Here are some camtasia videos that I have uploaded to TubeMogul last week. By pressing one button, they were added to 5 video sites (which I could easily increase to 20+ if I spent an hour signing up to different sites), and also updated my status on Twitter and Facebook.

Go ahead and watch them if you want. However, here is the traffic lesson:

In step by step format. This may just scratch the surface, but I like to be realistic about expectations on myself and others.

1.

People visit one of my sites. Let’s say Go Andrea. They sign up for free website advice.

2.

Autoresponders are delivered to these new subscribers in intervals that I preselect

3.

Almost identical content that is sent in the autoresponders is turned into a camtasia and added as a video to multiple video sharing sites, Twitter, and Facebook

4.

Almost Identical content is turned into an article and submitted to article sites with links back to my site. Highly recommended to click here if you want your articles added to over 450 sites with the press of a few buttons. Or you could take a week to do the same thing . Up to you.

5.

Collect this information (the series of articles) and offer it elsewhere as a free report. Allow others (Joint Venture partners, affiliates) to give it away with an embedded affiliate link to get them to send you more traffic.

6.

This information is also the basis of a ‘bigger’ product that you will sell. So it not only brings traffic to your site, it also increases brand recognition, and expertise in your subject matter.

*Please note:

There is no concern of ‘duplicate content’ here. The article submission tool has a special feature which scrambles certain parts of the article so they are always original versions. Variations of the same themes of the content (and the best ones) should (could) be written into blog posts on your site.

Tell me your thoughts! I also want your feedback on this: (Now you have permission to click play!)

If that wasn’t enough education in this one post, see here are my two Camtasia’s (so far) in my series of how to monetize your website :

However, since email marketing is such an integral part to any successful marketer’s regimen, you can’t possibly have all these emails in your main account, or you would do nothing else OTHER than follow other people’s success instead of creating YOUR OWN!

So you do what I do, and open up a separate account somewhere and this is where all those emails reside. I call it my ‘spambox’ …

I just looked through my spambox from the last few week, and here is a selection of SUBJECT LINES:

There are 2 things you MUST do with this blog post:

1. BOOKMARK IT!! These are ALL subject lines from successful marketers! (I threw in a few of mine as well, which should seal the deal for you )!
2. Tell me your thoughts! What are your favorites? What do you dislike? Do you have any in your ‘spambox’ to add? Comment below!

*Disclaimer: I did not include any subject lines that were promoting a particular product with the name in the subject (such as X is live! Go now!!). This eliminated a BIG CHUNK.

I look at web sites and they SCREAM AT ME with what they are lacking and how much more they could be earning.. Just because a business took it ‘online’, does not make them internet marketers…
 
I know there are big time companies that charge big time money for dressing in suits and using big time lingo to make you big time lost and you say… “help = here is my big time money – just make it work”.
 
There are those who can actually do it (use their IM skills to make themselves money), and others who are better at preaching it. I am not neglecting the former as an option, by any means… but I really want to do that so it can be bring me more credibility to do the latter more successfully..
 
Before I started my online business, I was actually very successful at hosting moving / estate sales in my local town. I could juggle a crowd of 100+ with no problems, and the best part of each job was that I jumped in with 2 feet, got very into it.. but then when the job was done, it was over.. I received my money and moved on to the next one. I am not quite sure why I have been sabotaging this business that was so good to me – maybe the drug of working online + having small children helped to assuage the guilt of leaving so much money on the table to try my hand at this game.
 
However, this same idea is what I now welcome…. Give me your problem, let me solve it for you, take my money.. and NEXT..
 
I mean that in the nicest way .
 
I loved doing my moving sales, and I will love helping YOU. (or your money back!)

Email marketing, in my opinion, is the easiest, fastest, and most legitimate way to make money online. The ONLY catch, and its not a small one, is that it is Much easier and more successfully done if you have a topic you have a passion for.
 
I tried my hands at it a few times and continued to fail! I came up with a few topics that I thought would be good niches, and found myself copping out before finishing. I did NOT have a passion for the topic. I did have a passion to make MONEY, but shockingly, this passion was not strong enough to overcome my lack of passion to work on something I didnt LOVE.  So… now I am. True, there cannot be more competition than I have in the internet marketing field, but I have been working in it since the year 2000, and for a long time I have ate, slept, and breathed it! Learning of all the possibilies of making money online was soo exciting to me, that I could hardly fathom the concept that people still actually had to get up and leave their house to earn such pitiful salaries at Mcdonalds, selling paper goods, or insurance! I was almost tackling people on the streets and trying to convert anyone who came into my home - ’ARE YOU AWARE THAT YOU COULD BE MAKING MONEY AT HOME, ON  YOUR COMPUTER, IN YOUR PJ’S, WORKING HOURS YOU CHOOSE’??? ok, I will calm down now.. but you can see the fuel that feeds my fire here .
 

Email Marketing is the process of collecting emails from your target market (hopefully) and converting these ‘subscribers’ into loyal customers who will buy from you – repeatedly. For example, if you are newly pregnant, you may sign up to a week by week newsletter about your pregnancy. Since you trust this website giving you such great, free info, it is reasonable to assume that if they sent you a list of where to get great maternity deals, what to take to the hospital, and once the baby is born, all sorts of ads for MUST haves for one reason or another, that you would make some purchases through their links. They would then collect affiliate commissions for each sale that is made. To find affiliate programs for the niche you will select, do a search on Google for niche (topic you choose) + affiliate program.
 
That example is pretty sophisticated. In it’s simplest form, a simple web page is created. This web page has some catchy copy and offers a freebie. This freebie should entice a visitor to your site to sign up. Now you have their name and email address and KNOW that they are interested in your topic. Depending on what freebie was offered (an ebook, 10 tips, etc.),will determine the content you will then send to your subscribers. Either way, emails will be sent out with an autoresponder. This means you work hard ONCE, and then you have a system on AUTO-PILOT, so that a visitor to your site several months or years down the road, will receive the same emails that a visitor will receive who signs up today.
 
The autoresponders should encourage your list to purchase your product or a product for an affiliate. If you manage to build up a rapport and trust with your subscribers, than you will be able to continually promote new products/services, as they become available. It is highly recommended to have an accompanying blog to your landing page email capture site, in order to get more traffic from Google (who loves blogs) and slowly work your way up to creating a great site, with solid content. How do you do this? Well simple – you take your email posts, and use them as blog posts as well.
 
How do you get traffic? Well if you are cheap, just write some articles with links back to your site, and submit them to all the free article sites. Sign up to Message Boards/Forums and leave posts with your site info in your signature (read TOS first!), you can leave a post on this blog.. that could help . Impulsive like I am? So pay for traffic. Go to google.com/adwords and sign up to start getting paid for traffic. Dont get scared – you choose the terms (as in the keywords), the amount you want to pay per click, the locations they should be viewed, and your daily budget.
 
To summarize (so you can REALLY see how simple this is)
 
1. Choose Topic

2. First find affiliate programs to see if you can make money with this topic. If not, start again!

3. Get a domain name + host

4. Think of a freebie to entice visitors to give you their email address. This is NOT as hard as it sounds!

5. Create Simple web page that will capture emails

6. Write the autoresponses that will go out to Each new sign up. Must use Aweber

7. Create a blog

8. Send some free + paid traffic

9. Rinse and Repeat!
