I want to show you a technique in order to generate traffic to your websites.  Everyone talks about pay-per-click. Where most people stop for the most part is with Google, AdWords and Yahoo.  There are a lot of other pay-per-click search engines out there and most people don’t pay attention to any of them.  You can go to one website to find them all.

It’s very simple actually, it’s located at  www.payperclicksearchengines.com.  If you go there, you’ll see this is a site that lists 198 different pay-per-click search engines that are out in the marketplace as of the time this article was written.  You can go there and view all of the different pay-per-click search engines.  They have an entire directory where they tell you what each one is about, how they work and they even review many of the search engines.

They give you their 10 most popular picks.  To give you an idea of what they currently recommend, and in the order that they recommend them is:

• Google AdWords
• Yahoo, Yahoo search marketing
• Miva
• Enhance
• GoClick
• MSN AdCenter
• 7Search
• Search123
• SearchFeed
• ABCSearch

The two you want to pay attention to, aside from Google and Yahoo, are Miva and Enhance. Enhance has been around for a long time and Miva has, as well. Those two are  very up and coming pay-per-click search engines, and they have a lot going for them.

You can see a full review on PayPerClickSearchEngines.com.

Before you go spend money on advertising that your not sure about, go there and read reviews on the various pay-per-click search engines.  This is a huge resource if you’re going to do any type of pay-per-click advertising.  It’s free, it’s easy to get to, and they’ve done all the research for you already.

Don’t spend all your money at Yahoo and Google. Look at some of the other options you have available.  You’d be surprised at the other places you will find you can use to drive more traffic to your website.

Remember that Yahoo and Google still don’t cover the entire Internet. They’re a big part of the Internet, but there are plenty of other services that have a wide reach and also quite honestly less competition.

Less competition means there will be a lower amount that you’ll have to pay per click.  You might not get quite as much traffic as Yahoo but if you’re using two, three or four others you’ll be surprised at how much more traffic you can get.  For example, many people don’t even know MSN AdCenter exists.

Many people haven’t ever used it because their interface seems to be a little bit more complicated but other than that issue, it’s still going to drive a lot of traffic to you.  Think about it, if you’re advertising on MSN and all their various affiliated sites, they have as much traffic as many other search engines, but less people are using it. Therefore, you can make more money, That’s a big tip right there that you need to take advantage of.

Find alternative sources of traffic generation. If you can add more traffic to your website and spend less to get that traffic, think about how far ahead of the competition you will be. Think about how much more money you will keep in your pocket.

Don’t get hung up on the norm. Step outside of your advertising box, step outside the normal Google and Yahoo pay-per-click engines and find new alternative ways to drive traffic to your site.

eBooks offer a myriad of advantages to the Internet Marketer. A good idea for an eBook can explode your income. The best thing about publishing your own eBook is that not only can you earn a steady income by selling it, but you can also market all of your other products through the same eBook.

The primary reason to create and publish your own eBook is to make money. eBooks that are informative and focused sell very well. If the eBook’s subject has a market, people will be willing to buy it.

One of the major benefits of selling eBooks is that anyone with or without prior experience can create a book and with proper marketing strategies, build a huge customer base.

The key is building credibility with your eBooks. Once this is done, it would be very easy to make new as well as follow-up sales. eBooks can lead to a variety of other opportunities for your business. They also serve as great marketing tools and can be used to attract customers for your other products or services.

One of the biggest benefits of publishing your own eBook is that getting published is easier. The costs involved in traditional publishing are high and publishers are
extremely selective in what books they accept. Therefore, the percentage of authors who eventually succeed in getting their work published is extremely low.

Electronic publishing has removed much of the risk and costs attached to print publishing. The result being a far greater percentage of would be authors are now able to get published.

EBooks can be produced at a very low cost and high margin. Because the costs of electronic publishing are significantly lower, an author can expect to receive a higher percentage of the income derived from the sale of an eBook.

In fact, should authors decide to pay for the creation of their eBook up front and distribute the work themselves, they get to keep all the profits. Once you recover your costs such as editing and designing, they have a profit margin of almost 100%. This is enormous.

This is aided by the fact that eBooks eliminate shipping and inventory costs. You can
update and sell the same eBook for years and derive income out of it. The cost
for revising an eBook is minimal. Besides, creating an eBook does not require
technical knowledge. Anyone can create and market it.

An eBook can be completed and published fast. It can take up to two years for an accepted manuscript to go to print and reach the bookstores with a conventional publisher. eBooks can be published and up for sale within a few weeks. Self-publishers can be selling their eBook within weeks.

There are many opportunities available to advertise and market your eBook. The Internet has opened hundreds of doors to previously unpublished authors. You can now tap into the enormous world-wide market via the Internet. Best of all, is that you will have the exclusive rights to market your eBook and people can only buy it from you.

Alternatively, you could also enter into an agreement with another publisher regarding distribution of your eBook or post it on Amazon and Barnes & Noble as well as many other online retailers.

It’s been said that everything that has been said has already been written, but it’s not true. Since that saying came into use, everything from technology, ideas and even people and beliefs have changed. The fact is that this is the perfect time to write an ebook. So, what are you waiting for?

I was looking on Youtube and found a video that Jim Edwards and I did while we were in Las Vegas last year. Our wives made the mistake of letting us go out roaming and this is what we did. Enjoy!

For the first time in 5 years, I am opening the BigSeminar Affiliate Program up to the public. Up until now, I have only allowed attendees to promote the BigSeminar.

Forget $20, $30 or even $50 commissions. I will pay you $1000 for every sale you send us. The biggest commission check I’ve ever handed out was for $60,000! Imagine yourself with a huge check like this.

The question the question that always comes up is, “How long should an ebook be?” Instead of me just giving you my opinion, which I will in a later post, I decided why not let you, the reader, tell me your thoughts. We all have opinions and right now I want to know yours.

Please answer this question below:

One of the questions that I get asked the most about teleseminars is whether they should be free or if they should they have a cost attached to them. At first thought, the answer seems to be obvious. Free seems to have no downfall, right?

Not necessarily. In fact, I would bet that you wouldn’t see much of a difference at all as far as the number of people you get on the call. You’d probably still have the same number of people on the paid version as you would on the free version. Why? If you charge for it, it increases the perceived value of what it is you’re doing.

Let me give you an example. If you told everyone on a call that you were going to give them the resale rights to the whole series that you were creating, what value would that have to them? Now if you said they could get resale rights to this particular series and it’s going to cost them $5,000, then immediately, the series has more value to it. Suddenly, people are going to take it more seriously. If you start charging for a teleseminar, people are going to take it more seriously.

The difference in the number of people who sign up for your paid call versus your free one is dependant on your price point. If the difference is from free to $200, that’s a big difference. But if you go from free to a fee of $50 or less, then I don’t think you’re going to see that much of a difference at all.

Anything less than $100 is considered an impulse item. Let’s say you do a call a month and you average 20-30 people on each call. If you charge $50 to those 20-30 people, you’re talking about anywhere from $1,000 to $1,500 a month in revenue, and you’re still building your list by 20-30 a month. Not only are you building your list, but you’re doing it with paying people. You see, not all subscribers are equal.

I have two lists. I have one list of people who have signed up to be part of my free newsletter, and I have another list of people who have bought a product from me. Which list is a better list? Obviously, the list that bought is the best because they have already spent money with me. They have already proven that they are willing to spend money with me.

Someone who has purchased from me is likely to spend money with me again some time in the future. The other list may be just as good, but we just don’t know because they have not bought from me yet.

So, if you are using the teleseminar as a list builder, and you are giving great content, then you should feel comfortable charging at least a little money for admission. Making the amount nominal should not hurt the number of people who sign up for the call and will help qualify your list as an active one. The main thing is that the whole time you are collecting names, you are also putting money in your bank account.

Repeat after me… “It’s OK to make money in my business!”
