Article Marketing Strategy - Selling High Ticket Items
Article Marketing Strategy - Selling High Ticket Items
Having had several emails asking questions about
article marketing, I started looking for info concerning
selling high ticket items online.
There is some great info by a gentleman named
Sean Mize. His articles garner quite a bit of attention
and rightly so. He is brief but his writing serves it’s
purpose.
I found it interesting that he is very open about not
really worrying about how many people read his
articles, as he is mostly looking for added Search
Engine results.
Here is a sampling of his work:
Study this information. You will benefit!

Social Marketing, cPanel Upgrade or Whatever - Slow Down and Read
Social Marketing, cPanel Upgrade or Whatever - Slow Down and Read
I am as guilty as anyone of this, but will rant
for a while anyway, as this is a problem that
many have.
We get so busy that we forget to take the time
to be sure we know the best (or even sometimes
just the basic) ways to do the things that we take
for granted as basic tasks.
I got thrown for a loop today by something as
simple as the new cPanel upgrade. Not really a
big deal, but when you are a SemiLiterate
Marketing Thug with emphasis on the SemiLiterate
for technical stuff, it seems like a really big deal…
I was so focused on some changes to be made to
one of my Thank You Pages, that it took me quite
a few minutes to stop, take a breath and just look
around. Once I did, I found that I could still use
the old File Manager by selecting Legacy File
Manager.
Once I took the time to look around I found that
I like the upgrade. I like the wysiwyg HTML
editor. Lots to appreciate, and I got the changes
to my page made far quicker because I took the
time to just breathe… Read… and Implement.
Seems basic huh?!
But I’ll bet you do it too.
I have folders full of information that can make
my work easier, more effective, and even more
pleasant.
Case in point:
I do a lot of Social Bookmarking, as well as other
forms of Social Marketing almost continuously as
an integral part of blogging, articlemarketing and
a host of other online endeavors.
As a result of my experience with the cPanel upgrade
I took the time to start reading this report:
Grab it. No cost, but read it right away, as you will
no doubt save yourself time, as well as get more out
of your efforts by implementing what you learn.
Overall what I want you to take away from this post
is to slow down a bit and make sure that you utilize
the resources at your disposal.
You will get more done, with more ease, and get far
more results from almost whatever you do…

Launching Your Own Product - A Necessary IM Step
Launching Your Own Product - A Necessary IM Step
At some point this is a step that you can and should
take. Even if you see yourself as primarily someone
that is engaged in affiliate marketing, having your
own products will make it possible for you to engage
in internet marketing and social marketing in manners
that just aren’t possible any other way.
This is nothing to be scared about. Just another step
in the direction that we all are taking. In all likelihood
your first product will by one that comes from PLR
packages. Here is one of mine:
This is a great piece of software that is quite easy to
install and use that will do exactly what it says it will:
Create self-generating websites.
It has a great pricepoint at $17.00 and I am promoting
it through PayDotCom.
You can promote Blog Spider Pro by signing up HERE,
and make 50% of the sales price (less fees).
Why am I doing this?
Well, beyond the obvious profit that I can make from
selling the product I will also be able to interact with
other Affiliate Marketers at PayDotCom in a way that
I cannot do without having my own product.
I can also market other products on my ThankYou
page, which will get more traffic as my affiliates
make sales for me too.
Do you think I will be able to promote my future
products to affiliates that are already making fungolas
selling this product? I do too!
My next projects will be reworkings of things I already
have in place, but I will also be launching some new
and totally original products in the near future in ways
that you can do as easily as I.
I’ll be sharing the methods here as these progress.

Michael Cheney Talks Traffic - Interview With A Traffic Expert
Michael Cheney Talks Traffic - Interview With A Traffic Expert
Michael Cheney, one of the most-respected names in
Internet marketing, has been online since 1995 and
is the man behind the 6-Figure launches of AdSense
Videos and 11 Days To List Profits. He has unveiled a
new videos product - “Michael’s Traffic Videos”
which covers everything to do with traffic and comes
with 100,000 instant ad credits and a tailored Fast-
Track To Traffic Action Plan.
We managed to grab some time with him recently
and quiz him on his favorite topic - traffic.
You’ll get a lot out of this interview including a killer
40-page E-book on traffic that Michael has written
to help you avoid the Top 20 Traffic Disasters!
So let’s get started.
Q. Firstly Michael, thank you for joining us today
in your busy schedule.
A. Hey no problem. Good to be here.
Q. We all know that traffic is important but could
you just explain a bit about traffic for the beginners
out there?
A. Sure. Traffic is the lifeblood of any business
online. Without it you just die. We all know that.
But what a lot of us don’t realize is that just like
everything else on the Internet traffic changes
very quickly. That is, the methods of getting traffic
are changing all the time and that’s where people
get caught out.
Q. What do you mean by “caught out”?
A. Well people fall into the trap of thinking that
just because they know one or two traffic generation
methods that they are some sort of traffic master.
In reality just because you know how to start a pay
per click campaign or a little bit about search engines
doesn’t make you anywhere near a traffic expert.
I’m trying to spread the word that there is a massive
array of traffic tactics that most people aren’t even
aware of, let alone using or mastering.
Q. Can you give us some examples?
A. Sure. Offline for example. You might immediately
think that getting traffic is a purely online activity but
the truth of the matter is that there are lots of things
you can be doing offline to get people into your website.
And it’s usually these sorts of areas that are being
under-utilized and therefore there is less competition
for that traffic as well.
Q. So by offline you mean advertising offline?
A. Not necessarily. That is one method, yes, but
I’m thinking of more creative ways to get people
into your website. It all comes down to the fact
that having asked people on my list it came as no
surprise that most people want to know about free
rather than paid traffic sources. I’ve had to become
an expert in free ways of getting traffic in my time
online.
Q. What do you mean - I thought you were running a
successful online business with lots of cash flow?
A. I am. But it’s not always been this way. When I first
started out in 1995 I had nothing. No money to play with.
Just my own initiative and imagination.
Q. So are you saying you’re against paying for traffic
online?
A. No. No I’m not saying that at all. What I’m saying i
s that, especially when you first start out, you always
want to focus on the free methods. You get the traffic
in for free, make some sales and then you can reinvest
some of that money into paid methods of getting traffic.
This speeds up the process.
Q. So what particular offline methods are you referring
to - can you give us some examples?
A. There’s one tactic I used that costs nothing to
implement, is relatively quick and ended up getting me
thousands and thousands of targeted visitors into my
websites. When I’ve shared this tactic with other
marketers at seminars they’ve started laughing and
slapping their foreheads when they saw how easy it was.
They were also embarrassed that they had failed to use
this tactic. It was quite amusing.
Q. So are you going to tell us what this method is?
A. No! (laughs) It’s in my course! I truly believe in
rewarding those people that are most eager to learn
so instead of giving away all my traffic tactics in
interviews like this I’ve put some of them in an
E-Book I’ve written. It is free though if people want
to get it.
Q. So how can people get hold of it?
A. It’s called “How To Avoid The Top 20 Traffic
Disasters” and you can get it by going to
Michael’s Traffic Videos - you’ll see it mentioned
on that page.
Q. What’s in it?
A. Well I really wanted to raise the bar on a
free E-Book so I spent a lot of time creating it.
It’s 40 pages long and stuffed with juicy content
on what NOT to do when it comes to traffic.
As far as I’m concerned too many people out
there tell you what you should do but not what
you shouldn’t do. That’s where this E-Book
comes in.
Q. Okay. I think we’re about done is there
anything else you want to tell everyone?
A. Just that if they are serious about getting
more traffic into their website they need to
goto Michael’s Traffic Videos and get that
free E-Book.
Q. Cool. Well thanks for your time Michael
and speak to you soon.
A. My pleasure. Speak soon.
That’s it for now, hope you enjoyed this
info from Mike…

Social Marketing Video Slumgullion - A Mixed Web 2.0 Bag
Social Marketing Video Slumgullion - A Mixed Web 2.0 Bag
My Web 2.0 perspective gets wider constantly.
This post will hopefully open your eyes to an ever
expanding world of Social Marketing opportunities.
Slumgullion was a dish that my Dad used to make
for out family on the few occassions when he cooked
for us. His description of what Slumgullion is was
simply that it was a vibrant mixture of whatever
inspired him at that moment.
Which is exactly what the following videos are…
Watch them and I guarantee your outlook will
expand and expose you to a multitude of new
and exciting Web 2.0 and Social Marketing
ideas, products, projects…
You get the idea!
Let’s start with a mind-blowing overview of
just what this whole Web 2.0 experience is:
While your mind is still reeling, and you
ask yourself how we fell down this rabbit
hole, watch this:
This is what it is all about. Whether you
call it Web 2.0 or Social Marketing or even
Slumgullion, that tag line is appropriate:
“The audience is up to something…”
Now watch and listen to seth Godin, author
of Meatball Sunday and founder of Squidoo,
as he talks Marketing. When Seth talks
marketing, anyone that markets, listens:
So now ask yourself:
“What is my Purple Cow?“
Here is one company’s:
Nothing will ever be the same in the
marketing world again. Web 2.0 means
that to a greater extent than anyone
would have thought possible, the market
is now in a greater position of control
than ever.
For the first time, the dog is wagging
the tail, and not the other way around.
The winners of the Web 2.0 - Social
Marketing game will be those that work
with the flow and respond to that market.
By definition, the only way to respond to
anything or anyone is to be a part of the
conversation. Will you be?
These guys found a way to be:
Being a part of the conversation means
speaking in the language it is taking
place in. YouTube, MySpace, FaceBook,
blogging, social bookmarking and forum
posting are all parts of that language.
Now, take your purple cow, and translate
it into that language!

Why Gratuities (Tips) Are Your Best Travel Value
Why Gratuities (Tips) Are Your Best Travel Value
While I can’t say I share Anthony Bourdain’s disdain
for Rachel Ray, I wince every time I see her leave a
pittance of a tip in one of her $40 a Day shows.
Why?
Because if you are trying to get the most for your
hard earned cash when travelling, the last thing
your need is to become known as a miserly tipper!
Waiters, waitresses, bartenders, bellman… People
in the service industry of all sorts are some of the
hardest working folk out there. That said, they are
also nothing if not human.
How does that come into it?
Let’s start with those in the food service industry.
Generally speaking, these individuals are allowed
a certain amount of leeway in the distribution of
complimentary drinks, desserts, appetizers and
the like. Who do you think gets those?
The 10%ers?
Or that guy that can always be counted on to show
his appreciation both verbally and monetarily each
and every time he visits?
The tipper wins every time…
Now let’s consider hotel staffers.
If you travel as much as I do, or even close to as
much as you would like to, then you know that
you regularly need favors from housekeeping,
room service, concierge services, bellman and
even sometimes management.
I can honestly say that I have more than recouped
every dollar of gratuity in dry cleaning, tickets,
complimentary taxi services and a hundred other
last minute or emergency situations where these
people absolutely could not wait to be of service.
The plain truth of the matter is that when you
show people that you value and respect them
and the services that they provide you with, it
is a win-win-win situation.
Your trip is enhanced by improved service as well
as more pleasant interpersonal interaction.
Your wallet is happy when you get complimentary
food, drinks and a host of other services.
Tips show that you appreciate a job well done.
Tips back up your words of appreciation.
Tips allow you to develop relationships that
will fix problems that you simply cannot predict.
Tips are your best travel value…

Article Marketing - Nothing To Be Afraid Of
Article Marketing - Nothing To Be Afraid Of
My own first foray into the world of Article Marketing
was fraught with anxiety, and needlessly so.
The idea of publishing articles alongside the Internet
Gurus that I had learned from made Article Marketing
seem like I was assuming way too much about my own
knowledge.
So I did what many did and rounded up a bunch of PLR
stuff and spun the content, and voila’! I was an Article
Marketer!
Of course I didn’t get the results that I’d read about in
all of the reports and ebooks on Article Marketing I had
read either.
That was then, and this is now…
Article Marketing is something that anyone endeavoring
to make an online income needs to be doing. Maybe our
words are not as noteworthy as a Mike Filsaime’s or an
Alex Mandossian’s but they have an inherent value that
cannot be ignored.
Why is that?
When you put your own experience into words, that has
a power that can be gotten no other way. Marketing
with Articles that contain your own struggles, victories
and yes even your defeats will motivate people to look
at your sites because they are real.
If you think that your grammar or punctuation are not
up to par, and that will make your articles look less
professional, then write them in Word and watch the
prompts. Your Articles will look sufficiently professional
to get visitors to your sites.
It is also not really necessary to submit your Articles to
hundreds of Article Directories. In most cases I just
submit to EzineArticles.com. This is the most widely
accessed Article Directory by far, so it’s reach is sufficient.
Okay, if you really want to use more of a shotgun
approach you can get your Article submitted to over 600
Article Directories at ArticleMarketer.com.
Article Marketing allows you to build traffic, links back to
your site, and a reputation as someone to listen to in
your market.
Article Marketing is a vital part of your Web 2.0 activities.
Article Marketing builds links back to your blog, website,
Squidoo Lens, HubPage or any other webpage you are
promoting.
Article Marketing builds your reputation within the online
community of your niche.
Article Marketing is something you need to begin doing
now…

The Basics Of The Law Of Attraction
The Basics Of The Law Of Attraction
There is a secret in the universe that can bring
you good things, it is called the Law of Attraction.
This can bring you happiness, wealth, and physical
well-being. You only have to know how to apply it.
A few basic concepts of the Law of Attraction can
help you on your way.
A concept central to the Law of Attraction is
that the things you think become reality. The
things you think are energy, just as the entire
universe is energy. As you ponder your reality,
or simply let thoughts run through your mind, you
are shaping your reality.
You do this by means of the Law of Attraction.
The energy you send out connects with like energy.
Then, the universe responds to your feelings by
returning the energy back to you. This happens
for good or bad feelings.
Another basic concept is that it is too difficult
to monitor every one of some 60,000 thoughts you
have every day. The goal, instead, should be to
foster a feeling of happiness, gratitude, and well-
being. This will go further than trying to change
every thought individually. Feelings are important
to the Law of Attraction.
One assumption of users of the Law of Attraction is
that life is meant to be joyous and fulfilling.
Many people feel that their lives can be no more than
difficult work situations, unhappy relationships, poor
health, and a mountain of debt. Unless these people
change their attitudes, they can never know the
abundance they can get through the Law of Attraction.
There can never be a lack of anything that you want
if you follow the Law of Attraction. This is another
concept of the movement. It means that there is enough
for everyone to have what they want.
This is especially true because some people want certain
things and other people want something else. According
to the Law of Attraction, what you want is always possible.
One concept of the Law of Attraction can be stated as
something like, “what you get is what you see.”
What this means in this case is that when you see a
result, you will vibrate with energy based on that result.
If you see good, you will send out good energy.
This energy will return to you in the form of more
positive results. So, if you want positive results,
you need to find a way to see the good in situations.
This is how the Law of Attraction works. If you see
good, more good will return to you.
The concept of asking for particular things is a part
of the Law of Attraction. When you command the
universe to give you what you want, you can get it.
To do this, you must believe in it. Then, you must
accept it as if you had already gotten it. Then you
will find the Law of Attraction bringing all kinds of
good things your way.
The Law of Attraction is at once both simple and
complex. You must only ask and receive. Yet, to
do that in confidence, you must work to restructure
your whole way of thinking.
To do this it is good to study the concepts
of the Law of Attraction.
