How Going Offline Can Make You A Lot Of Money This Year

If you are an internet marketer, then you more than likely have seen the trend in fellow marketers going "Offline" promoting their internet marketing services to offline, local businesses. Recently it has been come a HOT topic of discussion and everyone seems to be going "Offline!" The reason why many internet marketers are deciding to get involved with offline consulting, is because it pays A LOT better than performing some of the same services for people online.

 

While as an online freelancer, you might be able to get a few dollars for writing an article and you might also be able to fetch a few hundred dollars for web design services; by taking your skills offline, you can get double, triple or even more from local, offline business owners. After hearing about the benefits of article marketing, business owners are very often willing to pay $25 per article or more.

 

Web design and SEO (Search Engine Optimization) services can also fetch THOUSANDS of dollars from offline "brick and mortar" businesses! I have landed thousands in deals with offline businesses to take control of their internet marketing campaign, fix their website up and do some BASIC, on-site optimization (SEO). These are all services that I perform daily on my OWN websites for FREE! Most internet marketers are used to this type of work and many can do it with their eyes closed.

 

However, if performing these tasks/services are not your strong point -- They can always be outsourced to "online freelancers" who generally do the same work for a lot less money (this might be YOU). Then you can up-charge the offline business and make yourself a nice profit without doing much work at all.

 

Now, hopefully you can see how taking your internet marketing skills OFFLINE can make you a LOT of money this year... And for many years to come.

 

Best of luck,

Jan

Today I made $1800 with the offline gold method.

For those of you who are not yet familiar with offline gold I'm going to give you a quick break down.

The whole concept is based on us internet marketers helping offline (brick and mortar) businesses with their online marketing. As many of you would agree if you think about it, the knowledge (even limited) we have about internet marketing is worth gold to offline businesses.

Let me explain how I got started in this.

I bought a very well respected member of the warrior forum's report called offline gold. In the report Andrew Cavanagh explains in great detail how he has been cashing in on offline businesses for years.

I realized quickly that even with my limited internet marketing experience I can be worth a ton of money for a small business. There was at the time also a huge thread on the warrior forum about offline gold which motivated me even more to get started with this.

Here's what I did. My buddy owns a restaurant and I told him I want to build an email list for him. He said sure whatever. I said ok, and I immediately threw up a quick splash page with an opt-in form for his restaurant. We offered customers a monthly drawing for a free dinner for 2 if they join the list.

I added all of the emails on my getresponse autoresponder account and after a few weeks we had around 168 people on the list. I sent out a quick email on a friday night offering them a 12 OZ NY steak for $9.99  and they can only get the special if they print out the email and present it to the server.

That night the email brought in 28 tables. After people ordered dessert, wine the steak and other foods we calculated around $800 in sales just from 1 email. Not bad for just sending out an email hey? last night we sent out aan email again and made about $400 in sales from it. Can you imagine what will happen when the list grows to 2000 , 3000 or more over time?

What do you think that will be worth to a restaurant owner?

Anyways, I don't want to give all the goodies away here on my blog but hopefully this will get you thinking.

Today I used another technique in the report offline gold and secured a $1800 check and I am outsourcing 100% of the work and will still walk with around $1200 in profit.

 

If you would like to see what the offline gold fuss is all about I highly recommend you consider buying Andrew's report. You won't need anything else to get started on this gold rush.

Do You Blog? If Not Your Are Losing Out.

 

Something I could never in my wildest dreams see myself doing was BLOGGING....

I don't consider myself much of a writer, blogging sounded pointless and boring to say the least.  Then one day I joined the renegade university to learn some new internet marketing and network marketing skills. I was particularly interest in this new thing called WEB2.0 that everybody was talking about.

To cut a long story short, one of the many great ways they teach on how to market your business and yourself very effectively was blogging.

Mike Klingler (renegade university) talked about how much blogging is growing and that we'd be crazy as internet marketers not to have a blog. Mike further explained that the search engines absolutely loves blogs because of many factors.

One of the key reasons why a blog will out rank a static html site is because search engines loves new content and with blogging you are adding new content on a daily or weekly basis and if you ping your blog correctly then the search engine spiders will keep indexing your site higher and higher.

Mike further explained how each blog post is like a new web page and gets indexed seperately and that over time you will have so many pages and content on your blog that your blog will start showing up on google for tons of different keywords.

Blogs are also more personal than static html sites and the writer and his readers can engage each other much easier and that makes blogging very effective and a great marketing tool.

I decided to try blogging and watched the step by step blogging videos from the renegade university, created my blog and started posting some useful info on it once every few days and now only once a week (i know i'm slacking). I also promoted my blog quite a bit in the beginning by posting in forums, linking to it from sites like hub pages , squidoo and other blogs.

After a few weeks I started seeing some traffic come in from google and other search engines. Now I don't even promote my blog at all anymore and I get traffic every single day like clockwork to my blog.

What more could an internet marketer ask for?

 

Cheers,

Keyword Research Exposed

If you have been around the internet marketing scene for some time then you probably know the importance of proper keyword research. Finding long tail keywords with high search volume and low or no competition will definately play a large part in your overall online success.

Unfortunately all of the free or paid keyword tools available to us is absolutely unreliable to say the least. Let me give you an example.

A few weeks ago I found a long tail keyword on the word tracker tool that showed there is 1600 searches per day for it with only 2500 websites competing for it. I was very excited as I knew that all it would take was a few articles and maybe a blog to make it to the first page of google for that keyword phrase.

A few days later I had my blog up and my articles out and I made it to the first page expecting thousands of clicks but I was wrong. I didn't even get one click from that keyword phrase, not one! This was disturbing as I realized the keyword research tool is obviously wayyy off.

I started doing some research on this what I found was that tools like word tracker and even google's own tool shows wildly different results for the same keywords. On the warrior forum I noticed tons of people compalining about this as well.

To say the least this was worrying to me as my overall internet marketing strategy revolves around finding profitable long tail keywords and then creating blogs, articles, squidoo lenses etc around them.

After searching through the forum I found John Orana's report for a measly $17 about how to determine the real value of any keyword, he also reveals some strategies to find hidden keywords that nobody knows off and that means zero competition.

Anyways I thought I'd share that with you all. If you would like a copy of John's report for $17 you can get it here.
