Hi all, It’s been months since my last post, not very professional is it !

I’ve not been slacking tho’ .. Over the last 6 months I’ve had quite a few ups and downs happen within the family life but I’m not going to moan on about how hard things can get, I will however mention the positive things that have/are happening.

1. I have been requested to build 3 websites for a local company and am in the final stages of completion

2. I am creating a graphics package for a client which I may carry on with and release as a WSO . Since I started using Photoshop properly I am amazed on how simple making great graphics can be. I’ve owned PS for nearly 2 years but only recently started using it correctly.

3. I am in the process of creating a website totally devoted to brand new internet marketers (newbies) – This will be a complete online A~Z resource centre for people just taking their first steps and then moving up to the more intermediate levels.
It will take up a lot of  my bandwidth but the site will be completely free to all to join. I hope to get my costs reimbursed via affiliate sales and possibly optional donations.  I’ll keep you posted on this venture

4. And finally!!!…A couple of months ago I  finally reopened my Resale Rights For You site, It has had a great start with over 70 new members joining, in case you have never heard of it before i’ll just give you a quick insight…

As a free member you have access to many new download products just released as well as list building reports you can use to increase your own lists (they all come with MRR or PLR). There are 1000′s articles you can do what you want with.. edit & republish to ezines etc giving you more exposure. In the video area there is an ever growing beginner tutorial list as well as a full WordPress section.

Also, you can advertise any of your own products on site, just upload your product details via the online form and have your product displayed to the whole world – All for FREE!. You also have access to the creator section where you are able to create some great looking ebook covers, squeezepages,videosales pages & finally a graphics creator (some sites charge up to $10 per month for this service alone but it’s all available to you for free).. I’m hoping to add a banner creator too once I can secure the rights.

All the above can be accessed as a free member but if you choose to take the really cheap upgrade option you can have all the above including many of the latest premium products I am not allowed to give away – Just one or two downloads will save you more than the upgrade cost. There is a video course download area bringing you the best in full marketing courses (again with MRR) and also entry to my library containing an extra 650+ (and growing) products, these are mainly from 2010 and a few from beyond but are still sold elsewhere for many $$$, lastly, I will be bring the occasional offer on products I am not allowed to add to membership sites but at a price that I guarantee will not be beaten. Talking of guarantees – If your not happy – you get your money back … ‘Simples!’

As you can see, Along with my 50hr a week day job, family commitments etc I’ve not been sat on my laurels twiddling my thumbs lol.  I am determined to succeed in my online ventures and quit the day job in order to be completely self sufficient. My next projects I have lined up include development of products for the android market, this will take a little time but hey!.. It keeps me off the streets

Well I think I’ve gone on long enough so till the next update take care and every success to each and every one of you!

Keith

P.S. Please take a look at my Resale Rights website,  It’s for people just like you.

Hi everyone, I’ve been quiet of late here on the blog due to returning back to work after a 10 month absence following my heart attacks (as most of you will know)
After re-adjusting my lifestyle from being house husband to full time employment I am lagging behind on several online projects but I should be up to speed within the next week or two so please bear with me.

Anyway, the point of this message is to let all my valued readers know that I have put together a page of 6 free downloads for you to use and profit from. This link will take you straight to the download page… http://olliescrazydeals.com/gifts

By reading this blog post I am assuming you are a fellow marketer like myself, trying to make a living selling goods or services in this massive superstore called ‘www.The Internet’.

Over the last few years I have learnt so much about the in’s and out’s of online marketing and made many many mistakes, both large and small but all important in attempting to be the best I can at what I do. To me the importance to being a success is not about getting in there first with the next big product launch and mailing the world, his wife & even his dog about it just to get a few bucks into your PayPal account. It’s the trust and respect I can achieve by giving customers what they want not what I want them to have.

Ok! this may slow down my aspirations of being a multi millionaire by the end of the month but hey, I’m in this for the long haul and I genuinely get a great feeling when I know my efforts are rewarded via ethical marketing and trust. I’ll never make a great salesman, I’m too honest for that, I’ve dealt with many sales reps here in the real world and although many are great at what they do there are as many who just want to get the money and run.

The main point of this post is to relay the importance of your customers in every aspect of your day to day running of your online empire..no matter how large or small. You will never achieve your goals without your best assets..Your customers, respect & honesty. Here are a few of things you should do in order to gain any decent level of success online.

If you selling goods or services online then you need customers to make money, It’s obvious. So it should be equally obvious that if you have a satisfied customer then that person will want to do business with you again and the odds are that the person will tell someone else how good you were to do business with.

However, if you treat a customer badly or without respect over one little conflict or request then that person will probably never do business with you again and you can bet that person will tell a few others how bad you are to do business with. Getting bad press is so much easier than achieving good press. So here’s  how to keep your customers…

Respect….
The place to start is to treat all of your customers like gold. Treat them well always! You should give them respect and your personal attention all of the time. There is no exception to this rule. These are the people who give you THEIR money, without them you would not make any money at all in marketing. Always remember this!

This part is crucial, there will be sometimes when you don’t feel like being nice. Some people are not nice or reasonable and border on being total jerks and there’s no doubt you’ll run into more than your fair share of people like this. This includes people who accuse you of cheating them, people who don’t seem to understand what you tell them and the worst kind (IMO) are the people who think you and the rest of the world owe them big time!
It’s your job to be the greatest business owner ever and do everything within reason to try to make every single person happy. However, if it gets to a point where you simply can’t continue helping someone because they are just impossible, then move on. It will happen BUT just make sure you are polite and respectful no matter what the customer does. Do not give them any ammunition to bring your reputation into dispute.

Over-Deliver….
It’s amazing how customer problems drop dramatically when you over-deliver to them. For example, you promise your customers a bonus gift if they buy a specific product. They buy the product and you give them three bonus gifts. That’s over-delivering.
Always do it. By doing this simple step you will be building unbelievable customer loyalty and you’ll also cut-down on most of your customer problems before they even happen.

Follow-Up….
Following-up with your customers is a great marketing move and a ‘must’ to retain customers, yet most people just don’t do it.
All it involves is a quick email and nothing more. A few days after someone buys something from you just send them a brief email thanking them for the sale, if everything is okay and if they have any questions for you.
Remind them that you are there for them and then say another thanks and end the email. Do not try to sell them anything else, not at this time. You can send another email a week later, but make sure you first send one email that’s just a “thank you”.

So those are the key tips to keeping your customer base. In short just remember these 3 things:

1…You need to always be nice to your customers
2… You should always over-deliver with all your products
3… Always follow-up on your sales.

If you do these three things, you’ll find that your customers will remain loyal and just as importantly, they will let others know just how good you really are. I aim to be around for many years and if I can gain a great reputation like many other marketers.. John Thornhill, Sharleen Raven, Adeel & Bobby to name just a few then I will be ecstatic.

Here ends the lesson

Many people who decide to do affiliate article marketing suddenly get a nasty case of writer’s block when they start writing articles. New article writers sit down at their computer full of excitement about their brilliant discovery of how you can make money through writing ezine articles. They push the on button, open Word and then – then nothing; their brain is as blank as the page on the screen. If you haven’t written anything substantial for ages, here are three article marketing tips that will help you get started.

1. Practice.

I can’t stress this enough; if you want to make money using affiliate article marketing as a tool, you need to write, write and then write some more. Writing your first article will most likely seem hard, and will take you an inordinate length of time. It probably won’t be very good either, but that doesn’t matter. What matters is that no article you write in the future will ever be as hard as the first one. If your first attempt is not very good, submit it to article directories under a pen-name, that way you can use the article to start the affiliate marketing process without having to worry about people reading your first attempt at writing years later. 

2. Stick To What You Know.

When you are new to article writing, it is best to stick to a topic you know at least fairly well. If you are new to the craft of article writing and are trying to learn how to pick up speed while you are doing it, adding the extra work of extensive research is going to make you lose confidence because it will slow you down. All the article marketing tips in the world will not help you to speed up if you ignore this piece of advice. Write at least your first dozen or so articles about something you understand.

3. Read.

Reading articles that other people have written about your niche subject is the best way of getting inspiration for your own articles. Reading will also give you clues about style and layout, and you will start to get a feel for what constitutes a good article and what things you should avoid doing.

4. Study.

Study what successful affiliate article marketers are doing and follow in their footsteps. Be constantly on the lookout for article writing tips online and bookmark relevant webpages in a separate folder.

1. Short Report: You don’t need to spend hours or days slaving over a report. Just a few meaty pages will provide satisfaction and whet their appetite for more of your content.

2. Checklists: People love having things simplified, and checklists are perfect for accomplishing this. For example, if you offer custom WordPress theme designs, you could put together a checklist that guides them through the installation process of adding a new theme to their blog.

3. Worksheet: These differ from checklists because they’re more interactive, and basically help you brainstorm through something. For instance, if you provide services or information to business owners, you could put together a worksheet that will help them define who their target market is by asking a series of questions.

4. Software: You can hire someone to create basic software for you inexpensively, or you can purchase PLR versions of software. The idea is to help your subscribers automate some kind of process related to your niche. For example, software that allows them to answer a series of questions about their target market, and then it spits out the results.

5. Resources: Help your subscribers save their time by putting together a list of your “million dollar resources”. Who are your writers, designers, what websites do you frequent for information, etc?

6. Discounts/Coupons: Everyone loves saving money, and if they can save money on your products and services by signing up for your list, all the better. This also helps you get people on your list who plan to buy from you, and if they buy once, they’re more apt to buy again.

7. Templates: These can be actual website or wordpress templates, or simply a compilation of ready-made materials, such as forms or design plans.

8. Planner Sheets: There’s nothing like a plan to motivate you into action. Put together a monthly planning sheet to help your subscribers take action on something.

9. Free Product: If you have an information product, give away a full version copy to subscribers, or take part of it and condense it into a smaller version.

10. Interviews: Find a well-known expert in your niche and interview them, then provide the audio and transcript to those who subscribe to your mailing list. A written interview also works well for this.

As all online marketers know, traffic is the most vital important for any online business. Without web traffic it could useless even if you have a great design of any websites. As marketers said, traffic will be make you money. Is that true, yes or no? Yes, if the traffic is a targeted ones. No if the traffic is not targeted, its means com and go.

You will notice that even the finest optimized site, which has the best sales page, will not gain an extra penny without increasing web traffic. There are numerous ways to increase web traffic and most of the webmasters have tried everything to make it to the top.

Although these ways are known to generate traffic and help increase income, most of them will cost you money without a complete guarantee that you will profit from it once you have spent your cash over it. There are many ways on how you can be able to generate good web traffic without spending too much. Sometimes, it even comes free when added with perseverance and patience.

Exchanging links to other sites is a good strategy to generate web traffic. If you carefully study the performance of top ranking sites on the different search engines, you will get numerous links. However, you should make sure that all sites that you make links with operate with a relative or similar niche. It is important that the links have relevance to the theme of your site. Now if you share a common subject, you can get more hopes of getting good web traffic and your site will have a recommendation by the sites they are on.

Another advantage of exchanging links is that your site will have more possibilities of having a higher ranking in the different search engines. This may favorably help in getting traffic from the search engines plus the linking site.

You have probably read an article in the Internet. Most of the sites are open for submission of articles and directories, newsletters, and many more. Most of these sites offer those services free.

If you have a little tight budget, this will be a good alternative and you can start submitting your own articles. If you want to save more, you can write your articles if you can so you will not pay for them. Although you can find many freelance writers that charge small fees, it is still advisable to write your own articles because you know your site very well. Writing and posting articles is an effective strategy to increase web traffic. However, in writing articles, the content must match with the theme of your site. You need to write about something that you are familiar with.

After every article, you must include a resource box. You can also include a short and brief biography about yourself. It is also necessary to include the URL of your website for it to make sense and add traffic to your site.

Traffic exchanges are another form of link exchange in which the members of a certain traffic exchange can view each other’s pages by simply surfing. Each time your page is viewed, you gain a certain credit so the more pages you view other’s site, the more chances of your site will be viewed in return, thus giving you more credits and higher chances to increase web traffic.

However, traffic from these exchanges is not well targeted and it may not possibly produce a lot of sales but it can rather be used to effectively capture names for your subscriber list. Another good and smart way to increase web traffic is by having your own newsletter. The more subscribers you get, the more chances of increasing web traffic is achieved.

This may sound tiring because the more subscribers you have, the more you need to come up with unique and creative articles to distribute to them. This is the time that you need writers to write bunches of articles.

The last good option to increase web traffic is having online forums. You can think of good subjects so that a lot of people will get interested. With a good subject, expect your members to be frequently logging into your site and you can get the web traffic that you have been dreaming of.
