While advertising expenditures are undergoing a dynamic change, utilizing expert marketing tactics is more critical than ever: consumer and business spending is at an all time low so EVERY mareting dollar spent must truly 'hit the mark' in order to generate sales AND repeat sales!
According to a new B-to-B Online article Most Marketers Ignore Social Media based on a recent survey far too many marketing executives, which certainly includes SOHO, Entrepreneurs & WebPreneurs, are failing to capitalize on the readily available customer satisfaction/opinion provided via social media!
This tells me two very important aspects of marketing are not being utilized by those that can benefit the most:
1. A business profile that markets and promotes SOHO, Entrepreneur and WebPreneur business on at least the Major Social Networks; and
2. A systematic routine to monitor public and customer opinion/input of business interactions by way of Social Networks.
While the fore mentioned survey polled CMO's and VPs of marketing, any business person - especially independent and/or 'newbies' - can afford to take heed: Social Networks provide a powerful, FREE medium to advertise and market a business as well as a method to gather relatively unbiased customer satisfaction! Using Social Media, such as Twitter, Facebook, Digg, etc. can create an air of Expertise for even the most inexperienced business person.
Marketing a business, service or even intellectual property requires more than clever jingles and deep pockets -- quality, consistency and above all, tracking both the positive and negative responses to marketing efforts are top priorities!
Economic recessions, depressions and downturns can make or break a business: utilizing all available, FREE marketing resources is a must for the savvy business person that is determined to 'make it' in this economic climate! Using Social Networking allows EVERY business person the benefit of an Expert Marketing Tactic.

Targeted Website Traffic
February 6, 2009 | By Kenneth Koh |
I said in my previous blog post that the most effective online advertising is one that gets the most targeted traffic to your website. But how do you get targeted website traffic? Where do you find all the targeted prospects who may be interested in buying what you have to offer?
Apparently there are many ways to find targeted website traffic.
For example, almost for any niche, you can use Pay Per Click advertising to get targeted traffic to your website. But Pay Per Click can be costly if you do not have a good sales process.
There is another easy way to get targeted website traffic without spending much money. But many people are not using it.
The method is to get the targeted traffic from other people’s list - also known as joint venture. But it’s not what you think.
You see, the internet has developed into a stage where almost every active online user is on someone’s list, depending on what their interests are.
A dog lover is on the list of some dog training gurus, an opportunity seeker is on the list of some internet marketing gurus and so on.
So if you want to penetrate into any market niche, your job really is to think of a JV proposal that is mutually beneficial and get your targeted traffic directly from the list owners in your niche.
Many years back, a 24-year-old newbie online marketer went round asking other newbie marketers to contribute a chapter to his new ebook, on the agreement that each of them will promote the free ebook to their lists. This newbie marketer did this trick a few times with different internet marketers and soon became one of the renowned gurus in the IM industry.
Can you see how simple this idea is? It’s a win-win-win situation. The organizer and contributors win by getting more exposure and thus building their lists. The people in their lists win by getting great tips for free. But the organizer wins the most, since he gets the most exposure by being the organizer.
Today, this simple tactic has evolved into something more complicated and powerful. Instead of contributing just one chapter, hundreds of marketers now group together to giveaway free ebooks, MP3s, videos and software.
This is what we call a giveaway event.
Have you seen those giveaway events where you can join and download tons of products for free?
The idea is similar, except that a giveaway event involves more preparation and it can build you a much larger list in a shorter time, especially if you are the organizer.
In any giveaway event, the person who benefit the most is always the organizer. It’s fair since the organizer puts in the time and effort to run the event.
Regardless of which niche you are in, you can always run a giveaway event and instantly build a huge list in that niche.
Caution: If you want to run a giveaway event in the IM niche, you will need to add some innovative elements into it. Else, it may be hard for you to get experienced marketers onboard.
If you want to learn how to run a successful giveaway event, I suggest that you read this ebook that I’ve just read.
It covers everything you need to know, from how to find contributors for your event to solving the technical issues such as server, bandwidth and mass mailing problems.
You will also get a chance to buy a giveaway script at a BIG discount. (A good giveaway script is usually sold for more than $200, but you can get a big cut in the price.)
Note: You need to hurry if you want to get this ebook because I’ve been informed that the price will increase on 10th Feb.
If you want to jump start your online business, there is no need to be the Jack of all trades in traffic generation. If you can master one effective strategy to get targeted website traffic, it’s enough to get you onto the fast track.
NOTE: Previously Posted on LeadsLeap.
A great website offering your expert advice/opinions, products, services, programs or even games is actually the first step in building a prosperous online presence. The next step requires drawing tons of traffic to your site. Since the "Being Self-Employed:" series focuses on free and/or extremely cheap ways to being successful in any internet venture, implementing ways to draw traffic AND get paid in the process can certainly qualify as 'ea$y' money!
There are numerous banner and traffic exchanges available that can provide exposure to your site. If your site is monetized with Google AdSense creating 'splash' and/or 'landing pages' as portals to your site will insure compliance with Google's policy guidelines. So placing your landing banners and/or splash pages, etc. in paying or revenue-sharing exchanges becomes a savvy advertising, exposing and traffic building method!
******
Free-2-Earn
******
Many exchanges offer different levels of membership: Free and Paid. The free memberships generally provide a higher ratio of clicks to visits than the paid; for example you might have to click on/visit 3 sites in order to get your site viewed once in the rotation to the exchange membership. Also, exchanges provide inexpensive advertising rates, bonuses and 'perks' that members can maximize strategically.
Before joining exchanges make sure you assess your time constraints carefully -- spending a few hours daily 'exchanging' is a must in order to keep your sites before the members and new joining members. Frequent 'clicking' or 'surfing' also is often a requirement for 'active' membership in the more popular exchanges and doing so allows for constant exposure to thousands of potential visitors, customers and/or clients

Making Your Clicks 'Count'
TopNotch Traffic is an 'auto-surf' exchange that pays its members for several different activities! For the upgraded members there are weekly trivia contests wherein the winners can earn both money AND advertising credits. Free and upgraded members are randomly selected to earn $2.00 just for opening email sent from the TopNotch Admin which lists trivia contest winners, paid sponsored ads and the randomly selected member earners! A simple login to the member area, filling out the contact form providing your member ID and requesting payment gets the money posted to your account.
TopNotch routinely offers up to $2.00 worth of 'clicks' in the Paid-2-Click section of the members area by way of banners and text ads! You can also earn 'credits' [views for your site(s)] in the Paid-2-Click section.
Surfing For Dollars
All banner and traffic exchanges depend on 'surfing' by the membership in order to be effective means for advertising and 'exchanging!' Many exchanges are beginning to offer both manual and auto surf options: manual surfing requires that you physically click on a link in order to view a site; auto surfing loads each site after the timer runs down which eliminates the need to physically click on the links.
With TopNotch Traffic the incentive to pay attention while surfing is two-fold: every so many 'clicks' exposes one of two messages -- click the link and receive $.015 - $.55 or 15 bonus credits added to your account! Aside from the benefit of seeing how any possible competition may be marketing their site(s) there is the benefit of seeing new and often viable income opportunities while surfing: this could be due to the income offering of TopNotch that sensible business site owners are joining the exchange almost daily.
Payout
Free members can receive payout upon reaching $40.00 in their account. This can easily be accomplished by surfing, visiting the Paid-2-Click section and opening your emails daily or at least every other day! Of course inviting others to join the exchange also provides additional income and/or credits! Payout for referrals are 5 levels deep starting with 20% at the top, 10% on the second and 5% each remaining level for surf/Paid-2-Click. There is also a 5 level new referral credit bonus starting with 100 credits for level 1, 50 credits for level 2, 30 credits, 20 credits and 10 credits for levels 3 thru 5.
Paying Traffic Exchanges
There are countless paying traffic exchanges and investigating them prior to sign-up is the wisest choice before commiting to be active. Once you or someone you trust has recommended a reputable exchange, you've calculated how much time you can devote to 'surfing/clicking' per day or week, join the exchange and begin making money while drawing traffic to your site(s). TopNotch allows for listing up to 50, yes that's right 50 sites for inclusion in the rotation to members!
Visitors, customers and/or clients all of which conceivably translates into sales PLUS earning money just for participating has to be one of the sweetest methods of making "Money 'Da' Ea$y Way" online! I certainly think $o.

Change. The entire country is looking for change: change in the economy, change in the job market, change in the perception of security! Many people are waking up to the fact that change is the mandatory ingredient for surviving hard & difficult times as well as being in the forefront of new and evolving technological advances, aka industries.
While during this presidential election campaign the voting population is actively promoting their candidates' and promising that great and positive change for the nation can begin with the newly elected president. Certainly, no matter who wins the election, there will indeed be change sweeping in the nation -- but the speed and quickness, that far too many are desperately in need of, may well take many years to build up in order to provide bonafide change . . .
A change in outlook, mindset and personal convictions might be the answer to generating income in non-traditional, simple and ea$y ways! With advertising bringing billions of dollars to the internet, anyone can launch a website [and in some cases send emails] and make money, quickly, steadily and repeatedly.
*****************************************************

*****************************************************
Below are a few 'Money "Da" Ea$y Way' methods to earn money, quickly, steadily and simply:
1. BRRING. This is an audio advertising method that provides the user a telephone number which pays a short customized advertisement to callers and then forwards the call to the regular number of the user. Since I've moved across country, I took advantage of the availability of a number in the area code of most of my relatives and friends -- they can now call me on a local number, hear a short ad, then reach me no matter where I am! This is also a great tool to make money on the telemarketing and other non-solicited calls received -- simply start using your BRRING number for all your accounts [utilities, credit cards, contests, etc.]!
*******************************************************
*******************************************************
2. Paying Social Networks. These sites pay its members to invite [recruit] others in order to grow the membership of the site. The more members the higher the cost of ad space on the site and the MORE ad-revenue can be shared! Basically, paying social networks offer ad-revenue sharing to their active members and the ones I recommend are FREE to join! Sites such as 6dgr, Frenszone, Viral Networks and Zenzuu encourage members to create profiles, participate in forums and invite business associates, social group members and others to join which generates income for both the site and the members!
*********************************************************

*********************************************************
3. Search engines and tool bars. These income options require a website in order to create ea$y, long term income. The Conduit Community toolbar is a great way for family, friends and business associates to keep in constant communication while making money each time someone downloads the toolbar onto their pc or laptop! Conduit toolbars offer great features such as instant chat, weather, news feeds, radio, a to-do list and far too many to mention here! Then there is the Scour search engine which converts search 'points' and ratings 'points' to cash! Simply create an account, dowload the search bar and use the Scour search engine for all your searches and get paid! When others that you share Scour with join, you get referal 'points' -- all points convert to cash!
**********************************************************
***********************************************************
4. Pay-per-play. By far this is the simplest and most fun passive money maker online! NetAudio Ads plays a short sound ad on whatever page the code is posted on! By adding the Audio code to a site, the 'publisher' [website owner], generates income from all traffic to the site! Promoting your site via classified ads, banner exchanges, google adwords, business cards and/or word of mouth earns real dollars everytime anyone visits the site and an ad gets played!
*********************************************************
Now You Can Generate a Growing Flood of Traffic & Online Advertising Automatically, without Spending a Dime! See what the JUGGERNAUT can do for you!
*********************************************************
5. Pay-per-click. There are countless pay-per-click programs -- some pay simply when a site visitor clicks on an ad or text link -- most pay when an ad/link is clicked AND a sell is made! Either way, placing ads on your blog or website can generate substantial income as you build interest in and traffic to your site!

Continuing the guidance from the series, "Being Self-Employed: How To Set Up A Business Website" this article addresses the next set of concerns for those that have already completed parts 1 and 2 of the series.
Now that you've created your website/blog and are excited about the goods and/or services that you provide, a crucial support and marketing method needed to make your business thrive is business networking. Many 'brick and mortar' businesses join local Better Business Bureaus or Chambers of Commerce, and although the internet does sport an online version of the BBB there are additional resources available that can take your 'newbie' enterprise to an exciting professional level.
MerchantCircle is one such resource. The site offers a FREE business listing which features a micro-website that offers:
It takes less than 45 minutes to set up an account and design your site [which offers quite a few color combinations and templates]. Another 5 minutes to launch your site and see if there are any merchants in your area that you'd like to connect with and invite into your networking circle and your business listing is 'live' on the web competing with any local electronic yellow page listing.
The site also offers advertising packages that manage your listing, submit to search engines, create ads and generally do all of the listing maintenance for you -- freeing up time with which to focus solely on doing your business!
Membership in a business community, marketing tools, how-to tutorials and a professional internet listing! All in one easy to navigate and extremely user friendly interface. That's my idea of making 'money da easy way' -- creating an online presence, getting FREE professional marketing tools and assistance while learning the ropes of being a successful entrepreneur from others that have both experience AND goods/services that can be of help to you!
