Moonlighting – 2nd Jobs – Extra Income

admin — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 16:31:10 +0000

In today’s economy everyone is looking for an extra income. Now is not the time to quit your job if you have one. It is the time to begin to supplement your income though. If something were to happen to your steady income then you would have something to fall back on.

When I was young everyone told me to go with the big companies, they were safe & secure. Somehow I always felt uncomfortable with this and struck out on my own as an entrepreneur. I felt that the only safe & secure income was one I created on my own because I would be in control of it. If I were to work for someone else they would be in total control of my income & could stop it at anytime they wished. At least back then companies had enough courtesy to give you a 2 week notice before axing you. Today I constantly hear of people being called in on Friday afternoon and being handed their last check and told there is no more work.

Don’t let this happen to you!

Now is the time to prepare for this scenario. Everyone has some sort of specialty or expertise. It is time to fine tune this and begin to make a supplemental income from it. We have helped many people publish an ebook or membership site with the knowledge they have in their head. Everyone has a book in them & we want to help you get it out there to the world.

Just imagine yourself last year at this time. What has changed as far as your income from then until now?

Imagine yourself a year from now. What will be different in your income then compared to today?

If you are ready to take control of your income we can help you. If you are ready to change your future we can help you. email me now at skunkworksmarketing@gmail.com & I will personally help you get control of your future income. We offer people Financial Freedom.

Imagine your life if you were financially free. Start today, don’t wait to be called in on a Friday afternoon & find your income has been stopped by someone else, begin to replace it today.

Talk to you soon.

Social Media Secrets

admin — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 12:03:02 +0000

Traffic is what a successful marketing campaign is all about. If you have a website (or a blog, video, or web 2.0 page), the continuous creation of one way backlinks will grow the authority of your business overtime. In this business consistency WINS the battle.

Out of all the traffic strategies attracting organic search engine traffic (i.e. FREE TRAFFIC) should obviously be of interest to you! Since it is free and your potential customers tend to trust the authority a search engine assigns to your website – especially if it appears on Google Page 1.

One of the main strategies to get your site “discovered” (indexed) by the Search Engies is to utilize Social Media sites and Social Bookmarking. These strategies will maximize the exposure of your website and offers – to make More Money Online!

To maximize your results, you can not settle for just one Social Media or Social Bookmarking site, you need to use a strategy that includes a good sized selection and combination of Social Media and Social Bookmarking properties.

When you launch a new website, you need to do something to call the attention of the search engines to crawl and index it, and finally give it a place in the search results (rank it!). If you build a website and don’t drive attention to it, you are not going to have any organic traffic at all. You need to make sure you have the best possible visibility for your website.

So, to keep calling Google’s attention to your website, we want to make sure we are adding backlinks to it on a regular basis month after month after month. People often ask us “when do you stop promoting a website?” Our answer is “We only stop promoting a website when we want to stop making money from it!” Remember the word of the day: Consistency!

This consistent effort will show Google that you truly care about what you are promoting. Not only will you maintain your rankings – they will grow over time as a result. Website aging is one of the factors that affect Google ranks (Google LOVES crusty old domains!)

If you have a niche website and you are not receiving consistent traffic, pay attention to your marketing and promotion efforts. Usually, the main reason for limited success is lack of the right promotion and the lack of consistency.

Also understand that when we talk about promotion, we are talking at the page level. You must promote your websites page by page and keyword by keyword. And, you must build a Web 2.0 campaign around every long tail keyword relevant to your niche…And that is just the beginning of what it really takes to make real and consistent money online!

Most people understand the importance of one way links to their websites and Web 2.0 properties to get them to RANK. But, what many of them miss, or find out the hard way, is that one way links are not enough. One of the most important strategies to use is to promote the promoters (the social media sites). This type of strategy must be spread out over time, and you will see these pages rank!

To bookmark a website is an ongoing project. You only stop promoting when you don’t want any more traffic (and when you stop wanting to make money!). The way we look at it is: if you don’t care enough to continue promoting your websites on a regular basis, why would you expect Google to keep paying attention to you?

This type of an internet marketing strategy requires a lot of work and time. These days to have a real business, you need to leverage your time. There is a limit to how much a business can grow with the effort of a “single man army”.

We take the pain and work out of a Social Media campaign by creating and implementing a search and response type campaign instead of just posting social comments which can consume your time and give little or no results plus automating your Social Bookmarking campaign to leverage your time so you can concentrate your efforts on your business.

So if you are ready for a successful internet marketing campaign contact Skunkworks Marketing Solutions now and position your business as a leader in the industry.

Internet Marketing Agencies in West Palm Beach Explain Different Types of Lead Generation Systems

admin — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 23:18:06 +0000

Best Internet Marketing Agencies West Palm Beach, Florida

Lead generation system is basically defined as a marketing term for creation or generation of prospective customers’ interests or inquiry over a particular product or service, in which lead may contain different information about the targeted market that was grouped accordingly for variety of purposes, such as list building, e-newsletter list acquisition or for winning customers.

There are two types of lead generation according to purpose: sales leads which are generated on the basis of demographic criteria; which may vary according to targeted market’s age, income, gender and all other differentiation of individuals. On the other hand, marketing lead pertains to a brand-specific leads generated for a unique advertiser’s offer, usually sold only once.

Brought by technological advancement in this computer internet age, several approaches are now being taken for lead generation. Online lead generation, web marketing, email marketing and telemarketing are just few of the many processes that companies use nowadays. To have a more vivid understanding of these examples, let me discuss one of them, the most commonly used method is Email Marketing, a more direct marketing wherein the company owners or advertisers directly send communication to individual’s email. This might be a message from a previous service provider simply informing the recipient that they have enhanced their service, may also serve in procuring referrals, or just an additional advertisement sent by other companies.

Email Marketing has some advantages as much as the downside, too. A mailing list provides a wider range of specific potential customers, at a relatively lower cost compared to other media such as posted mails and printed newsletters. Delivery time of an email message is shorter as it is done over the internet, unlike actual printed newsletter/mails which takes days before it reaches the doorstep of prospective customers. And since this is done over the internet, advertisers can repeat sending communications as much as they want to, while email users do surely check their respective emails daily.

On the downside, email marketing being sent as unsolicited bulk email, is now known as Spam. This is in order to protect the individual email users from being invaded by unwanted internet attackers. In response to this, opt-in marketing evolved. It is when an advertiser asks for the consent of the end user prior to sending of email containing marketing messages. And this usually leads to a higher customer-seller relationship.

In this age of technological progresses, more businesses do operate on and utilize the internet, and lead generation systems have been increasingly popular in generating higher sales volumes and faster and fatter return on investment. Internet Marketing Agencies in West Palm Beach are using many of these different types of lead generation systems in combination to build powerful automatic marketing funnels that provide an endless stream of qualified, targeted, buyers. It is just a matter of creativity on how these systems can be used. Contact the Best Internet Marketing Agencies in West Palm Beach and Miami Florida before your competitor does.

Internet Marketing Agencies in West Palm Beach Examine Lead Generation

Best Internet Marketing Agencies West Palm Beach, Florida

Let me first discuss to you the definition of a lead generation system for internet marketing agencies. It is the utilization of a computer program, a software perhaps, or database over the internet or a specialized service, done to obtain or receive viable information that are purposely generated for expanding the business’ scope and for further increase of revenues. The specified piece of information is known as the “lead” and there should be a system as means of finding them in vast internet world.

Provided that lead generation is mainly for business expansion and increasing of revenues, it is clearly stated that it means getting more and more potential customers interested to buy what is offered to them. Therefore, leads contain the names; addresses/email addresses and contact information of people, of a corporation, institution or agency, which have used the internet.

Now, how useful is lead generation to businesses using internet as medium for their operations? Lead generation creates potential customer interest towards the products and services of a particular business. It is more described as marketing activity aiming to increase sales opportunities for the company. It enhances and provides wider market reach and enters the market at a definite low cost. The most critical part of lead generation is the capability of defining the core values of the product offering and spreading the message to the right person, and driving the customer’s attention to purchase and availability of what is offered to them.

A good lead generation system should have a clearly defined Unique Selling Proposition (USP), the main reason why potential customers chooses to deal with you and not otherwise. USP must be evident in your marketed product and services in order to gain customer’s confidence in choosing you over the others. Next aspect is target market, each product and services must have its specific targeted market, as right things should be catered to right persons only, otherwise you will deal with nothing and waste resources if you target the wrong target market. Targeting market is simply categorizing the market; you group them according to a particular description of who they are, you may group them according to their age, gender, income brackets and location.

After identifying the target market, a well developed lead generator can now function. It can be something that your prospect must keep holding onto. It can be a gift or a prize upon preceding the sales process. Your goal is to get the right message right there in front of the prospective buyer and encourage them to act on your offer by taking the next step which is to contact you. You should then provide ways of how they can do that like sending you an email, visit your website or request for more information about your product and services offered.

What Does ICANN Have to Do With the Domain Names I Buy?

admin — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 14:57:43 +0000

ICANN is a private, non-profit technical coordination body for the Internet’s name and numbering systems. On September 29, 2006, ICANN signed a new agreement with the United States Department of Commerce (DOC) that is a step forward toward the full management of the Internet’s system of centrally coordinated identifiers through the multi-stakeholder model of consultation that ICANN represents.

Paul Twomey has been the President/CEO of ICANN since March 27, 2003. As of November 3, 2007, Peter Dengate Thrush replaced Vint Cerf as Chairman of the ICANN Board of Directors.

Participation in ICANN is open to all who have an interest in global Internet policy as it relates to ICANN’s mission of technical coordination. ICANN provides many online forums which are accessible through ICANN’s website, and the Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees have active mailing lists for participants. Additionally, ICANN holds public meetings throughout the year.

ICANN holds periodic public meetings rotated between continents for the purpose of encouraging global participation in its processes. Critics argue that the locations of these meetings are often in countries with lower Internet usage and far away from locations that the majority of the Internet-using public can afford to reach. This makes public input or participation from traditional Internet users less likely. Supporters reply that ICANN has a worldwide presence, and a key part of its mission is to build Internet use where it is weak.

ICANN established market competition for generic domain name (gTLD) registrations resulting in a lowering of domain name costs by 80% and saving consumers and businesses over US$1 billion annually in domain registration fees.

There are currently three Supporting Organizations. The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) deals with policy making on generic top-level domains (gTLDs). The Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) deals with policy making on country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs). The Address Supporting Organization (ASO) deals with policy making on IP addresses.

Working in coordination with the appropriate technical communities and stakeholders, ICANN adopted guidelines for the deployment of Internationalized Domain Names (IDN), opening the way for registration of domains in hundreds of the world’s languages.

In 2005-6, four new additional sponsored TLDs (.cat, .jobs, .mobi, and .travel) were successfully launched. ICANN’s GSNO is currently developing policy recommendations for introduction of additional gTLDs.

ICANN implemented a Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP), which has been used to resolve more than 5000 disputes over the rights to domain names. The UDRP is designed to be efficient and cost effective.

With the deployment of IPv6, the new IP address numbering protocol, global network interoperability continues to be a primary mission for ICANN.

In response to community concerns over privacy and accessibility, ICANN is hosting several workshops regarding Whois, the public database of domain name registrations.

What is ICANN?

admin — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 14:55:19 +0000

ICANN is a private, non-profit technical coordination body for the Internet’s name and numbering systems.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is an internationally organized, non-profit corporation that has responsibility for Internet Protocol (IP) address space allocation, protocol identifier assignment, generic (gTLD) and country code (ccTLD) Top-Level Domain name system management, and root server system management functions. These services were originally performed under U.S. Government contract by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and other entities. ICANN now performs the IANA function.

As a private-public partnership, ICANN is dedicated to preserving the operational stability of the Internet; to promoting competition; to achieving broad representation of global Internet communities; and to developing policy appropriate to its mission through bottom-up, consensus-based processes.

ICANN is responsible for coordinating the management of the technical elements of the DNS to ensure universal resolvability so that all users of the Internet can find all valid addresses. It does this by overseeing the distribution of unique technical identifiers used in the Internet’s operations, and delegation of Top-Level Domain names (such as .com, .info, etc.).

Other issues of concern to Internet users, such as the rules for financial transactions, Internet content control, unsolicited commercial email (spam), and data protection are outside the range of ICANN’s mission of technical coordination.

Within ICANN’s structure, governments and international treaty organizations work in partnership with businesses, organizations, and skilled individuals involved in building and sustaining the global Internet. Innovation and continuing growth of the Internet bring forth new challenges for maintaining stability. Working collectively, ICANN’s participants address those issues that directly concern ICANN’s mission of technical coordination. Consistent with the principle of maximum self-regulation in the high-tech economy, ICANN is perhaps the foremost example of collaboration by the various constituents of the Internet community.

ICANN is governed by an internationally diverse Board of Directors overseeing the policy development process. ICANN’s President directs an international staff, working from three continents, who ensure that ICANN meets its operational commitment to the Internet community.

Designed to respond to the demands of rapidly changing technologies and economies, the flexible, readily implemented policy development process originates in the three Supporting Organizations. Advisory Committees from individual user organizations, and technical communities work with the Supporting Organizations to create appropriate and effective policies. Over eighty governments closely advise the Board of Directors via the Governmental Advisory Committee.

Should I Certify the Domain Names I Buy?

admin — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 14:00:55 +0000

Some domain name registrar’s offer a process that will certify the domain names you buy.

A Certified domain provides the owner’s Web site with a certified seal that alerts customers that the owner is the legal originator of the domain. This feature eases customer concerns and assures them that vendors are who they say they are.

When you apply for the Certified Domain authorization and validation process it serves to verify that the certificate requester is the registrant of the domain for which the certificate is being requested. It also checks to verify the Who is database contains accurate and valid contact information for the Administrative, Technical, and Registrant contacts. Fraud screening is usually included in the process. Normally every 2 years the Certified Domain authorization and validation process is completed.

Anyone who has a domain registered can apply for a Certified Domain. To successfully process the application and issue the seal control the domain in question must be verified along with the requester’s contact information.

Using an automated and manual processes, if the verifier is unable to locate contact information for the domain administrator, the Certified Domain request is denied.

If the domain administrator, technical contact, or registrant rejects the Certified Domain request upon receiving a domain authorization email message, the request is denied. All recipients of the domain authorization message must approve the request.

If fraud screening for the domain in question raises valid suspicion of fraud, the Certified Domain is denied.

Sometimes the automated phone call cannot be completed or no valid phone number is submitted or the requestor fails to answer the phone, the Certified Domain request is then denied.

A Certified Domain validation is issued for a particular domain name, and the Domain Origination Certified seal is added to the Whois listing for that domain name. Therefore, regardless of the Web site associated with the domain name, the Certified Domain authorization and validation continue to apply to that domain name.

If the registration for a domain that has been validated expires before the Domain Origination Certified seal is set to expire, the Domain Origination Certified seal is terminated with the expiration of the domain registration.

Though relying on somewhat similar authentication procedures, including verification of requester’s contact information and domain registration control, SSL certificates and a Certified Domain serve different purposes.

An SSL certificate enables a secure, encrypted connection between a visitor’s Web browser and a Web site’s server, thus keeping transactions safe from tampering and interception. A Certified Domain simply informs Web site visitors that the registration and control of the Web site’s domain name has been validated. A Certified Domain does not establish a secure connection.

Once processed and issued, a Domain Origination Certified seal is added to the Whois listing for your domain. In addition, you are provided with HTML code that you can copy and paste into your Web site’s source code, so that the Domain Origination Certified seal appears on your site.

This information should help give you an idea if you need to certify the domain names you buy.

How To Choose Domain Names

admin — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 17:02:09 +0000

Domain names are used like an address to find websites on the internet. There is a lot of controversy on how to choose the best domain names. Some people think the domain names should reflect the business and some people say it doesn’t matter, you only need domain names that are easy to remember. Actually both of these ideas need to be considered when you purchase a domain name.

Because domain names are only registered one time for a certain number of years you need to choose your domain names carefully. If you can find domain names to buy that are relevant, these are always a good choice. Remember though many times domain names are used in advertising that is offline and people will need to be able to remember these to type into the address bar when they are at their computer.

This is why picking domain names that are easy to remember and spell are always the best choice. Think about the confusion of using a number or a word that can be spelled multiple ways. If you do choose something that can fall into this trap always register all variations of the name so you won’t lose traffic to misspellings.

There are also many extensions to choose from the .com, .info, .net, .org to name a few. Always remember most people think .com when they think internet. They can hear. Org or .net and even see these extensions but type in .com out of habit. People have been trained to think .com when they think internet. Because of this it is always a good idea to get all the extensions and any possible misspellings of the name. If you don’t and then build up a large traffic flow someone is bound to notice this and profit from your traffic.

Lately new extensions like .tv and .me plus recently .in is being offered. These extensions can be used in a variety of ways to complement the .com version. Many people will search for a name and find the .com is taken so they will choose the .net or .info because they were set on that particular name. This is a very unwise practice, it is best to choose an entirely different name so you can get the .com, because people will type your address into the bar with a .com and the other website will get your traffic.

Many sites that sell domain names will offer suggestions or variations to a .com name that is taken. I have often found better more relevant names using this technique. So always keep your choices open while searching and always do keyword research first to try and get domain names that contain the keyword you plan to target.

Who Else Wants a Business at Home to Make Money Online?

admin — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 03:40:57 +0000

Starting a business at home so you can make money online is a very smart financial move to make right now with this unstable economy. The internet gives you the ability to reach millions of people with a domain name costing approximately $10 per year, a web hosting account which can be as little as $4 per month and some knowledge which can be obtained free with time invested to learn it or you can pay internet marketing agencies to create and implement the best internet marketing strategies to obtain your goal.

How much time will you be able to invest in your new business every day?

The answer is a key consideration on what type of business you should choose.

Becoming an affiliate is much easier in the beginning because there is no product to ship. It is all handled by the company and you just drive traffic to their page. Many people become discouraged because driving traffic straight to the company page has a very low conversion rate for many reasons.

For this to work you must build your own landing page with sales copy to pre frame and pre sell the customer before they are redirected to the company page with an area to collect contact info to begin to build your list. You will find a much higher conversion rate driving traffic this way.

If you have a product you make yourself or buy and want to resell you will need to ship it which will require you to invest more time and labor. Figure these into the cost of the product when you decide on the selling price. Your shipping will also vary when shipped internationally.

Availability is also a consideration if you are going to market your own product. Remember you have the ability to reach a very large amount of people so make sure you are prepared to supply the demand, you may receive, on a timely manner.

Using online marketing campaigns like PPC can be stopped at any time and the traffic will stop, but these campaigns can become costly very quick during the testing phase. If you are on Google page 1 in the organic search results you will not be able to stop this traffic if you are unable to get product. It is also free traffic and something you can spend months developing, so you don’t really want to stop this kind of traffic.

Also when you sell your own product consider the time spent on customer service, which will be necessary. Being an affiliate the company will take care of all these responsibilities for you normally.

Whichever way you choose to start your business at home to make money online the key is you will need to either learn or pay internet marketing agencies to create internet marketing strategies to drive traffic to your sales page.

The more traffic that comes to your site the more chance you have to sell something and with good testing software you can find out which parts of your site must be optimized for maximum results.

You are the only one that can determine if you should learn internet marketing strategies or if you should pay internet marketing agencies to handle this part. Ask yourself “What Is My Time Worth?” and “How Quickly Do I Want to Get Started with a Business at Home to Make Money Online?”
