Many people who are new to internet marketing soon realize they may need to acutally buy ebooks with internet marketing strategies to fully satisfy their intellectual needs. Maybe you are skeptical about most internet marketing ebooks on the market today and want credible resources you can use right now to make that extra cash you want. Read on and discover 5 keys I personally look for when trying to improve my current internet marketing strategy.

Here are the tips, right off the bat, no fluff or filler =)

Tip Number 1: Expertise

When finding an ebook to invest in you don’t only want to look for expertise, but try to find some real professionalism, or at least someone who knows what he or she is doing with their business. Experience and proof beats everything in this jaded market, and anyone who has been around for a while will tell you this straight up. Seek professional tips and tricks…. if the site looks fishy, don’t buy!

Deciding tip number 2: Proof

Proof… Oh man, this is a biggie for anyone who is a bit seasoned in the game, but when you are a “newbie” it’s not easy to recognize “truth” from “fiction”. Some people make outrageous income claims which nobody who has been around would believe… But when you are starting out, it’s not uncommon to fall for these types of “emotional triggers”, I know I did when I was new.

Deciding Tip number 3: Credibility

Who is this person? Can you google him/her and find multiple sites? Can you find hundreds or thousands of articles written by the same author? Does he or she have multiple websites with similar proof, products? Are they running a blog or newsletter? This is usually a good indication that the person is serious in the biz and it increases credibility.

If the site in addition to the previously mentioned points also has solid testimonials then it’s easy to say it’s legit. People have tried it and tested the product for maximum results. Are the testimonials credible? Are they normal people, experts or whatever? Whatever relates to you will be a solid testimonial… If they supply a webiste adress, image, audio, or video it’s safe to say it’s a legit testimonial.

Tip 4 out of 5: Overall Design

If the site has a nice header graphic and feels professionally designed then that’s also a good indicator of a solid website. If on the other hand the website looks like it’s created by a 5 year old, nah, not so much… Right?

Tip 5 out of 5: Other people are recommending the product.

If you go to Google and type “product name review” or “product name testimonial” you’ll find multiple people who have reviewed the product as affiliates. If this comes up and there are review you’ll instantly know it’s a legit business owner who has gone great lenghts to accumulate both affiliate marketers and Joint Venture partners to their team.

I don’t blame the parents. After all it’s their kids and they were the one who uploaded the video. They should be the first to benefit from the popularity and the high volume of traffic that the video has brought.

Certainly the video is so cute and the British accent adds to its attraction. (Several “Charlie bit me” spoofs are not so cute at all; in fact I would say that they are lame)

If there is one lesson that can be learned from this “Charlie bit me phenomenon” or “Charlie bit me craze” that is that CONTENT IS STILL KING. No matter what other Search Engine Optimization (SEO) gurus say, in the end its still “The content stupid.” Most of “Charlie bit me” fans know about the video through word of mouth. It is quite obvious that people who do not know about the video knew about this through others and not by searching for “funny videos” over the internet. I doubt if the parents of these kid did some advertisement, tried to increase their back links, released several press releases, bought some articles are bought text link or google ads. The “Charlie bit me” video has become so popular because people liked the content. In fact they go crazy over it. It’s funny and it’s cute. Of course I am not underestimating the importance of SEO strategies and techniques, however in the end, high volume sustainable traffic to your site is mainly due to rich content.

If you are using your autoresonder to only answer your email when your out of town or away, you are short changing yourself. These programs do more than just answer your email automatically. I will show you a few ideas that will help you turn your autoresponder into a profit machine.

With your autoresponders, you can develop an mini-course and distribute it over a few days or weeks. Provide quality content to your subscribers. Make sure not to pitch. Let your content do the selling for you. Provide valuable tips and information your subscribers can benefit from. Then softly mention your product and how they can benefit from it.

Send a reminder about your service or product after a visitor has completed the course you provided. The possibility of a sale will increase from visitors who have taken your course but are slow to pulling the trigger on making a purchase. The reminders are also good to promote new products and services or the products and services of your affiliate programs.

Distributing free reports gives your reader an idea of the type of information you can provide and the quality of your product or service. Try not to make these reports sales letters or you will most likely lose a potential customer than get a sale.

You can do create trivia quizzes on your website then place the answers in an autoresponder. Your visitor will be motivated by the quiz and participate. You will have a record of the visitors email address. You can also create a content and have site visitors send their responses to your autoresponder. The autoresponder can be set-up to send your visitor a confirmation of their entry.

Give your visitors a sample of your product. If it is an ebook, course, software, membership, etc, send it to them via the autoresponder after they have given you their email address and name. People who are exposed to a little taste often want the whole steak. This is a good way to build your list by offering a free trial from your website. Make sure to follow-up and close the sale.

You can gather a list of visitors who may be interested in becoming your affiliates. Place a link to a hidden page on your autoresponder. This hidden page could contain graphics, promotional articles, and text links that may interest potential affilates.

Place a request form for visitors to be notified of special offers or discounts in the future. This creates a very effective mailing list that contains the names of people who are already your customers.

You can include your links in your autoresponder. These links should be of interest to your visitors. This will help drive traffic back to those pages of your website.

If used creatively autoresponders can be used to generate substantial revenue. Now see if you can come up with some brilliant ideas to implement into your business or online venture!
