Many people are interested in making easy money on the internet
these days, but many just don’t know how to do it. Of course, no
matter what online business you are going into you will have to
learn a few things about that particular business. Be also
prepared to spend some money to get your business started. In my
opinion affiliate marketing is the easiest and cheapest way to
starting an online home business, and it won’t take long before
you start earning some money.

An affiliate program simply means that you sign up as an
affiliate marketer for someone else’s product, send the company
customers, and get a cut each time a sale is made from your
efforts. Affiliate commissions can range from as little as 2% for
high ticket items up to 70% for ebooks and informational type
products. The great advantage of this kind of online business is
that there is no hassle mailing goods to customers, taking
payments etc. You just send customers to the company, and the
company send you money in return. Voilà!

You can market the product(s) through your own website or blog,
or just by advertising your affiliate link, or email your list if
you have one. You can do fine without a website of your own, but
I do recommend that you set up one because you have much more
freedom to do lots of things with your own website.

One of the most appealing aspects of affiliate programs is how
quickly you can begin making money. You can literally sign up as
an affiliate and begin making money in minutes. Your earnings can
be very good with affiliate programs if you pick the right
product and do your part to promote it. As for which programs
would be best for you, I advise that you concentrate your efforts
on one or two products instead of spreading too much. Pick only
top quality products that are of personal interest to you.
Remember, you are starting a business. If it’s not a business
that holds your interest, you won’t be in business very long.

Even though you might be a novice on the internet it’s quite easy
to get started. The best choice is to join an affiliate program
and take advantage of the marketing resources they provide. Then
you will have the opportunity to earn while you learn as well as
your learning curve is shortened. This way you will be in
business fast and start earning money almost immediately.

affiliate marketing is an excellent source of passive income. And
best of all, you can earn this income while sitting in the
comfort of your home. You can work flexi-time, go away on
vacation, and the money will still continue to roll in. In fact
you can have the whole business on automation! Except the
marketing part. Your job as an affiliate is to promote your
partner’s product, and the more effort you put into it, the
higher your earnings.

Did you know that some people purchase PLR (private label rights) products and
don’t take advantage of all of the income opportunities that may be lurking
inside those products? GASP!

It’s true. I’m even a little guilty of letting products sit on my hard drive too long. Shhhhh!

Today we are going to talk about some ways that you can uncover opportunities hidden
inside the PLR that you may not even realize are there. So you don’t waste a
golden opportunity by not taking full advantage of the PLR.

First we have the obvious. You can buy PLR products and resell them as is.
I do this a lot. As I’m sure you’ve noticed.

This is certainly one of the easiest ways to make money with PLR products.
It allows you to recoup your investment quickly. PLR products that come with
sales pages for the products are a goldmine because it cuts your workload down
and increases the value of the product.

This method is fairly easy. Buy the product, upload the files to your website.
Do a few quick edits, add in your payment links and you are ready to start selling.

Next, you can buy PLR products, combine several of them and sell them as a package.
This takes a little extra work but it’s worth it because you can usually charge more for
the products. If you decide to create your own bundle you will need to create a sales
page to go with it. It is also a good idea to give your bundle a catchy name that will
make it stand out from the crowd.

And of course you can buy PLR products and edit them to meet your needs and the
needs of your list, and then sell them. This takes a bit of extra time but it’s worth it,
because what you end up with is a product that spreads your name and links everywhere
it goes.

To do this, you take the source files to your PLR products and edit them to reflect
your own thoughts and views. Add in links to your websites, products or affiliate
products and then rename the product and create a PDF of your new product.
It is also a good idea to create a sales page and new graphics for your new
product so that it will have a nice new look when it hits the marketplace.

To Increase the value and the price that you can charge for your newly
created products you can offer your customers the resale rights to your new
product, so that they can sell it too. This will give them a nice incentive to
pass along your product with all of your links inside. If you want to get fancy
you can also offer them the opportunity to rebrand the links inside with their
own affiliate links after they join your affiliate program. This again increases
the price that you can charge for your product.

Now here is where things get interesting. You can take your PLR products and
edit them and then sell the newly edited version as a PLR product itself.

When you do this, you will need to not only create a PDF file of the product, but
also a Word or text file, new graphics and possibly a sales letter, so that your customers
will have a true PLR product themselves. This takes a bit more effort on your part, but
again it pays off in the end, because you can charge more when you sell the PLR rights.

Ok this is getting long winded and now that we have covered the basics I’m going to
leave you with a few more quick ideas on ways that you can use PLR content.

You can use it …

- To build your subscriber list.
- To create free reports.
- Create your own Ecourse’s or training classes.
- Create a series of free tips.
- Create bonuses for your other products.
- Add the content to your website and blog or membership site.
- Create content for your newsletter.
- As a basis for your own teleseminar.
- To increase your search engine rankings.
- To create passive income from Google adsense sites.
- To promote affiliate programs.
- To create tangible products like CDs or DVDs.
- Create a video articles or a video training series.

And the list could go on…

There are many more ways that you can use PLR content, With a little bit of ingenuity
and elbow grease, but if you’ve made it all the way down here I’m pretty sure you
have a good idea of what you’re going to do next.

Make your PLR’s work for you!

Howdy Folks.

You finally see the light and you realize that you need an opt-in list to make money on the Internet. You’ve read hundreds of times ‘the money is in the list’. You’ve heard all the stories of people creating a profitable business with opt-in lists.

With that light bulb still flashing away you decide to do something about it – start a list of your own. But what’s the first step? And better yet, how do you build a list big enough to generate an income?

It’s a bit daunting when you’re first starting out.

a) Do you need a web site?

b) Do you need an Opt-In form?

c) Should you use an autoresponder service or free script?

d) How should you format the messages?

e) How many should you send each week?

And the list goes on and on.

Much depends on how experienced you are on the Internet. If you have no knowledge of CGI or PHP, then hosting your own script may not be an option. If you don’t know HTML or don’t have direct access to your on-line files, then editing your pages to insert the code for an opt-in form will not be possible.

Sadly, these are just some of the obstacles that you will need to overcome if you want to give this ‘Internet Thing’ a fair shake. Having your own web site is a good thing, but not absolutely necessary, but sooner or later will be a smart move. Without one, you would only be able to promote other people’s products (as they would have their own web sites for you to send traffic to through your affiliate links). However, getting a free Blog for starters is always an option. Try Google’s Blogger for example. You can add your opt-in form on your blog!

Here are three easy steps that you can take to start building your opt-in list right now:

1. Offer a free report or video that contains links back to your web site/blog.You can also make it necessary for your visitors to fill out your opt-in form before they can access the report.

2. Join some of the Fire Sales and Giveaways that other marketers are running (sometimes called Joint Ventures). Add your gift to the site and when visitors want to download your gift make them fill out your opt-in form first. Haven’t got a gift? PLR products are your answer.

3. Exchange ads with other opt-in list owners. You run an ad for them and they run an ad for you. Granted you probably won’t be able to join up with someone who has a huge list (as they won’t be getting much exposure in return) but if you can find other lists that are of a similar size to yours, you should be able to dance with them.

Building a responsive, profitable opt-in list won’t happen overnight, but it will happen. Keep at it and be creative. Think outside of the box; put a twist on an old idea. And most of all – be persistent.

I thought you should about a membership site that I have found to be, bar none, worth 100 times more than the price of admission!

Did you know that the # 1 key to online success is the ability to generate traffic and visitors to the web-site(s) of your choice? And conversly, the reason that most online businesses fail is that they LACK the ability to generate traffic?

I’m willing to bet YOUR online business could use a significant stream of additional FREE traffic. Am I right? If so, keep reading!…

Internet marketing experts agree that the BEST way to generate unlimited FREE online traffic is through the proper utilization of *articles and content*.

As an InfoGoRound.com (IGR) member you have the ULTIMATE article content resource right at your fingertips! In fact, IGR guarantees $3,000 – $4,000 worth of brand new, freshly written content each and every month (we add *at least* 100-200 new articles per month)! And this isn’t just any content. It’s *PRIVATE LABEL* content, meaning you can use the articles we provide in an almost endless variety of ways just as if YOU’D written them yourself! …You can modify them; add to them; insert your own affiliate links; attach YOUR resource box and web-site link to the bottom; submit them to article directories, blogs, and newsletter publishers; and even sign YOUR name as author!

HOW TO GENERATE *MILLIONS* OF FREE VISITORS WITH IGR’S PRIVATE LABEL ARTICLE CONTENT!!!

Following is a quick list of just a FEW of the many ways that you can begin generating unlimited FREE traffic with IGR’s private label articles…

1. Boost your search engine ranking and daily visitor count by posting keyword rich articles and content on your web-site. For example, if your business involves offering products and services related to fitness, posting fitness related articles and content will attract unlimited prospective customers on a regular basis!

Search or Browse IGR’s article database to find articles suited to your niche. IGR features articles on the most popular, in-demand topics online! If you can’t find articles that suit your intended niche within IGR, you may want to consider a more popular topic. To succeed online, you want to tap into EXISTING demand (topics and niches that people are already interested in), rather than trying to *create* a demand. (That is a VERY important key that many people miss!)

2. Generate double or even triple the number of newsletter subscribers you do currently, simply by offering content in the form of “special reports” or manuals as bonuses for subscribing to your publication. People LOVE freebies, so give them what they want and watch as your results increase! Did you know that you can COMPILE IGR article content to create lengthier training courses; special reports; ebooks; and more?!

By the way, you can also double or triple your AFFILIATE sales and commissions by offering special bonuses to your prospects. Special reports make great bonuses! Use IGR to compile *unlimited* special reports on a wide variety of popular topics!

3. Create an automated cashflow by using IGR content to formulate multi-part email training courses with related web-site or affiliate links “sprinkled” throughout each course. Use an autoresponder service to automate the delivery of your training course (such as a 5 part training course delivered over a 5 day period).

(Training courses can also serve as excellent bonus offers for your prospective newsletter subscribers.)

4. Another VERY important key to a successful online business is not JUST having a (mailing or newsletter) list of subscribers…

It’s about building a trusting RELATIONSHIP with your subscribers (ie, “cultivating” your list)…

By sending informative articles (content) to your list on a regular basis you will establish yourself as an expert on your topic of business, as well as gain the trust of your subscribers over time. As a result, your subscribers will be EAGER to take advantage of your “paid” product and service offers. (Just make sure that you NEVER take advantage of the relationship you develop with your list by offering products or services of poor quality just to make a quick buck!)

If there is one “constant” in Internet marketing, it’s this: A cultivated list of subscribers is as good as money in the bank. Write that down and never forget it!

As an IGR member, you can find quality articles to send to your list in SECONDS, any time you need them! No need to spend hours writing your own. And no need to pay a freelance writer $15-25 *per article*. Remember, with IGR you receive *thousands of dollars worth* of fresh new articles every month!

5. Another excellent way to generate no cost traffic is by submitting ready-made articles to “content hungry” web-site and newsletter publishers with your “resource box” attached. A resource box is nothing more than a little 3-6 line “bio” about you and/or your web-site – including a link to your site (or even instructions on how to subscribe to your newsletter)…

When submitting or offering your article(s) for reprint purposes, just make sure to specify that each article is to be reprinted “as is” with your resource box attached.

IGR’s *private label* content is PERFECT for the above use. (Remember, the “private label” aspect gives you the right to modify the content; insert your own affiliate links; add your own resource box; etc. etc. Private label content is the only way to go if you’re serious about succeeding online!)

…Even one article can go a LONG way towards generating no cost traffic and visitors for you. Just imagine your article being sent out to a newsletter subscriber base of 100,000 individuals – many of whom will be reading YOUR included resource box and clicking on your URL to learn more about what you have to offer!

Well there you have it. Five sure ways to build your online business exponentially by utilizing InfoGoRound.com articles and content…

With the declining effectiveness of many of the online advertising methods that we’ve relied on in past years, content is only strengthening its position as the ultimate KEY to generating unlimited FREE traffic, subscribers, and customers!

Never forget, TRAFFIC = PROFITS! As long as you have an offer that people are willing to buy, whether it be your own product, an affiliate product, or even Google Adsense listings, traffic is as good as cash!

Clearly, it’s a big ‘Thumbs Up’ for IGR!

Here for Your Success,

Bob Kimball

P.S. As powerful as IGR is when it comes to FREE traffic generation, don’t forget all the *other* ways you can benefit with our content: Information product creation …newsletter articles … blog messages … forum posts … web-site creation … training courses … special reports … off line publication … the list is endless!

It’s no wonder that IGR’s member base is growing by leaps and bounds, and that people regard IGR as their “ultimate” Internet marketing resource!

The best part is, IGR doesn’t have to cost you a DIME thanks to our Patent Pending Cash for Content Program. The irony is, we could easily charge $197+ per month for the type of value we provide, and people would happily pay — considering the fact that we *guarantee* $3,000 – $4,000 worth of fresh new private label content each month .. content which YOU could turn into tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of traffic and sales! But, our mission was (and will always be) to make IGR affordable to *anyone*!

IGR truly is the King of Content, and your KEY to online success!

An important part of generating traffic to your website or blog is to
rank highly in the search engine result pages. In addition to having
good, relevant content on your site one of the best ways to increase
your search ranking is to get high quality backlinks to your site.

Backlinks are hyperlinks placed on another website which link to your
site. The most powerful backlinks are one-way backlinks. This means that
another website has links pointing to your site, but you don’t have
reciprocal links pointing back to theirs.

Using forums is a great way to get high quality one-way backlinks to
your site. These links can generate direct traffic to your site, as
people browsing the forum click your links in addition to raising your
search engine ranking. But you have to be careful when using forums in
this way. Do it wrong and you will be branded a spammer and most likely
get your forum account closed. But if done correctly, forums can be a
very powerful tool in your traffic generation arsenal.

Step 1: Find relevant forums
The key word here is ‘relevant’. You want to be sure to find forums
related to your niche – the topic of your website. The easiest way to do
this is to go to Google and type in your topic along with the the word
‘forum’. Let’s say you have a blog on coin collecting. You’d type this
into Google:

coin collecting forum

There are two reasons you want to find forums related to your niche.
First, the search engines will usually give more weight to links
pointing to your site if they come from sites centered around the same
niche as your site. Secondly, you’ll get much more direct traffic from a
forum where the members are interested in your niche.

Step 2: Pick the best forums and join them
Now that you have found some forums you need to check them out and
choose which ones to join. Click the links to visit about half a dozen
of the top search results. Most forums will allow you to view the
content without having to join, it’s only when you want to start posting
that you have to register. If you land on a forum that won’t let you
view unless you join, forget it and move on.

When looking for a forum to join you want to find ones that are popular,
so look for those with a decent number of members. You also need to make
sure those members are active. Go into one of the more popular forums
categories and scan down the list of threads to see when the last
posting was made. This information is usually in the right hand column
of the forum threads table. If you see a lot of posts made in the last
24 hours, you’ve found a forum with lots of active members. With the
content changing this often, the search engines should be all over that
forum, which means that your links will get picked up quickly. Search
engines tend to love sites with lots of frequently updated, relevant
content. This is the type of forum you want to join.

Now there is just one more step before joining. You need to make sure
this forum allows you to have a ‘signature’. Jump into one of the more
popular threads on the forum. Scroll down and look at the posts to see
if anyone has a signature showing at the bottom of their post. There
will usually be a horizontal line after the body of the post and some
text and/or links underneath it. Often people just have a quote or witty
saying, but sometimes they will have links as well. Not everyone will
have a signature, but try to find some members who do. Signatures are
crucial, because this is where you are going to put the links to your
site.

When you find a forum that meets the criteria, follow the steps to
register and confirm your membership. If you find just three or four
forums that’s plenty to start with.

Step 3: Set up your signature
After you login to the forum you should see a link to your user profile.
Often this will be called ‘User CP’ or ‘User Profile’. In the user
profile area you can edit things like your avatar, your bio and
preferences. Look for a link that says something like ‘Edit signature’
and click that. You’ll see a text field where you can type in the text
you want to appear beneath all your posts. This is where you’ll put the
backlinks to your site.

Forums use a special kind of code to allow members to format their
posts. It’s called BBCode and it’s quite simple to use once you get the
hang of it. Copy the examples below and change the URL and text to your
URL and some catchy keyword-rich text. Paste the code into you signature
box and save it.

Link to your website or blog with this code:

Learn how to start [url=http://www.mycoinblog.com/]Coin Collecting[/url]
the easy way.

You can see in the code above where you need to edit the domain to be
your domain. In this example, ‘Coin Collecting’ will be the anchor text
for the link. This is where you want to put your keywords. Almost all
forums will allow you to have a link in your signature.

If you want to make your signature bold, just add the bold tags around
it like this:

[b]Learn how to start [url=http://www.mycoinblog.com/]Coin
Collecting[/url] the easy way.[/b]

Most forums will allow you to bold the text in your signature. If you
add the bold code and your signature still doesn’t come out in bold then
it’s you know the bold formatting is not allowed.

Some forums will also allow you to change the color of the text,
although the anchor text will come out as the default link color,
usually blue. Here’s how you change the text color:

[color=red]Learn how to start [url=http://www.mycoinblog.com/]Coin
Collecting[/url] the easy way.[/color]

You can also combine formatting. This would make your signature red and
bold (except for the link text which will usually be blue bold).

[color=red][b]Learn how to start [url=http://www.mycoinblog.com/]Coin
Collecting[/url] the easy way.[/b][/color]

One final tip for creating your signature. Less is more. If you make
your signature look spamming people will treat you like a spammer. You
don’t have to use up all available lines in your signature. Make it
short, sweet and to the point. If you post great content and people are
interested they will click your link.

Step 4: Participate!
The first three steps were all preparation. Now you get to start
creating backlinks to your site! It’s simple, just participate in the
forum. Post good content, ask questions. Try to help people out by
answering questions. Be nice, be helpful.

Every post you make will give you a backlink to your site. The higher
the quality of your post, the more powerful your backlink will be, at
least in Google. Because Google looks at the text surrounding a link to
determine the relevancy of a link having good content in your posts is
much more valuable than having a post that says something like, “great
post, I agree”. If you simply participate in the forum and try to be
friendly and helpful chances are your content will take care of itself.

That’s it. Have fun. And remember, you can change your signature any
time you want. You might changing the text a bit from time to time to
find out what generates the most clicks through to your site.
