick up with first time clients,online its slightly different “there are thousands of people doing the same thing you do online.” and all your client needs to visit all of them is just a click,face it that visitor might just not come back to you again,so if you do not learn anything from this blog post,always remember that “on no occasion should you leave your website naked” 

always make sure there is a contact form some where on the home page of your website,if you have your visitors contact,you can lways send a short reminder,believe me it works.

when i was a newbie i wondered if i could get a free domain name,i searched around but the closest i could get was a short url redirection that means your long freedomain name e.g cookies.yourlongfreedomainname.com can be redirected to a shorter name like such services are rendered by sites like

1, www.freedomain.co.nr where you can get a www.you.co.nr name

2, smartdots:   get any of these names and lots more

                    www.Your-Name.net.tc 
                     www.Your-Name.eu.tc 
                    www.Your-Name.us.tc 

                    www.Your-Name.pro.tc
                    www.Your-Name.de.tc

4. unionic is a sister site to smart dots and you can get names like:

    · …and many more!

As a website owner there are times you might need to place a form on your site, it might be just a simple contact form with name and email fields just to be able to contact your website visitors whenever you want to.

Of course there are lots of other kind of forms you might decide to place on your site

No  matter what you do online, we all know that “traffic is the name of the game”, its not all about getting just any body to visit your website, its important you get traffic from your target audience lets simply say getting traffic from people who need your product or service.

Here are a few tips to help you achieve a large chunk of traffic.

1.       Advertise: most times internet marketers are not willing to part with money, however you and I know that its cheaper to run an internet business than doing it offline, have you ever wondered why some sites get all the traffic and you don’t get ten people on your site in a whole month, advertising is the sole of every business, no matter how little it is have a monthly budget for adverts, at times you don’t have to advertise online, if you know of a news paper or magazine widely read by your target audience use it. Use posters, stickers, t shirts, learn to be a crazy advertiser; people won’t visit your site if they don’t know it exists, so get advertising right away.

2.       Articles: do you write? I tell newbie’s often that you can almost not succeed as an internet marketer, if you do not develop your writing skills. Personally I don’t believe some people don’t have writing skills at all, “writing is our sixth sense every one has it,” take time to develop it.

Search for free article submission sites some of such sites are:

-          www.ezinearticles.com

-          www.articlecity.com

-          www.goarticles.com

Visit search engines for a list of others. Form the habit of posting articles often, after writing your articles the resource box makes it possible for you to write briefly about yourself and your site, ezine authors and web masters within your niche will pick up your articles if they like it, and as many people who are interested in your article are likely to visit your site.

3.            Use splash pages:

 some sites specialize in traffic exchange programs you join them and visit member sites, in exchange they will give you credits which you can convert to  your site adverts, although you might not get your desired traffic size and specification un that the people who are likely to visit your site are people like you in search of traffic there’s no harm trying:

Try traffic splash

Ts5

My traffic builder.

4.       Free giveaways: do you know how powerful the word free is? Try giving out powerful freebies and see how people will flood your site, please note that its not just about giving away anything some people will just pick on an old e-book that has been tossed all over the internet ,forgetting that freebie seekers are usually up to date on freebies, give away something valuable something exceptional something that will  make the visit worth while, even if you are on a low budget you can come  up with something worth while to give.

5.       Work on your integrity, do all you can to be whoever you say you are, if you claim to know a diet that can make an obese person slim in thirty days, please make sure your medication will work exactly that way, your advert will bring a visitor the first time, your integrity will make them keep coming,  if you do whatever you claim to do, you will get people to advertise for you free of charge its called “word of mouth adverts” its more effective that any other.

An internet freebie is a free product or service given out either to sell other products, get subscribers email address, or promote a product or service.

There are millions of freebies on the internet and I spend a hell of time searching them out.

Someone feels I must be a glutton searching out freebies every single day, well may be its true but guess what you wont be reading this post if you are not like me.(l.o.l)

Its important you know that you should take extra care in downloading freebies its easy to get a virus from freebies, if you are searching for freebies try using yahoo the search results displays that there are harmful downloads in some sites so you wont have to go there at all.

It’s also very important that you read the terms of each product.

If it just a free giveaway then you can only give it away you can not sell it.

If its just for your personal use then you can only use it your self.

If it has master’s resale’s right then you can sell it and make 100% profit.

1.       Free giveaway. If you download a good free give away you can

·         Use it to get people to subscribe to your mailing list.

·         Use it as a come back incentive to your site visitors.

·         If it’s a book, you can digest it and use it as a guide to write another e-book ,give it a catchy title and use it as a give away or sell it.

·         Add it as a bonus product when people buy your product.

2.        Free product with master resale’s right.

·         You can build an online store fill it up with products with resale’s price and sell it at a ridiculously cheap price.

·         Build a vault stock it with resale’s right products, enter into joint venture with other webmasters and give this   products out free in exchange for subscribers email address.

·         Start an online newsletter or a membership site and give these products out free.

The word blog was cut out from the words “web log”, It’s an online diary or journal.

It gives you the opportunity of writing about your niche.

A blog is an easy way to start your website; it also makes it possible for visitors to interact with the website owner.

Of course you do not have to know html, java and all the other programming languages to start up a blog.

You can pick up a free blog at:

www.blogger.com

www.wordpress.com

www.blogit.com

On the other hand you can download the word press software, and upload to your webhost, and if that looks too technical for you, I’ve got good news for you :

Most webhosts makes it possible for you to install a blog on your site, I use www.hostmonster.com and it’s easy for me to put up a blog within a twinkle of an eye.

Whether you choose to use a free blog or a paid one, it’s very important that you should determine your niche.

What’s your area of specialization?  

What makes your blog outstanding?

Why should I keep coming back to your blog?

You can choose any niche as long as you will find it easy to write about it any time, as long as it’s an area you know much about.

The good thing is that your niche can be “anything” no matter how useless you feel you are, there’s always something you know about.

It could even be watching TV you can have a blog dedicated to TV programs, for instance if you write about what you feel about your favorite TV series you’d be surprised at how many people watch the program and how much they’ve being waiting to express their views about the series, your niche might be food, relationships, marriage, “whatever”.

Most importantly form the habit of writing often, most blog owners lack discipline after a few posts they stop writing. maybe you expected to see a comment on your blog when you started writing and you didn’t  then you give up .

No matter what happens keep writing. Make up your mind on how many posts you want to do in a day, if its just one post you do in a day you will have over 300 posts at year end.

As  a new eBook author  I was faced with the problem of designing my e book cover, with time I have learnt so many do it yourself skills including how to design my e book cover all by myself. however  there are some e books that you will need to get a good e cover designer to do their cover for you.

If you write a book that you intend to sell at a good price your cover is one of the things the buyer will look at unconsciously. If you are serious about selling e books you should be ready to part with some dollars or get a good premium e cover maker.

Let s assume it’s a free e book and you don’t want to pay an e-cover artist yet.

You can decide not to design an e cover at all, just dedicate a page in your book for the title and make it colorful.

·         Try using different text fonts, size and fonts size for each line.

Something like this:

MAKE  MONEY

ONLINE

IN NIGERIA. 

·         You can also think of doing a simple design using Microsoft word, just insert a box  fill it with any color and type in the e book text. Its important that you take cognizance of your color combinations.

·         You can also think of downloading e cover boxes, they are simple skeletal e book covers, try adding fonts and graphic using corel draw.

·         I will like to recommend a free resource, its an e cover maker, you can get it at http://www.boxshotmaker.com/

You can also think of taking up an e-cover tutorial at:www.coverartguide.com/

All the best!

Intro: if you don’t think you are a good author, theirs no harm in trying out your writing skill, how about writing a mini-ebook? This steps will guide you in writing your first mini book, all the best.

1. Finish before you start:

The greatest secret of outstanding authors is that they finish each book before starting.

Its simple: what’s the book about?

What messages do you intend to pass to your readers? 

Put all your points on paper, list them as they follow each other and try to see how  you can link them together, if this is done your book is as good as finished, it makes your work interesting and less stressful.

2. Give it a catchy title:

No matter your reason for writing your mini book, you sure must  find a way of making people download it, its not just about writing an e book, if I had an option of downloading 100 books at a particular time why should I download yours?

the first thing I am likely to see before I have the opportunity of reading your book is your e-book title let me give you this simple illustration.

Title 1: internet money making secrets.

Title 2: make money on the web.

Title 3: internet rich rat………

“……….quick steps to internet riches even if you are a church rat.”

Which of these titles would you rather pick and why?

No wonder someone said” titles are like magnets, they sell books like crazy!

3. Touch your reader:

learn to write emotionally no matter what you are writing about, touch your reader, always have it at the back of your mind that your book will be read by a human being who has emotions, learn to chip in a bit of emotions, it helps your reader build a relationship with you without meeting you, wouldn’t you be happy to get a mail from someone who read your book and liked it?

4. Remember the kiss principle:

“Keep it short and simple”, to me its K.I.S.S.S, “keep it short simple and straight to the point”.

Don’t beat about the bush, if you are writing about the 7 laws of money for instance, give it an intro,

List the points and talk about each one in a way that the reader will easily understands it.

5. Spice it up:

What would a little bit of humor do to your book? Some people believe that mixing humor with business makes you look unserious. while this notion might not be totally wrong, a little bit of humor will sure lighten up the mood of your reader.  I was reading a book on mysql and php, prior to that time I was pretty scared of web designing languages and I had tried reading some other books but got scared  off, this book looked like a normal book with lots of humor, I was learning php and laughing, a little bit of humor wont kill you, try it out it, sure works.6. Make research:

There are so many reasons why people write, and there are so many kinds of books people write.

Your mood and kind of person determines the kind of book you may want to write.

This blog post is dedicated to newbie internet marketers who intend to write viral e-books.

A viral eBook is a free eBook written to either promote a site or a product.

Why would any one want to write a free e book?

Every one loves the word free, if I asked you to pay a dollar for this post; you are most likely not to read it.

Internet  freebies is the bait with which netprenuers get their customers. As a  netprenuer  writing is an inestimable skill, I don’t believe it’s a talent, it’s a skill you can learn  achieve and perfect.

Together we are going to write a small eBook on a particular niche.

The first step is to ask yourself what do I want to write about?

Why do I want to write about that niche?

Let’s assume we want to promote a particular auto responder, “get response” is an auto responder service and they have an affiliate program, this means that if you refer people to get response you’ll be paid commission.

You can choose to promote any affiliate product, but its important that for the sake of your name on the internet, don’t pick an affiliate product based on commission, rather pick it because you have tried it out and you can vouch for their services. If you recommend a product and people buy it, it must be because the person has a level of trust in you, don’t break that trust!

Now we are going to write a convincing ebook, that will

Start with a prevailing problem

Discuss  so many sites and products  that proffer solution , their  plus and loopholes and why you think you want to recommend the product or service.

Please note that you can not recommend a product you have not used, you have to write to convince the reader that you have tried out the others and what you enjoy presently in this service.
