What’s Best in Web Design? Clean and Simple!

March 5, 2010 · Posted in Income Strategies · Comment 

We live in a world so jam-packed with excitement and new technology trends that at
times it seems hard to believe.

But this technology is designed in such a way that even the newest online
business owners
can make use of user-friendly web tools that make functions
only a web site  programmer could have dreamed of doing just a few years ago into
simple tasks.

And that is fantastic, right? Well actually it’s not. Quite the reverse is true.

You see, the accessibility and ease of use of such web tools has resulted in
hundreds of “junk” websites being produced that are so poorly planned that the
web surfer is totally confused.

Some of these web pages have as many as 7 or 8 individual things going on at
the same time -flashing header graphics, an opt in form,  Adsense Google ads,
numerous paragraphs of content, affiliate links, audio
buttons and more!

Don’t be attracted to make such glaring mistakes. It is doubtful if many web
visitors will be able to successfully find their way through such a site. There are
far too many choices to make. And the content is totally lost among all the
technology and advertising.

So, what is the answer?

Most successful webmasters today will tell you that the answer is a clean,
simple, easy to understand website. It needs to be designed with the best
interests of the end- user in mind, not yours. You need to make it a
pleasant experience.

Successful websites focus on 3 basic features: simplicity, clarity and speed. In
other words, you need a site that is visually appealing, but at the same time
downloads promptly and is simple to navigate from.

To design a site that has visual appeal, you can make use of simple graphics,
color and text. At all costs, keep away from flashing computer graphics and
fussy backgrounds.

In fact, if you want the bulk of your visitors to be able to read your text easily a
white background with black text is definitely best.

What’s Best in Web Design tips:

It isn’t crucial to be an accomplished graphic artist to design a visually pleasing
content site. Get a couple of photos from a free stock photo site such as
www.sxc.hu, add some colored text and a tagline using a graphics program like
Windows Paint or Paint Shop Pro.

That’s all that is required for a header. And that’s presuming you want a header
in the first place as some studies have shown that some niche markets achieve
better results without any headers or images at all.

Navigation should be simple text links or buttons, either across the top, straight
under the header, or down the left or right side of the screen. Make sure the text
labels plainly show what the user will find when he or she clicks on them.

An optin form and one or two simple ads can also be placed in the left or right
columns, with your content in the center of your site so that it attracts the reader’s
focus.

Clean and simple web design applies to the layout of your content too. Text is
most legible when it is in “chunks.” This means brief sentences and paragraphs
of no more than 2 to 4 sentences each.

Make generous use of colored subheadings and bullets. Sprinkle a graphic or two
per page to break up the text and add visual curiosity.

Also use borders (padding) around your text, so that it doesn’t end up against the
edges of your navigation or ad panels. Plenty of white space is essential.

In summary, many brand new webmasters (and even some more experienced
ones) think that cramming as much as they can possibly fit into every page is the
right method. It’s not.

What will keep folks on your site and keep them coming back is a clean, simple,
easy to navigate design that doesn’t give them a headache each time they visit
your page.

So, What’s Best in Web Design? Keeping it Clean and Simple!

February 24, 2010 · Posted in Income Strategies · Comment 

Your own .WS WebSite Domain Name

A domain name is simply an address on the Internet. Rather than having to remember
a difficult series of IP (Internet Protocol) numbers, by which computers know which
individual web site is located where, (for example, 208.212.155.9), you can just type in
a text address, such as www.YourDomain.ws

1000’s of .ws domains are registered everyday, so secure yours before someone else
takes it forever!

With WebSiteBuilder 4, Create Your Own Website with Professionally Designed Web Templates

The WebSiteBuilder 4 is the framework for your WebSite. Professionally designed by
graphic artists, these templates give you the foundation for building your WebSite.
There is no programming or complicated coding, simply follow the easy-to-use
instructions to create a dynamic and professionals WebSite!

You can create your site quickly, then make changes if you’d like, or you can spend
several hours creating the perfect site for you. You can view your WebSite before you
publish it for the world to see. You also have 24/7 access to your WebSite’s control
panel and can make changes at any time and as often as you like! You can also view
the changes before you publish them to the world.

Check your email on the web OR Forward email to an existing account…
WebMail:

Our WebMail allows you to use your own domain name as your email address and you
can access your email through your account from any Internet connection in the world!

Instead of using a long and hard to remember email address like mwalker554878@yahoo.com,
you can use Yourname@YourDomain.ws. For example you could have Sally@Smith.ws
and each person in your family or business can use your domain name as well such as
Bill@Smith.ws etc., up to 10 email addresses!

Domain Package Includes Email Forwarding :

WebMail forwarding allows you to use your domain name as your email address and
forward all of your emails to an existing account you already have. This way you can
use your easy-to-remember .WS email account to publicize your business or family
site and still receive all of your emails in your established
email account.

POP/IMAP Access:

Access your email for any domain using your POP or IMAP compatible email program.
Optional Web Services (No extra charge!)

URL forward:

Our URL forwarding option is perfect if you already have a WebSite created elsewhere,
but are unable to move the existing content. Often times, your current URL is hard to
remember, unprofessional, or just plain ugly. You can use URL forwarding to route your
new .WS domain to your existing WebSite. When someone visits your .WS domain,
they will be automatically transported to your existing WebSite instantly!

Domain Package Also Includes Web Hosting:

For more advanced customers, you can take advantage of our hosting service. This
allows you to build a site from scratch bypassing some of the user-friendly restrictions
built into the previously men- tioned SiteBuilder option. This allows you to build a custom

Thoughts on Success!

February 15, 2010 · Posted in Income Strategies · Comment 

Thoughts on Success!

Succeeding is a personal endeavor. Plan for it. Believe that you can. If you
have a dream
, then you must have a plan stuck somewhere back in your brain.

Some characteristics that you must have to accomplish success:
Determination
Focus
Self-Discipline
Prioritize
Duplicate
Plan
Desire
Mind Set
Self-Satisfaction
Be Teachable
Be There
Be Willing to Help Others

What You Have To Do To Succeed:
1. You must believe that you can.
2. You must believe in your services, products, or whatever you are marketing.
3. You must prospect for buyers and/or team members.
4. You must learn that you are in a business, not a hobby.
5. You must find what you want to do and do it on a consistent basis.
6. You must build your mailing list.

I hear this from so many newbies to internet marketing: “Well, I just don’t know
about having to use the services” My answer: remember that this is YOUR
business. You need to know how a product works in order to better promote
that product. Why would you not use your own product or service? If you owned
a McDonalds would you go to a Burger King? I hope not.

If you are promoting a MLM business, you must build a business team of like
minded individuals that really want to change their life. One person can
accomplish much, but it takes longer. Two people can accomplish much more
in a shorter time frame. So forth, so on.

Most wealthy individuals realize this method and this is how they have built their
wealth: by utilizing the power of a strong business team and mailing list. This is
probably the most important factor to consider when building your newsletter
subscribers list: You have to constantly be prospecting for the right individuals.

** Success is a personal decision.
** You are the only one that controls this decision.
** You must have a conviction to be successful.
** You must be determined.
** You control your own destiny to success.
** The desire to succeed has to come first because it is the driving force.
** You have to stay focused on your desire to succeed.
** You must understand why you need to succeed.
** You must be there. You MUST join in on every online session and conference
that you possibly can.
** You must understand the product, service, or program that you are promoting.
** Carefully pick your program to promote.
** Consecrate on one or two businesses to promote.

Do you have a burning desire to succeed in your internet business?

Do you have a burning desire to bring in extra income or replace the income
from your current job?

Do you have a burning desire to FREE yourself from the confinements of your
J.O.B.?

Do you really want to stop being a “Wage Slave”?

Do you have a burning desire to help others succeed, which will in turn ensure
your own success?

My Thoughts on Success are, if you can answer these questions with a “yes”,then you can and will become
successful.

Your desire for success is the KEY to your power to succeed…

Develop a plan. Then work your plan. One step-at-a-time. You can move fast.
You can move slowly. Just do it.

So, the next step is yours. What do you want to do? It is your decision…

We cannot succeed until we believe in ourselves.

We can never lose if we are true to the principles of ethical and moral
issues
and accomplishments by personal initiative and regardless of life’s difficulties.

If we believe in ourselves, our heart will take us to the highest plateau of personal
success.

We must act as though it is impossible to fail because what we see as a failure
is just a learning process which we all must go through to accomplishment. We
will most certainly succeed even through failure if we understand this principle
of life.

To succeed, we must not allow anything to redirect our focus on succeeding. We
must believe in our own ability to succeed and then we will. We accept that the
road to success may at times be bumpy.

We must never allow obstacles of any kind to stand in our way of reaching our
inner-most desire. We must remain true to our cause.

I hope My Thoughts on Success will impact others to never give up!

May your journey be blessed and fruitful…

You Can Make Money With 12 Second Commute ! #3

February 9, 2010 · Posted in Income Strategies · Comment 

You can make money with 12 Second Commute? There are never any guarantees as to the amount of money you make when working online and we are not one of those sites who foolishly give you income guaranteed—no legitimate business can do that. However, we have setup the 12SC Associate Affiliate program to give you a great opportunity, but it’s up to you to take advantage of this amazing service.

Regardless of the product, program or service you’re promoting, these are MUST HAVE TOOLS and resources in 12SC, so 12SC can help you make more money from home, with anything you are involved with and 12SC has an outstanding affiliate program that has been designed with your needs in mind.

You see the 12SC affiliate program is based on everyone having the opportunity to earn money with. How much you make depends on many factors; however we have done our part to build a solid affiliate program with an extremely generous payout.
First level payout is 25%
Second level payout is 15%
Third level payout is 10%
Fourth level payout is 5%
Fifth level payout is 5%

Payout levels are based on the account you have: Basic accounts are paid one level, Advanced accounts are paid on 2 levels, Executive accounts are paid on 3 levels and Elite accounts will receive commissions on all 5 levels.

You can make money from ALL accounts, YOU will earn commissions on the levels they get regardless of the payment. For example, a Basic account member will still receive 25% commission from someone directly under him/her who is an Elite member paying $39/month. This means that a Basic member will be paying $9/month, but they will earn $9.75 in commissions for each Elite account under them so you see how easy it can be to earn money.

Many businesses stack the bottom levels of their affiliate programs with the highest percentage because they know the majority of people will never make it that far, so while their commissions look good and they tell you that selling 2 people and each of those people sell 2 people you will make tens of thousands of dollars—blah—blah—blah. That is all they are promising is blah-blah, but blah-blah does not pay the bills.

With 12SC you earn the most money on your first 3 levels because statistically that is where most of your people will be based, so whether they are paying $9/month or $39/month or anything in between, you’ll earn money. And you’ll get paid for as long as they stay with 12SC and since our service is in demand, affordable by everyone and low pressure, people will stay with it.

Now, that’s the way a commission payout should be, setup 100% for the success of the affiliates. And remember, you can get started for FREE and get all the details and decide which upgrade account is best suited to your needs later. The main thing is to get your account and start earning your way to a 12 Second Commute.

You can get started immediately and review the entire 12SC system absolutely FREE for a full 30 days. There is NO credit card required to get your account and if you decide that 12SC is not for you, you simply cancel your account within 30 days or do nothing and we will delete your account for you after the 30th day. Either way, we will wish you all the best.

So yes, you can make money with the 12SecondCommute marketing program…..but first try it FREE, you just might like what you see!

My Name On Google? Who Me?

February 3, 2010 · Posted in Income Strategies · Comment 

My Name On Google? Who Me?

Have you ever “Googled” yourself? I did and I was dumb-founded! You know that little Google box at the top of your screen? If it’s not there, go to Google and download google tool bar. Once it’s installed, type your name in there and see what comes up. If you don’t want to install the toolbar, just go to google.com and use their search boxes and type your name in there. I typed in my name and 10 pages came up and put me into shock! This totally proved to me that when you write and submit articles to them,  you do get noticed. You will be surprised at how much it will do for your ranking.

Don’t like to write articles? Neither did I, but after I saw how much it helped my website hits, I lost my shyness. Once I get started, I find it gets easier to write an article. The getting started part can be difficult and intimidating, but just go with your feelings and start typing them out. It may not be the greatest article in the world, but it’s YOUR article….good or bad. The more articles you write, the easier it gets. If you’ve got a website, tell people about it; if you’ve got a product idea, let people know about it. If you’ve got something you are trying to sell, explain the benefits of it. If the Internet confuses you and leaves you feeling lost in a multitude of websites, tell people about it. There’s millions of things to write about and millions of people wanting to read it. Go for it! Don’t let the Internet intimidate you.

I’m not an “Internet Guru”, by any means, it takes a lot of time and money to get that ranking, but I’ve learned a lot from them. And the majority of the gurus agree: writing articles gets your name on google and noticed, and for that, I can definitely vouch for. They may not be right on everything they say, but they sure know their stuff on the article writing thing.

I’ve got a few websites going and when I checked my hits, I discovered that a lot of them have actually come from article sites I’ve submitted to, and that makes the torture of writing worth it. If you absolutely cannot write, search on the Internet for someone who will write an article for you. It will cost you some money, but you can put your name as the author and submit it to all the article sites. There are plenty of internet geeks out there that do nothing but write articles for other people. A lot of people make their living by selling bundles of articles that you can purchase the rights to and use your own name as the author.

Then you can “Google” your name and watch the links come up! Too cool! Makes you feel like you’re not totally lost out there. I love typing my name on the Google search bar and watching all the links come up. It’s sort of like the Steve Martin movie, The Jerk with the phonebook thing going on….I’m Somebody!

Follow these assured steps and not only will you have your  name on google, you will get high listings as well!

To Your Success Online,

Cheapest Way To Build A Downline In Any Organization

January 25, 2010 · Posted in Income Strategies · Comment 

What is the Cheapest Way to Build a Downline in any Organization?

What is the best way to promote  an affiliate offer ?

I believe that most people go about it the wrong way.

Sure, people need to sign-up using YOUR AFFILIATE URL – that goes without saying. Sending them directly to that page, though, isn’t a good idea at all. You are giving away your ability to get monetized at all. Either they sign-up into your organization – or they leave the page entirely.

If the REFERRAL LINK is much more attractive (and effective) it is possible that your best choice would be to send them straight there…but if you know HTMLS or have a website builder, taking the time to make a good Splash Page is your best bet. Here’s why:

YOU CAN PUT WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE TO PUT ON YOUR PAGE!

This means A LOT! If you are like me, you probably have other things that you would like to advertise. If you can advertise everything at one time… WHY NOT?

When I create a splash page I make them colorful, put at least 3 income opportunities on it so that they can choose one that they might like more than the others, and I put sponsored ads on the page so that I not only make money, but also build a downline,  showing promoting my Splash Page.

Did you catch that last part? Sponsored Ads?

YES. Open up a GOOGLE KEYWORD ADSENSE account (I use YAHOO) and MONETIZE YOUR TRAFFIC. When you have this going for you, you will find that it is easier to build your organization. Most people don’t want any part of your opportunity, and you can’t blame them. Everything isn’t for everybody.

If you purchase traffic (like I do, sometimes) you may find that the ads pretty much cover the cost of promoting the page. You cannot ask for a better set-up!

It is just a numbers game – and if you can make it cheaper to show your business opportunity to people – you will be able to afford to advertise your page even more!

I use this system to build different organizations, and it works really, really well if you keep the traffic coming in. If you aren’t doing this yet….you should be!

This is Truly one of the cheapest ways to earn money and Build a Downline with any affiliate program.

To Your Success,

Marketing: Creating A Steady Flow Of High Quality Website Traffic #2

Creating a Steady Flow of high quality website traffic: Lesson #2 0f 2!

After deciding on your domain names and getting them to redirect properly, it is time to begin marketing your network marketing business. As you begin to advertise your domain names for your opportunity you will want to use the “Fish where the Fish are” concept. What do I mean by that? I want you to use a target marketing approach to building your internet based network marketing business.

You want to attract other business minded people who are looking to start some kind of online business. The first thing that you want to do is to visit your favorite search engine index and start to do searches for the different targeted keywords that people will search for to find information on starting an online business. Do a search for (mlm,network marketing,business opportunity,work from home,online business ECT……) whatever keywords or phrase that you want to target on the internet.

You will come up with a list of the Top 10 websites that rank for those keywords and phrases you will want to explore each of the websites and look for ways to advertise on these successful highly visited websites. I call this the “Piggy Back Marketing effect” because these websites are already have a Steady Flow of traffic. Find a way to get your advertisement and link to your domain name on these sites.

What are you looking for as you visit these highly ranked websites? Most sites offer several forms of advertising within their websites. You can pay for banner advertisement or text ads on the main web-pages of the website. There are also several ways for you to advertise on these sites for FREE. You can look for forums or message boards or even the guest book of the website. Some of these places will allow blatant advertising while some of the FREE ways to market in the sites will be in the form of participation or by writing a little hello in the guest book, any way to leave a link to your domain name on one of these websites is key.

The idea of “Fishing where the Fish are” and “Piggy Back” marketing will give you an endless source of prospects or products buyers that will visit your website because you put your advertisement and domain in front of them where they were looking for the type of information that you were offering. The key to successful internet marketing is consistency and persistence. You should be placing a new ad or link to your website on a daily basis.

Network Marketing Online: How to drive traffic to your business #1.

January 14, 2010 · Posted in Income Strategies · Comment 

Network Marketing Online: How to drive traffic to your business.

How many of you decided to start an online based network marketing business only to find out that by just having a website on the internet didn’t mean 1000’s of hungry buyers were flooding you with traffic? In this article I will talk about what it will take to become a successful online network marketer.

So many people jump onto the internet every day hoping to make a lot of money with a online network marketing company. There are so many different opportunities to chose from that it is almost overwhelming. Be sure to do the proper due diligence before settling on the perfect opportunity for you. After you find the perfect network marketing company that fits your criteria, it is time to start your internet marketing and advertising to drive targeted prospects and potential product buyers to your website.

Domain Names– Domains are like Real Estate, you will control the traffic to this domain for the rest of your life.

Most online network marketing companies offer their distributors a replicated company website with an affiliate URL like: http://www.abcdef.com/12345 Do not make the same mistake that I made in the first year of my online based network marketing business. What mistake is that you ask, it is advertising the replicated website address. The reason you do not want to market with this URL is that if the company somewhere down the road decides to change the website name then all of your marketing efforts and TRAFFIC Will go to a DEAD URL.

This is how to drive traffic to your own business,  go and register a couple of easy domain names that you will own and control and be able to redirect all traffic flowing to these domains to any website of your choice for life. I personally use http://www.buydomains.com for my domain name registrations. Some of my team members also use http://www.godaddy.com . The first domain name that you should register is http://www.yourname.com because everyone that you know, know’s how to spell your name.

Take a look at http://www.Matthew Jamieson.com (which is me by the way :) ) and you will find a very simple webpage that describes me that is hosted on my main website http://www.AchieveWealthOnline.com thus directing traffic to view my main website after learning about my story.

Next you will want to think of one or two more domains that relate to your network marketing opportunity and your network marketing products. Here is one example that I use for marketing a network marketing product: http://www.BigMLMLaunch.com

After you register your domains you will want to login to the domain registration site and find the (frame forwarding or masking) option which will allow you to redirect or point your domain name to your company replicated ecommerce website or your opportunity marketing website.

This is the most effective way on how to drive traffic and redirect traffic to Your Very Own  websites
