But if you’re marketing nationwide or in a large metropolitan area with lots of potential traffic from facebook users, you’d do well to study and emulate what these successful companies are doing to to use Facebook : 10 Successful Facebook Pages

This author notes how various sites offer customer engagement and “fun”.

Do you want feedback to improve your product or service?

Do you want traffic to physical locations or websites?

You may just success in different ways than this author. But for national companies, not tasking an employee and resources  to social media is self defeating especially on a popular site like Facebook.

Work at home small businesses may have to scale their presence to some degree but there are still many possibilities there.

I have tried them in the past but for one thing I hate whiners who subscribe – even by double opt in – and then because you didn’t send something every week or they’re too dumb or lazy to unsubscribe they just lot it as a “spam” report.

I also don’t like getting on lists myself and having 50 emails from 50 different people trying to sell the same thing. Now, all these products might be completely fine but when they are mass marketed to me in that format I just shut down and tend to believe it’s all more junk. Maybe – in addition to a hectic schedule – that makes me hesitant to send out emails myself. I don’t know.

But also, the cost of these services to maintain a large list keeps going up. As I told one friend “These guys have gone all ‘Fortune 500′ on us!” As you’ll know if you’ve read the book “FREE”, the cost of storage and bandwidth has been going down so drastically, you have to wonder if there’s not some price gouging going on here in the autoresponder market, but then, as my friend reminded me, one of these companies in particular is supposedly getting clients at the rate of one every 7 seconds.

But that leaves me with what to do?

I am at the point where I truly believe that you have to have a solid autoresponder lead capture system just to function as an affiliate marketer these days. The one time sales are too hard to come by unless you have a way to turn them into recurring income as appropriate.

So here’s the service I found through a friend’s referral (affiliate link): Imnica Mail. I chose it because of the 14 day free trial and the price of $15 per month up to 10,000 subscribers over multiple lists.

I will be doing a review of the product down the road with more indepth comparisons to other services I’ve used before.

You can see the service in use through my new list here.

The interface was easier for me to use in Google Chrome. It wasn’t working that well for me in one version of Internet Explorer.

It doesn’t have some of the bells and whistles other services have had (or at least I haven’t found them yet!). But for what I’m doing – and likely what you’re doing – it seems solid and completely functional.

The one time I filed a support ticket, it was given a timely and accurate response.

I’ll be putting out a special report for my friends on this later which you can receive by signing up here.

So in making this autoresponder purchase from a variety of available providers, it boiled down to this… this provider came suggested by a friend and they didn’t seem to have become uppity with success. The other providers made me feel like they were doing me a favor to take my money…that’s just my impression.

In theory, at least, it could allow your site to make more money by better targeting ad offers to your clientele.

Hi,

We’re writing to let you know about an upcoming update in your AdSense account designed to help you generate the maximum revenue from your ad units. You’ll soon be able to allow multiple ad networks to show on your pages, which means that advertisers from external Google-certified networks will be able to compete with AdWords advertisers for your ad space.

If you’re unfamiliar with what ad networks are, they’re companies that partner with advertisers and publishers to buy and sell ads on sites they don’t own themselves, similar to AdSense. Ads from these networks will compete with Google ads to show on publisher sites, and the ad generating the highest revenue for publishers will be displayed.

To ensure the quality of the ads appearing on your sites, we’re certifying all participating ad networks for adherence to our standards for user privacy, ad quality, and speed. You’ll also have control over which networks can show ads on your pages — you can choose to opt out of receiving ads from specific networks, or all networks completely. This means you can continue to show ads from only AdWords advertisers if you’d like.

Finally, some ad networks use tools similar to Google’s interest-based advertising to show more relevant ads to users on the sites they visit. These ad networks won’t be permitted to collect data from your site for the purpose of subsequent interest-based advertising, but we’ll allow those who comply with user privacy guidelines to show ads using these tools. You’ll have the ability to opt out of showing ads based on user interests from these ad networks, and we’ve changed our requirements for third-party ad serving to reflect this. More information is available at http://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=94230 .

These new capabilities will automatically be enabled for your account, and you’ll see a new section in your Ad Review Center where you can allow or block specific ad networks. Please note that we’ll gradually be adding new ad networks to AdSense accounts over the next few months, so you won’t see any immediate impact on your ads or your earnings.

To learn more about this launch and managing the ad networks appearing on your pages, visit the AdSense Help Center at https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/topic.py?hl=en&topic=13522 and watch our video demo at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HyJPOVLd3I .

Sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team

He knows he “SHOULD” be able to create a stream of relatively passive income from articles generating adsense clicks and affiliate commissions. But to date that hadn’t happened for him. His latest project to make that happen is documented on this new blog. Now I’ll warn you up front, this is an affiliate link in case you want to purchase anything Markus sells. But you can read all his articles without buying anything. Here’s the link: Article Marketing Secrets

Now Markus’ goals are ambitious. He wants to generate $5,000 per month from Article Marketing. Hey, I’d love an extra $5,000 per month I didn’t have to claw and scrape for all the time – wouldn’t you?

But I also love it when someone works to document what they’re working on in this manner so I can SEE what’s going on. I’m sure they won’t tell me ALL their secrets (maybe Markus will) but I’ve learned to read between the lines.

So I look forward to following this with great interest!

I love to write as I have the time, so this interests me because I too would like to have extra income coming in without extra additional work. I personally found his post on auto content generation very helpful. While we all love to write if we’re into blogging, legitimately syndicating content from other writers can help you build a niche blog more easily to be sure!

SPECIAL OFFER: Want to know some fabulous tips I learned on keyword research the other day for free? You can get them FREE by joining my email update list – I won’t bore you with all the other trash you get in the normal “joint venture” emails, I hate those things too! These are just resources I create for my friends who subscribe!

Here’s a dose of reality from the ABlake.com forum.

Lawsuits, faked images of deposits that were never actually made, etc. etc. dot the landscape of that thread and it’s sickening.

Read it when you get some time. It pays to pick your guru’s carefully and just keep working at your own pace making investments in time and money that you feel you can justify. And frankly, you may buy something today as an investment that sits on the shelf for a while before you use it. Just keep coming back and making those past investments in time, learning and products pay off even if it’s only eventually.

Hey, we may both be loser chumps because we don’t live up to the images of PayPal accounts raking in the dough. But it turns out that some of the ones making you feel like a loser are worse than that themselves – many are just liars!

Just keep working till things break in your direction and then repeat what works!

I won’t mention names to protect those in a learning curve, but one company I signed up for is learning quickly evidently. They are frequently adjusting payouts for call ins to adjust for how much business each call brings in.

So don’t overlook RingRevenue.com as an income source if you’re marketing locally anyway, but hang on for some rides as companies learn what is and isn’t profitable for them!

It’s simple to use. You scan through the articles that strike your interest. Here’s one called “Twitterverse Translation – Is Twitter Worth The Time?” . You decide to use it. Want to publish it, go to the bottom of the article and push the “republish this article”. Voila! You are given the html code you need to publish the article instantly! If you just need the text, it’s there too!

One of the great things about the Free ebook (Free to read online anyway) are the SIDEBARS that tell you how so many Free Promotions were structured.

You can see and read the list here: Sidebars

This wasn’t in the sidebar, though.

It’s how FreeConferenceCalling.com makes money.

Personally I’ve used the service, and I’ve liked it. There were no ads or other discernable ways they made money.

I thought “some idiot is wasting a lot of venture capital on this one”. But it turns out they do have an ingenious way to make money!  The book Free, which is “Free” tells how. You can download it for Kindle, Iphone, at Google Books and even a free audio book at ITunes!
