On this day, I am going to lightly touch on video marketing.  I know video marketing may sound a little intimidating, but there are a lot of different ways to do it. 
The most obvious way is if you already have a camcorder.
Write yourself a little script, it can just be an article that you wrote on your niche. Just come up with some bulletpoints, mention the product you are promoting on your site, etc…
If you don’t have a camcorder, you can use your webcam if you have one.

I’ve always had a soft spot for article marketing.  It could be because that’s what got me started in this business.  You can read more about it in my book “Lens Bumming” (top right hand corner of the page).
Even though I don’t do as much article marketing as I used to, (and when I do, I outsource it) I still think it’s a very effective way to get free traffic.
Not only do you get direct traffic from it, but you are also adding backlinks to your website.
I know many of …

I’ve run this subject to the ground by now, but there is a reason for it.  It’s important.   We all know the value of links and why there are so important to getting direct traffic or search engine traffic.  Well, in this post I want talk just a little bit about link baiting.
Link baiting is exactly as it sounds.  You want to bait another website into linking to your site.  The best way to do it is simply with the content that’s on your website or blog. Let’s take a …

Well, we’ve just recently hit a brand a new year.  Hell….we have a new decade.  It’s amazing how far technology and the internet has come since the beginning of 2000.  We seem to be light years ahead of where we used to be.
Now, I have no idea what Internet Marketing is going to be like by 2020, but I thought I would get the old magic 8 ball and predict what will happen in 2010.  Hopefully I’ll be at least 50% right on these.  Either way, it’s going to …

If you are planning on dedicating a site to selling one specific product, then obviously you are going to need to
know how to write a sales page. I’ve certainly written my fair share, although I wouldn’t call myself an expert copyrighter.  But I can certainly provide tips for the way that I write a sales letter.
By the way, if you get really good at copyrighting, not only are you going to make money on your projects, but you can charge other people to write sales pages for them.  And …

If you maintain focus, there is no reason why you can’t have a consistent link building plan of attack, which you can do a fairly consistent basis. The end result can be a massive increase in traffic to your website through organic search engine traffic or even direct traffic.
Start off with blog comments.
Not only are you obviously getting backlinks to your site, which will help your SERPs, but you might even get some direct clicks.  Visit some of the most popular blogs in your given niche.  Then read (REALLY …

Well….unless you’ve been living under the rock for the last couple of years, I’m sure you must have heard of social bookmarking sites.  Basically, they are just sites that you can bookmark a web page on for other people to see.  For example, if you find a blog post with something interesting that you may think other people would be interested in, you bookmark it to a social bookmark site, and the other people on the site are able to check it out.  If they like it, they can give …

A great way to promote something is to just simply create a blog. Unlike a traditional, static website, blogs allow you to add your own personality or opinions to whatever the subject matter may be. 
But you can’t expect to have that “Field Of Dreams” moment….you know….. “if you write it, they will come”.  It doesn’t work like that.  I don’t care what the subject matter is or how good of a writer you are.
