“Traditional Offline Marketing”
By James Nsien2
http://james-nsien2.com
1) Classified Ads – This is something everyone should be testing in some form or another. It’s great for lead generations. You should still have a strong benefit driven
headline and a clear call to action. Free reports work very well with classifieds. My local paper, the Hartford Courant even has an ongoing deal of 3 lines for 3 days – for free! Even adding more lines only ends up costing a few bucks. With a price like that, there’s
no reason anyone with a website should not be testing ways to draw traffic to the site with classifieds.
2) Direct Mail – Nothing beats direct response when it comes to results-driven proven advertising. And messages sent directly to your highly targeted market via direct mail can deliver a terrific return on investment (ROI) when tested properly.
3) Postcards – Yes, postcards are a form of direct mail, but it warrants its own category. Postcards are cheaper to produce and mail than full-blown direct mail packages or sales letters, and they are great for generating leads. Like classified ads, a free report or free gift often works well here. Postcards are also a great way to stay in touch with your customers and prospects, and they also work well as part of a sequence of mailings. A good place to go for customized postcards is http://www.usps.com (the US Postal Service website), because the USPS has partnered with a company that will print and mail your postcards for you! Best of all, you only pay for the postage (i.e. FREE printing costs). Hint: be sure to include yourself on the mailing list so you can get your own mailing as well.
4) Yellow Pages – Another great resource that is often underutilized or used ineffectively. Yellow page ads are great because when someone sees your ad, they are already in the market for your product or service. Yellow page ads need to be benefits-driven, with your
Unique Selling Proposition (USP) stated clearly and boldly (remember, this is the one place where your 101 Ways To Promote Your Business For Maximum Profits prospects will see your ad alongside all of your competitors). You want your ad to stand out from the clutter. Use a direct response type of ad, and again, free gifts or premiums work well here.
5) Space Ads – If you’re going to do a space ad, it will generally get better results if you use the same layout as the editorials. Use the same font styles and sizes for the headline, body, etc. If the newspaper uses 2 columns per article on the page your ad will appear,
use 2 columns in your ad. If they use 3 columns, you use 3. The “advertorial” approach almost always does better than traditional space ads that scream “ad.” A great way to get very low costs space ads is to use what’s known as remnant, or standby advertising
6) Radio/TV/Infomercials – You might be surprised how inexpensive you can get these types of slots, especially if you use remnant advertising. Study the best infomercials, for example (the ones you see over and over again…they must be working or they wouldn’t
keep airing them), to get some ideas on how they are constructed.
7) Flyers – Who says you can’t hire a high school student to stuff mailboxes or stick ‘em under windshields? Obviously if you are selling a high-priced financial course, it would be better to target the windshields of a fancy hotel than your local Wal-Mart. And I believe the US Postal Service also prints them for you like they do postcards if you want to mail them. Check out http://www.usps.com
Networking – Your local Chamber of Commerce, trade shows, seminars, and anywhere your prospects hang out are all good opportunities for networking. In many
cases, the hotel bar the night before the seminar is the best opportunity for making contacts. It’s usually more effective to try to capture contacts and leads than to
try to close a sale on the spot, so get your elevator speech ready and have plenty of business cards on hand.
9) Telemarketing – Remember the “Do Not Call” list only applies to consumers, so if you do any kind of business to business selling, telemarketing is a viable marketing method you can use effectively. Also, the “Do Not Call” list may not apply to you with your customers or if you already have a relationship with your prospects.
10) A Trade Show Booth – A great place to capture leads. Again, a free report or gift does wonders. When you get a long line waiting at your booth, many people will stop by just to see what the fuss is about. Make your sales materials and sales people benefit-driven.

“Search Engine Optimization - SEO”
By James Nsien2
http://james-nsien2.com
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via “natural” (”organic” or “algorithmic”) search results. Typically, the earlier a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, and industry-specific vertical search engines.
As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work and what people search for. Optimizing a website primarily involves editing its content and HTML coding to both increase its relevance to specific keywords and to remove barriers to the indexing activities of search engines.
The acronym “SEO” can also refer to “search engine optimizers,” a term adopted by an industry of consultants who carry out optimization projects on behalf of clients, and by employees who perform SEO services in-house. Search engine optimizers may offer SEO as a stand-alone service or as a part of a broader marketing campaign. Because effective SEO may require changes to the HTML source code of a site, SEO tactics may be incorporated into web site development and design. The term “search engine friendly” may be used to describe web site designs, menus, content management systems and shopping carts that are easy to optimize.
Another class of techniques, known as black hat SEO or Spamdexing, use methods such as link farms and keyword stuffing that degrade both the relevance of search results and the user-experience of search engines. Search engines look for sites that employ these techniques in order to remove them from their indices.
Search Engine Optimization is a marketing strategy which can often generate a good return for the site. But what must be remembered is that search engines are not actually paid for the traffic they send to a site from a natural search. Plus, they will regularly change the algorithms that they use for these searches to be carried in an effort to improve the results for people using their search engine.
In fact, there is no guarantee that using this system is successful in either the long or short term for any website. Because of this, SEO is often compared to traditional forms of PR (Public Relations), while PPC (Pay per Click) advertising is more closely associated with traditional forms of advertising.
However, even if you do find you have increased traffic to your site because of SEO, if your site is unprepared for this increased traffic, it may in fact be detrimental to your site, as visitors will go away feeling dissatisfied and will not return.
But though SEO can be considered as a marketing tactic which is a law unto itself, it is often considered to part of he bigger picture by many industry experts.

“Google AdSense”
By James Nsien2
http://james-nsien2.com
Google AdSense is an ad-serving program that allows you to place ads on your site which are related to the content on your site. AdSense is a contextual marketing application. Contextual marketing produces ads that are related to the context or nature of your site. If you were to make a site about “real estate”, AdSense would display ads about “real estate”. AdSense can break down your ads even farther. If you have a page on your real estate site about “rehabbing”, AdSense will then display ads about “rehabbing”. This can go as far as you wish (as long as there are advertisers for your specific content). If you then have a page that digs even deeper and is about “Rehabbing in new York”, AdSense will then display ads about “Rehabbing in new York”.
Many people confuse Google AdSense with Google AdWords. AdWords allow you to advertise your site via pay per click advertising on the Google search engine, along with Google’s partner sites. Google AdSense allows you to display advertising on your site and earn revenue from the ads. When you put AdSense on your website you are basically displaying other peoples AdWords ads on your site and earning money from them. You may be wondering what you need to do in order for AdSense to display relevant ads on your site. Absolutely nothing! You simply take the code that AdSense gives you and insert it into the HTML of your site. AdSense does the rest of the work for you.
So what’s in it for website owners? Every time a visitor of your site clicks on one of the ads displayed by Google; you earn a piece of the profits. How much of the profits? Well, Google recently announced that they pay out around 80% of what Google earns. What’s so great about AdSense is that it allows you to turn every page on your site into an income generating page. If you were only using affiliate links on your site to make money, you would be limited to the amount of pages you could display affiliate links on. With AdSense, you can make money off of every page on your site.
How to Apply:
Joining the Google AdSense program is quite easy. You simply apply for an account and then Google will take a look at your site and decide if they want to allow you to display their ads on your site. In order to increase your odds of being accepted into the AdSense program you should make sure your site is original, complete (not filled with broken links), and meets all the standards Google lays out. If you have a quality site with lots of original content, you should have no problem being approved for the Google AdSense program. Search here and apply for a Google AdSense Account:

“What Is Commercial Real Estate?”
By James Nsien2
http://james-nsien2.com
The term commercial property (also called investment or income property) refers to buildings or land intended to generate a profit, either from capital gain or rental income. Commercial property includes office buildings, industrial property, medical centers, hotels, malls, retail stores, shopping centers, farm land, multifamily housing buildings, warehouses, garages, and industrial properties. In many states residential property containing more than a certain number of units qualifies as commercial property for borrowing and tax purposes.
The term usually refers to retail properties, office buildings, shopping centers, hotels, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, apartment complexes – and vacant land that have the potential for development for these types of buildings. In short, almost any kind of real estate except single-family home and single-family lots can be regarded as commercial real estate.
Starting commercial estate investing:
Real estate investors first start their profession by buying a rental house, then small flats or apartment building. More quickly, they capture their position in the market. The constraint is when your bank tells you they cannot loan you any more single-family mortgages or that your range is outside their lending parameters.
Not being able to obtain a loan is a common problem and really troubling. Real estate investors already have too big to transact with the residential lending institutions; and they are like a “person without air” when it comes to knowing how to move toward the commercial side of banking.
The other familiar aspect is that the Real estate investors who deal in an income property deal, perhaps, can assume the present mortgage or negotiates seller financing. If the property proves to be successful; then the investor can fetch a nice profit, and then proceed to look for another deal.
Why does one feel uneasy when the first property proves difficult to produce?
There are several factors to consider:
• How do you know the worth of the property?
• How do you know and trust that the seller is open / honest and telling the truth about property’s cash flow?
• How do you raise the down payment?
• How and where do you get financing?
These uncertainties are irresistible.
Real estate is the best ways for everyday people to build wealth. Real estate can create whatever lifestyle you desire, but it can swallow you and can become a nightmare if you are not aware of what you acquired and how you acquired.
To build considerable wealth investing in commercial real estate, you require time to think things through. Recognize that real estate is generally a kind of business where one can get rich quickly, and for that, one requires planning, patience, and persistence. Proceeding without a strategy obtains an undesired result.
How does such a strategy look like? It is easier than you may think.
Firstly, find a lender, a mortgage company, or other personal financial / lending entity. Adjust your financial dealings to serve your purpose of building wealth. Lacking capacity with an opportunity is an illusion one.
Then, form criteria for assets type, size, and location. Each type needs a different set of skills and offers different levels of return. It is better to make the property fit to the investor, than trying to make the investor fit the property.
There is no general real estate market. By observing your local market, you can identify the opportunities within your capacity to act on. If you recognized a possible transaction, learn perfectly how to assess value of a property based on its condition, your return necessities and borrowing power.
Finally, learn to develop the deals and make good offers. Prepare yourself not only to obtain the profits, but also how to invest the profit in a proper way. The best key factor of building wealth is Tax Planning and Asset Protection (to be posted soon).

“Safe online chatting”
By James Nsien2
NCN People Search
Online chatting stops being fun when someone gets hurt. Online predators are becoming more skilled and learning new tricks that they are then using against people like you and I. Although it is not the majority of online chatters who are targeted by a predator, it is nonetheless important to exercise caution to ensure that you too do not become another sad statistic. Below are five of the top online chatting safety rules to abide by. As individual situations will differ, you may need to keep additional chat room safety rules in mind that are not necessarily listed here.
Protect your identity
The most important safety rule to remember when chatting online is that anything you type in a chat room can be seen by everyone. Predators looking to take advantage of people will look for even the smallest bit of volunteered personal information and they will use that information against you. Just as you would never post your credit card number or social security number in a public place, you should never give out any personal information while you are chatting online. Some examples of personal information that should remain protected include your real name, telephone or cell phone number, mailing address, passwords, banking details, etc.
People on the Internet may not be who they say they are.
One of the greatest dangers about chatting online is that you have no way of knowing whether or not the person that you are chatting with really is who they say they are. Predators are known for their ability to persuasively portray a variety of different types of people in order to gain your trust. This is why it is so dangerous when people decide to meet those who they only know from their online chats. You could be putting yourself right in the arms of a predator by not using caution and being wise about the situations you put yourself in.
Use a secure chat room
Chat rooms come in all different shapes and sizes. Some chat rooms are a free-for-all, while others have specific rules and codes of conduct that must be followed. Make sure that you enter a chat room that is appropriate for you. Children have no place chatting with adults. Find a chat room with a moderator who can add additional security by filtering out any inappropriate content from the chat room.
Parents, set chatting safety rules for your children
Children are often the targets of predators because children are generally very trusting. Teach your children important online chatting safety rules. Make sure that you talk to your children about the conversations that they have online and the types of people that they are chatting with. Make sure that your kids are in age-appropriate chat rooms and encourage your children to come to you if they ever feel uncomfortable about a question that was asked to them or a message that they received. Many times it is best to only allow your child to chat with people that you and they know personally, rather than allowing conversations with strangers.
Do not let your guard down
Predators, including pedophiles, who are online and in chat rooms are very clever and have experience in being deceptive. These dangerous people will often spend months gaining your trust, or the trust of your children, before asking personal questions or to meet you in person. Remember that unless you know personally the person that you are chatting with, you have no way of knowing whether or not your chatting partner really is who he says he is.
Be informed, Be Smart, and Be Safe!

“Two Strands of Viral Marketing”
By James Nsien2
http://james-nsien2.com
Forced Viral
• Hotmail.com
Speaking of forced viral marketing, remember Hotmail.com’s viral beginnings? Their campaign was an easy one as they were one of the first to offer a free web-based email to the masses. Basically the process was something like this:
1. On the front end they gave away free email and other
Services.
2. Every message sent from hotmail.com went out armed
with a simple link at the bottom of every email saying
something like: “Get your private, free email at
http://www.hotmail.com”
3. From there all Hotmail did was sit back and wait while
their outgoing free emails infected one small network of
friends at a time.
4. A majority of all the people receiving the email would
follow the link and sign up for a free email account.
5. The viral effect was highly infectious, and Hotmail’s
popularity grew overnight
• Hyper-viral
A classic example is the Internet book giant Amazon. Not the first name that comes to mind when you think of viral
marketing, this company expanded almost exclusively using viral tactics. They did this with the simple position of encouraging their customers to by books for their friends and family. Then in every package of books they included a print letter encouraging the recipient to return to Amazon when they were looking for a book. Amazon also encouraged others with the use of their early affiliate programs, giving tools that would allow for the positioning of targeted dynamic content on their affiliates websites.
The Elements of a Viral Marketing Campaign
• Self Perpetuation
When you attach your message, product or marketing to something people like - the natural effect is for people to have the drive to pass it on. If you give a good experience and attach it to what you’re doing it will expand virally. On the other hand if what your doing doesn’t satisfy, the effects will just drop off. In short create something others will want to share using buzz worthy material.
• It Feeds Off Existing Networks
There are tons of ways especially online to take advantage of pre-existing networks. This can be Press Releases, or Articles, Posting on Forums, Posting Videos, and many other methods to get your message displayed on other peoples web pages, emails, etc.,
Another way to virally feed off networks is to tap into existing personal relationships between people. Blue Mountain Arts – a virtual greeting card company uses this method by giving anyone the ability to email a card to friends or family members. Then the people that receive the cards are invited to use the service by visiting the website to send a card in reply.
Viral strategy - for maximum effectiveness will make it effortless for transfer among customers. Keeping your marketing message short and attaching it to something free
like a product, service or software download is ideal. Take a lesson from Hotmail and Blue Mountain Arts, all they included was a link or message in everything others using their free service were sending.

“SEO or PPC?”
By James Nsien2
http://james-nsien2.com
Having a website is not enough to make your business running and able to compete. You must take other alternatives to give way for the online community to access your website at any rate or chance possible.
You have to expose your website. Make it known. It has to be visible. It has to be frequently targeted by consumers and surfers. Invest in marketing your Internet site. There are basically two options available to you, the SEO and PPC. These two are probably the most desirable alternatives you can get for your Internet business as strategy for search engine marketing.
SEO
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. Some researches indicate that 60% - 70% of Internet surfers and users actually resort to using the Google search engine to find and locate web sites and pages, for any topic they desire. SEO is the process taken to make sure that the Internet uses will find your website when ranked among the top results of a search. This way you can make sure that you will be visible and can clearly stand out from the rest. To get a search engine optimization, you will have to build on your own Internet site frequently hit Internet links to web site pages. The process will involve IBLN or Independent Back-Linking Network, wherein hundreds or even thousands of pages will be utilized to promote a particular website of a client. In SEO, there is no need or you to pay for the clicks although it will require you to spend time doing research to let a favorable combination of ads and target audience. The SEO process is a long term one. It requires months, 6 months at the least, before the proper outcome is fully achieved, but once the goal is accomplished, you will definitely get a steady source of profit.
PPC
PPC gives way in advertising on a search engine. These are sponsored listings that you see whenever you make a search. There will be a charge whenever a visitor or web surfer clicks on any of your ads. There will first be a bidding process. The highest bidder for the price per click will definitely get the chance to be first listed in the search engine. With this kind of advertising, you can still basically control your campaign as you get to create your own ad. You will also manage the target audience and still stay within the bounds of your budget. Most of the providers of PPC advertising will allow you to specify the target market, either by topic, industry or geographical location. You can also very well check if your ad gets to be shown at all and if it is competitive with the rest. There are some guaranteed benefits when you get to maximize the PPC strategy.
1. PPC lets you advertise to the whole of the online community. It is also relatively easy to set up.
2. At first glance, PPC advertising may seem very expensive. Could it possibly happen that someone out there will go on clicking on your ad? This will definitely give you a large bill without the expected profit on your part. If this provides a lot of worries, be rest assured that there is a protection for you. Networks are able to recognize fraudulent clicks.
3. You can also set a budget for a certain period. The moment your budget has been used up by the target number of clicks, your ads will no longer be displayed until the next period you want it again displayed.
4. You will also be able to adjust well to changes in market demands and trends.
In deciding which of the two strategies will work right for you, think of your goals and of your resources. They definitely offer benefits and advantages that will work for your good. The better way to approach this two is to evaluate according to your short term and long term plans.

“Traffic Exchanges to Promote Affiliate Programs”
By James Nsien2
http://james-nsien2.com
See The Best Traffic Exchanges on the Internet Here
A traffic exchange is a type of website which provides a service for webmasters in exchange for traffic. It is similar to the autosurf concept with the exception that traffic exchanges usually use a manual rotation.
A traffic exchange website receives website submissions from webmasters that join traffic exchange networks. The person who submitted the website then has to browse other member sites on the exchange program to earn credits, which enable their sites to be viewed by other members through the surf system. This increases the number of visitors to all the sites involved.
Exchanges enforce a certain credit ratio, which illustrates the amount of websites the surfer must view in order to receive one hit through the program for their promoted website. Many sites offer the ability to upgrade one’s membership level for a more equal credit ratio.
As the viewers are all website owners or affiliates, it is possible that some might find certain member sites interesting and thus make note of them on their own sites, sending more traffic their way. Most traffic programs also impose a time limit when members are browsing, ranging from 10 seconds to 60 seconds. Some incorporate the use of captcha to ensure user interaction.
Almost all traffic exchange programs are free, although many of them offer special features to paid members and offer credits for purchase. Almost all traffic exchange programs encourage users to build their own referral networks, which in turn increases the referrers’ amount of credits.
The traffic generated in a traffic exchange can be leveraged by using a downline builder to assist the user in building a referral network in the many different traffic exchanges.
One of the best ways in which you can promote affiliate programs is through various traffic exchanges. Almost all well-defined, robust niches on the Internet have some form
of traffic exchange. For instance, casinos, gaming sites, niche forums, and Internet marketing sites all have some form of traffic exchange system.
A traffic exchange can serve multiple functions; however, in most cases, it does two important things:
1) It allows you to surf sites, gain credits, and then cash in
those credits; and
2) It allows you to put banners or dynamically-generated
link boxes on your site that will generate credits, which
you can then cash in.
Cashing in credits,with most exchanges, results in a certain amount of traffic being drive to your site via the exchange site or via banners on other sites that are members of the
exchange. A good place to start when working with traffic exchanges is to determine which ones are most reputable and which ones have reasonable point systems. For instance, some traffic exchanges allow users to cheat and some have bad systems of exchange, which heavily favor paying members over non-members. You will want to find the best possible exchange given the amount of money you are willing to spend and the product you are marketing.
Once you have selected an optimal exchange, you will want to determine the best way in which you can use it to maximize the amount of high-quality traffic you extract from it.
If you lose credits based on impressions, you will want to make sure that you get the absolute largest amount of clicks per impressions. This will involve over-hyping your ads and creating flashy banners (if they allow them). In contrast, if you are getting charged per click, you will want to make sure your ads ONLY appeal to the most interested buyers. Whichever route you take, make sure that it is matched up with a model for maximum revenue generation.
