Can anyone create a work-at-home Ebay business?

Posted by Joanie Lulich on August 31, 2009 under Website Traffic Generation | Be the First to Comment

My answer to this question would be “YES“. Check out this article and you will agree:

“You may elect to sell products online as a means of working from home. Home-based jobs are growing more and more popular as people recognize the freedom they offer. Anyone can work from home but it is especially good for people who have skills that are particularly suited for digital delivery. Ebay is perhaps the most well known example of people operating businesses from home and marketing them on the internet. Ebay is primarily an auction website but it has other buying formats that are suited to home workers. Entrepreneurs who produce their own products have found Ebay to be an excellent outlet for their wares.”

How to Get Twitter Followers Fast – A Guide to Grow a Massive Following

Posted by Joanie Lulich on under Website Traffic Generation | Be the First to Comment

Twitter is one of the internet’s newest social marketing crazes. Twitter is reshaping the way that people think about traditional marketing and is spawning a new generation of web 2.0 marketing gurus. One of the keys to marketing with Twitter is to gain a large targeted following. Learning how to get Twitter followers fast is easy if you have the right resources.

First, here are some Twitter Following Limits You Should Know.

There are some Twitter following limits you should be aware of. Twitter limits the number of people that you can follow in an attempt to reduce the spamming activity that is prevalent on Twitter. Currently I have over 3000 followers but have hit some limits along the way. Once you reach 500 followers Twitter will put a hold on your following activities and will make your followers catch up to the 500 mark. Once you catch up and now have 500 followers per 500 people that you follow, you will now have the 10% rule applied. The 10% rule will only allow you to follow 10% more people than are currently following you. You have to build your account by these rules but there are some strategies to lessen the time that it would naturally take for your followers to grow.

How to get Twitter Followers Fast – Getting Targeted Followers

Targeted followers are the key with Twitter marketing. The more people that you have on your Twitter account that are interested in the products or services that you are marketing, the more success you will have. One of the best ways to do this is to search for people that are Tweeting about the Niche that you are in. Once you find a handful of people that are tweeting about your topics, check out their bios to see if they are in your niche. If they are, look at their followers and simply follow all of those people. A lot of people now have auto followers that will automatically follow you back but to really get Twitter followers fast you will have to unfollow the people that do not follow you back. I usually give them about 3 days to follow and then I will unfollow them using a free website called Twitter Karma. Just Google it and you will find it. Regularly doing this will allow you to keep adding followers with out stalling out by the 10% rule.

How to Get Twitter Followers Fast – Marketing

There are a lot of facets to learning how to market effectively on Twitter and there is still a lot of research taking place to find the best methods. The main Cardinal rule is that you should not spam people with an endless amount of Affiliate links. Instead spend some time retweeting interesting tweets an using the @ reply feature to start conversations.

One of the best resources that I have found to date is Twitter Traffic Machine. Twitter Traffic Machine not only shows you many more tricks on how to get Twitter Followers fast, it also shows you how to effectively market to them on complete auto pilot. This program will show you how to gain 16,000 followers in about 90 days and will make you a good income in the process. One of the things that I love about this program is that it is easy enough for the total newbie to jump aboard an make money but it also teaches the advanced marketer some tricks that are not publicly on the web. In my experience I was able to make my money back with this system in less then a week. ( I got a sale at about the 500 follower mark) It is ridiculously cheap and worth every dime. Twitter Traffic Machine.

eBay Basics – A Novice’s Guide to This Powerful Internet Marketing Tool

Posted by Joanie Lulich on August 30, 2009 under Website Traffic Generation | Be the First to Comment

Internet marketing is more than just the hype that people make out of it. In fact, to be able to earn the amount of money that many people claim they have ‘reaped’, one should spend time to do some research and serious analysis. Easy bucks only come after hard labor.

As of 2007, internet marketing has skyrocketed into one of the fastest-growing types of media. Many industries have chosen to engage in internet marketing: banking, music, even advertising. Now that more and more buyers are going online, and more sellers are taking advantage of the sudden surge of opportunities, online marketing continues to thrive.

One of the most popular activities on internet marketing is an internet auction. Bidding for unique items that used to be common items from flea markets is now being done online. Name it and eBay has it: e-books, cell phones, watches, apparels, even broken items! In fact, the history of eBay records the very first item to be sold was a broken laser pointer. It all began small but now, online marketing is worth tens of billions of dollars.

As a beginner, this could all be overwhelming. Well, it need not be, as deciding to engage on internet marketing is a bold move yet not impossible. Harnessing the power of eBay to help you in your endeavor on e-marketing is a wise move. First, you’ve got to create an account with eBay.

To register on eBay, one would, of course, need to log on to the Internet and go to Ebay.com. Once on the home page, click on the blue lettering on the very top of the screen which reads: ‘Register’. There will be a prompt to fill in some required personal information such as your name, address, phone number and your preferred e-mail address. Once this is done, type a user ID along with a password (about 6-8 characters) that you would easily remember each time you would log on.

Let us presume that you have thought of a specific product to sell. As a beginner, it would save you some tears if a thorough research has been done prior to selling this product or offering a specific service. Do not think that eBay is there to just earn you great income! There are many competitors who also use the same venue and it is wise if you learn about the competitors early on.

If you are still bent on offering your commodity, then make sure that you have a dependable wholesaler that would provide all the needed orders that you would require. They should not fall short of goods and should be able to deliver on your specified dates. Once this is settled, the next step is to look for that part of your internet marketing career which could either make or break you-the shipping company.

The shipping company that would be chosen should be highly dependable and trustworthy. Again, it is always wise to do some thorough research. Peruse some company portfolios and settle only for the best.

The next step is selling and marketing. To be able to do this, make sure that you have a catchy photograph of the product that you are offering. Pictures still remain influential when it comes to marketing. Make sure that the photographs that you are going to use are taken professionally (the last thing that anyone would need is a poorly-taken photo).

Next, make sure to put a moderate price tag on your commodity. As a beginner, it is always safest to start small, build a reputation, then grow big in the end. Speaking of reputation, bank on positive feedbacks. Make sure to deliver as the customer requires and you’re in to get good feedbacks. Once buyers see that there are a lot of satisfied customers who transacted with you, then they would be enticed to buy from you as compared to those who have negative feedbacks.

The last best advice for any beginner would have to be-stick with your business. Stay on the business to grow. Constantly drink in additional knowledge (attending some internet marketing seminars for newbies would be a great idea). Once you get the hang of it, the rest would be, as they all say, history.

Facebook – 3 Free Ways to Grow Your Network Marketing Business

Posted by Joanie Lulich on August 29, 2009 under Website Traffic Generation | Be the First to Comment

So you want to use Facebook to grow your business? You setup your profile and place a ton of your company information and your contact information on it so when people stumble on it they can contact you. Most then add a ton of pictures of their products and links to how it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. That’s all fine and dandy if you just wanted to push the “product”. We all know products will get sold but to whom? Who will get those sales? If you want to be the distributor responsible you need to differentiate from all the other distributors in your company. You might think y our only competing with other companies for business and you would be partially correct. You also need to compete with distributors in your own company.

Lets say you are your own product. If that is the case, then you still need to promote yourself. Why buy from you? Selling your own product on Facebook depends a lot on advertising. Generic advertising that most do is blast information on their profile. This generally doesn’t work. If your using your Facebook profile to sell someone you are probably already in trouble. People generally need to be pre-sold before coming to your site. Which means your advertising outside of Facebook has to do a lot of work before people come to you. Then again, Facebook doesn’t really work like that anyways right? Who wants to be friends with a person who is a Giant advertisement? Do you really want some Facebook friend posting profile status and wall posts only to promote a product? That gets old quick, as people will realize that they are being used as a free advertising source.

3 Free ways to grow your business in Facebook is to be a REAL person.

1. Get a Real picture of You

I’m not talking about an avatar image. Most people think that you can add a cute picture of a cat or a giant image of your product and that will help you on Facebook. Facebook is generally used to network individuals and to do so you need a mug shot. Okay, maybe not a mug shot but get a picture with your good side. Some might like y our fancy car you have on you profile but how does that really connect you to your audience? You need to brand your own image onto people’s minds. What makes you different from every other business out there? Don’t get it confused.

Example: If you sell Coke for a living and you have a Giant Coke image on your profile does that really help? Sure people know you either love Coke or work for them. How does that differentiate you from other Coke distributors? That Coke image doesn’t set you apart from every other person with that same image. Your image is really the only picture you have to differentiate yourself. You want to stick out and not be filed as another Coke distributor.

2. Set Your Region
People don’t realize you can actually localize yourself in Facebook. Some people look over this because they are a global distributor. Your shooting yourself in the foot if you don’t let yourself be found. Why would you want to block people from finding you? Isn’t part of network marketing about having ways for people to find you easily? You want to be found by people who want your product or service. Easy ways to do this is by joining networks in Facebook or Neighborhoods. I recommend networks as that is shown on your profile easily.

Many distributors are localized to states or even regions. Knowing exactly where people are will only help boost your sales. What if someone in your area wants to become a distributor but only wants to talk to someone who is local? Location information in this situation will be the difference between getting new business or being looked over.

This is critical as there will be a time when you have enough traffic going through Facebook and many members will start to lean towards people in their region. Don’t prevent people from finding YOU. Generating leads for your network marketing business in your local area will greatly boost your ability to reach out and connect with them.

3. Fill Out Your Profile

Way too many people only put a tiny bit of information on it. Makes it look like your either hiding something or you got something to hide. People want to network with people they know. It’s hard to do that if you got a picture of a cat and you have no clue to what they do in their spare time. Even worse, you don’t even k now what they do professionally. I totally recommend you put where you worked full time or working now.

Education is also a key. Stating where you went to a University and what you studied will help you relate to many people on Facebook. People get addicted to adding a ton of applications and their page slows to a crawl. The NEW Facebook has now placed information in different tabs to break up it up and make it easier to see where someone is and what they do for a living.

Can Facebook Really Be Used For Business? Of course!

There are many simple ways to promote your business using Facebook. Facebook alone should be able to drive significant traffic if utilized correctly. Start generating leads to your network marketing business using simple strategies like these.
