I have compiled a report called “The Ultimate Guide to Secret Marketing Strategies”. These are tips and techniques that internet marketing professionals use to create a feeding frenzy with any product.
This is a 489-page report that contains 1500 online marketing techniques that you can use to increase your conversion rates in your online sales efforts. You can use these if you write your own sales letters for your info products, or whether you use Craigslist or eBay to sell your products. These tips work well with information products as well as physical products or services.
Strategy #270: The “Next Success Story” Strategy
The “when you become our next success story you will get free publicity…” strategy tells your prospects they could become famous and get their own business or message in front of all your prospects, visitors and customers. This will really persuade people that have similar businesses or have non-profit organizations to promote your product.

When beginning any online business, it is important to do your homework before diving in head first. Keyword research is a necessary step to a successful online business.
- Decide on niche.
- Find keywords that identify and relate to your niche.
- Implement those keywords within your website and blog.
- Continue using those keywords with your content often.
Why is keyword research so important? The majority of your website traffic should come from search engines because that means that people are searching for what you have to offer them instead of you seeking out your customers. Keywords are as equally important for pay-per-click (ppc) campaigns as well as natural (or organic) search engine rankings.
Basic keyword research steps:
- Visit Google’s Keyword Tool.
- Type in your keywords. Google will display a number of results and… most recently have starting displaying the search volume in numbers instead of a little graph that doesn’t really tell you anything.
- In this list, you are looking for the Approx Avg Search Volume. That is an approximate number that tells you how many searches are done each month. That gives you an idea of the demand of that keyword.
- Start a spreadsheet to track your results and put your keywords in your list.
- Now we need to find out what the supply of that keyword is. I do this with Google. Visit Google. I use the allintitle:”______________” search method that tells me how many other webpages Google says has that exact keyword phrase in the title of the webpage.
Step 3
Step 5
There are no set rules on how much competition vs. search volume (supply vs. demand) makes a keyword ‘saturated’ but i like to follow the 30/20 Rule. The average monthly search volume should be more than 900 per month (average 30 searches per day) and the allintitle:”___” search results should be less than 20,000. Obviously. the less the supply and the more the demand – the better.
This blog post is more for me than anyone else. I titled this post, “Back2Basics” because lately, when I have started a new internet project I often times fail to do the proper keyword research and, even more so, fail to properly use the keywords for maximum benefits. I know how to do it but I don’t always to it myself.
Most of the time I won’t shamelessly promote a Clickbank product directly on this blog but this isn’t one of those times. This is the approved affiliate “email pitch” from Commission Blueprint. I will be actually testing it out and giving an unbiased review of the product so stay tuned for updates. If you have ordered this product then let me know what you thought about it.

If you’re like me then you have registered domain names for internet business projects that you think are awesome and you want to develop that online business idea. If that is the case then you have domain names registered that you’re not doing anything with so what are your options?
- Park your domain name with RevenueDirect.com. Earn a little bit of revenue with by ‘parking’ your domain name with several parking service providers and they will put ads on that domain that you could earn some revenue from. For an example of a parked domain, go to www.seattlestuff.net.
- But Why Park your domain when you can quickly and easily turn it into a full website filled with automatically updated content and articles. This is exactly what you can do with an account at WhyPark.com and earn revenue though text ads and adsense. Go to www.woodworkerreview.com
- Sell your domain name. If you have scrapped your online business project and you have a good domain name then get it professionally appraised so you know what it’s worth then see what you can do about selling it. Sell your domain with Sedo.com, GoDaddy Auctions, or even on eBay! Let someone else use the domain name if you know that you’re not going to.
So now that you know what you can do with those domain names that are just lying around. You may want to try your luck with purchasing up some domain names then using them for adsense, articles, or try ‘flipping’ them by putting them up for auction.
I’ve been using
DomainsBot.com to help me find some awesome domain names. It is a domain name search engine that also makes some automated suggestions for available domain names based on your ‘keywords’.
To finish up, here is a list of a few domain names that I’ve purchased in the past and decided not to do anything with them (as of now.) If you are interested in any of these then leave a note in the comments section.

The title of this blog post says it all! I consider myself an “underground” internet marketer. I have not yet branded myself as a well-known internet marketer. This week, I am launching a ‘new’ website, Lifetime Internet Coaching. This is going to be a website for complete online business and internet marketing education for those that want to learn how to create multiple streams of revenue on the internet. So I was going through some pre-launch marketing last week and I contacted some “mainstream” internet marketing gurus to see if they would be willing to help promote this new website. I probably contacted a dozen of them through email and some even on Facebook that accepted to ‘be my friend’. I did not hear back from any of them. One of them did have their assistant reply to my email saying that “his plate was full and couldn’t take on any more projects.” I guess they’re not interested so I’m going at the marketing alone, at least for now. When the website gains popularity then I might be contacted by them (emphasis on “might”).
At first it really irritated me that these “gurus” that make money telling people how to make money online won’t help an internet marketer like me make money online. I do want to clarify that a Joint Venture Partnership with me on this website project would be just as beneficial for them as it would be for my business. It still bothers me a little bit but I can’t dwell on it. I have failed plenty of times when it comes to making money online (a few years back). I have learned a lot since then and one of the most important lessons is, you can’t count on anyone else but yourself when it comes to this type of business. I wouldn’t mind getting into the “mainstream” internet marketing sphere because I think that it really helps your credibility when trying to convince someone to buy your ‘system’ because you can consistently make “$50,000 per month” and so on and so forth.
Another “secret” that internet marketing “gurus” don’t want you to know. For a long time, there really hasn’t been any new, revolutionary technique to making money online.
It all comes down to selling.
- Selling your products (ecommerce)
- Selling information (information marketing)
- Selling other people’s products (affiliate marketing)
There are new methods for the main types of an online business. In my opinion, the best method to sell in any of these business models is through your own opt-in email list. We’ll talk about building a list later.
I want to wrap up now by saying that I sort of expected the lack of acknowledgement from those internet marketing “gurus” and I don’t blame them because I know what it’s like to have a lot of projects to work on. If you’re reading this and you want to get involved in Lifetime Internet Coaching then please leave a comment on this blog or visit this page to find out more.
