If you know about desktop publishing and like to be creative, think about starting an Internet business with desktop publishing. There are no expensive machines you have to buy to start making money with desktop publishing. All the documents are created using one or two software in your computer and printed out using your color printer. So, you can begin with small capital and build it up gradually.

There are demands for desktop publishing service. A lot of people want to create creative documents, brochures and other publications using computer but they don't know how to create one themselves. So, you can make money by providing them your desktop publishing service.

What skills are needed?

Since everything is done using the computer. You need to be able to use several types of software programs for desktop publishing and possess some design skills. It will be even better if you have natural talent on this area.

What equipments are needed?

You will of course need a computer and below are other tools you must possess as well:

• Desktop publishing software
• Photo editing program
• Printer (laser or color)

Once you obtain all the above necessary tools, it is time to start your desktop publishing business.

The first important thing you need to do is find a niche you want to target on. You will be putting your marketing efforts into this single niche to make money with desktop publishing.

You are going to need to build a website to market your desktop publishing service to the selected niche. Your website should look professional and include samples of your work to show your expertise in this field to your target prospects.

How to get your target prospects to visit your website and check out your service?

This will involve the use of Internet marketing methods:

Pay per click advertising - The method that can give you instant target prospects is pay per click (PPC) advertising. With PPC advertising, you will pay each time a targeted visitor is sent to your from PPC search engines such as Google and Yahoo. It is a good method for getting targeted visitors for short term. But, you shouldn’t rely on it for long run as it can be very expensive to you.

Press release - You may hire someone to write a press release about the service you are offering and then submit the press release to news sites. It may bring in some clients for your business.

Article marketing - There are large traffic article directories that will publish your articles. Keep on writing articles related to your service and publish them on the article directories. This way, more people will know about your business and click the link in the resource box of your articles to learn more about your offer.

Other than using your website to get potential clients, you may also join those freelance bidding websites (guru.com and elance.com). These freelance sites have an online marketplace for freelance projects and jobs; and new opportunities are posted everyday. So, they may be good places for you to find more desktop publishing work.

Blogging for Cash - Work Less and Earn Less

I have been blogging for more than 2 years and recently started to feel bored and tire on blogging. I have worked lesser for this blog for the past few weeks and hope that both my traffic and income can be maintained. But thing doesn't go as I wish. Because I didn't publish as much content as I usually do and put lesser effort on SEO. As a result, I experienced a quite serious drop in Google Rankings for several keywords. My traffic decreased more than 20% and makes lesser money from this blog.

And now, I didn't feel like I want to brings back my Google rankings and recover my traffic and income level. With the traffic now, I still make enough for my living. Moreover, I have found another way to make money recently. It is quite an interesting way of making money but has nothing to do with the Internet. I now feel like want to focus more on this than blogging. I have switched some of my time and effort from blogging to this new way of making money and have got some good result. If thing continues to go well, I will make far more than blogging. But, because I still in the testing stage, so I didn't want to reveal it here yet.

On the other hand, it is not easy to make money blogging on long term. Once you have built up consistent traffic for a blog, you must continue to publish new blog posts regularly. This is to ensure your traffic can grow from time to time. If you publish lesser blog posts every week, you will find your traffic keep on failing. So, you have to keep your content publication frequency in order to survive in blogging for long term. You must be willing to do research to get content ideas and write for your blog regularly. Getting content ideas and publishing blog posts on an ongoing basis will be a tough challenge to you if you want to make money blogging for long term.

For this blog, I still will publish articles that are useful for making money online. But, because I have other thing to focus on, the blog posts and articles that publish here will be slightly lesser. Occasionally, I still will do some blog marketing and SEO to recover some of my traffic. And, I finally I would hope to stop blogging in the third quarter of next year. It’s just too boring and tire to blog for long term to me.

How to Make Money Online by Coaching Others

A coach is a person who has know-how knowledge or special skill in a particular field and sharing it other people what want to achieve success in that particular field as well. Coaches can be an expert at anything from writing to marketing to business itself.

Many people have good knowledge at something or experience in a particular field. If you are one of them who are expert at an area, you can become a coach and earn money sharing your knowledge. On the Internet, there are a lot of coaches who help others in web design, graphic design, Internet marketer, SEO and many more.

There are a few important things you must have to become a coach and make money online. Firstly, you must have the ability to be a good listener. And patience is also needed when guiding your clients. Those people that hire you to become their coach would expect you to listen to their bad experiences and help guide them out of the muck they find themselves in no matter how strange they may sound.

To establish good reputation and credibility in the coaching business, you should know your field well. If you haven't done Internet marketing before, then being an Internet marketing coach isn't a good idea, because you don't possess real experience in this field and your students will find out that quickly.

The tools required for starting a coaching business are a computer, an email program, a website that sells your service, a shopping cart for receiving payment and telephone line dedicated for this business. There will be a lot of conversations occurring between you and your students. Both the email program and the phone line are set up for this purpose.

To start your coaching business, you need to first write a plan. Decide what coaching service you want to offer. Obviously, you will want to become a coach in the field that you have excellent knowledge in.

Then, set up a sale website to market your service. Describe exactly what service you are providing. Publish some good articles and content related to your field. This can help build credibility and expert status for your business.

Your website should also tell how much you will be charging. If possible include some positive testimonials from others who have tried your services to increase your chance of getting clients. Make your site look professional and clean; and also the navigation links of your site should be as simple as possible.

Once your sale website launched, you are ready to do business. You will want as many potential clients as possible come to your website and check out your offer so that you can make sales. Starting several Internet marketing campaigns such as pay-per-click advertising, article marketing and press release are some good ideas to market your service to your potential clients.

Not every potential client who comes to your site will participate in your coaching program. In fact, you may find that the majority of your potential clients don’t sign up your coaching program on the first visit on your site. Since they are your potential clients, you should find a way to collect their contact information before they leave your site so that you can later persuade them to sign up your program.

Perhaps offering your potential clients a free mini course on your website is a good way to collect their email contact information. Those who find you mini course good may go ahead and sign up your coaching program. Others whom take no action after the finish of the mini course may one day become your clients because you have got the email address where you can communicate with them often to build up good relationship and entice them to join your coaching program.

The Beginner Guide to Setting Up a Freelancing Business to Make Money Online

If you are one of the many people who has planned to get into the Internet freelancing industry, there are some important things you must know. Outlined below are 4 necessary things you must have so that you can start your online freelancing business easier and be more successful when running the business.

Website

Even if you are just starting out with your online freelancing business or even if you simply wish to make use of bidding sites for freelancing, never forget the importance of having a website. Your freelancing website should contain information about yourself, what your credentials are, and what you are capable of doing. If you have a good website for your online freelancing business, it would be easier for potential customers to trust you with the work they require.

Portfolio

When starting a freelancing business over the internet, you would need to publish your own portfolio. If you already have a website, putting your information there is necessary. Potential clients will first be looking at this portfolio to get to know your skills as well as what your freelancing business has to offer. They would want to see your previous works in order for them to determine if your capabilities fit their needs. For this reason, you must be sure to publish your best works that exemplify exactly what you can offer to your clients.

Rates

Your website should contain all the pertinent information regarding what kind of services your online freelancing business can offer. Depending on whether or not you have standard rates for your services, you may choose to publish prices in your online freelancing website or advice your visitors to contact you so you can provide them with a quotation for the work they require. However, you must take into consideration that some people prefer to see rates and prices immediately rather than wait for a quote. If you do not have standard prices for your services, you can simply publish a price range for all the services you offer just to give your visitors an idea of what to expect. If the price range that you publish suits their budget, they will contact you for a more specific quotation.

Legitimacy

The World Wide Web is open to everyone and there are thousands of business websites that are not registered. However, it is better to have your business registered at least with your local government. Doing this will help you gain the trust of your potential customers. This will also allow you to advertise your freelancing services in your local newspaper. If you opt to do this for your online freelancing business, you will have more chances of gaining clients since more individuals would rather work with registered businesses especially for legal and accounting purposes. This will also help you develop a better reputation for your freelancing business and it will give your potential customers an impression that it is safe to do business with you.

The Internet CEO - How To Make "Independent" Money Online

Making Money If You Do "Not" Have Your Own Website

What I have learned over the years is that you have to do a lot of small things correctly. One good way to make independent money online is to market your products and services on high traffic websites such as this one. You can accomplish this by having a link or banner (some advertisement of some sort) to your website from their website. For example: Just say if a high traffic website is getting between say maybe 100,000 - 200,000 visitors a month and you took 1,000 - 2,000 (this is on the low end) of their traffic a month, the numbers will quickly add up.

Another way you can make independent money online is to promote affiliate programs. If you have a website of your own that is already receiving a pretty good amount of traffic, you can promote it on your site. But if not, then I would suggest something like Pay Per Click or promoting it on high traffic websites that are on the same theme like the example above.

Making Money If You "Do" Have Your Own Website

You have to build your backlinks if you want to make money online for the long haul. You do not necessarily have to be at the very top of the search engines to make money online but it is crucial that you build a credible website. You have to build a "buzz". One of the best
ways to do this is through building backlinks.

Making independent money online is not like regular internet marketing. It takes a lot more hard work and dedication to marketing on your own terms. This includes using your own avenues to get the word out about your business. You have to be creative as well as think "outside the box". A better way to fully understand what making independent money online is this, ask yourself, "if my main source of traffic was taken away from me today, what do I have to fall back on for traffic and stability? This is why it is so important to have multiple streams of traffic going into your website. Since having a successful internet business is all about longevity, making independent money online is the only way.

Make Money Online with Affiliate Marketing Through an Effective Newsletter

Publishing newsletter is a powerful method for building an email opt-in list and marketing your affiliate products or services to earn consistent affiliate commissions. Many affiliates will create a website and a squeeze page to invite targeted visitors to sign up for their newsletters.

The affiliates will obtain the email address of their targeted visitors during the sign up process. The affiliates will then publish and send their newsletters to the members in their mailing list on weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis.

Newsletters have helped a lot of affiliates achieve success in affiliate marketing. As many people realized that newsletter is a power tool for increasing affiliate commission, so many of them who do affiliate marketing started to create a newsletter of their own. As a result, there are now thousands of free email newsletters available on the Internet. But, the sad news is, many of these newsletters aren't making any reasonable money for the affiliates.

To really improve the performance of your affiliate marketing business through a newsletter, you need to create an effective newsletter. And below are some helpful tips for creating and running a newsletter successfully:

1. The Newsletter's content should be Targeted to Your Niche
If you want to have a newsletter that can brings in decent of affiliate commission for you, then the articles and information of your newsletter need to be directly related to your niche. If your niche is Internet marketing, avoid sending content about weight loss. Your subscribers will want information and content highly and directly relevant to the topic

2. Create the Content Yourself
The newsletter will help you build your own reputation. You need to let your subscribers know that you are an expert in the topic. So, you need be creative. Try to put in more original ideas and write all the articles and content yourself. If you copy and paste other people content onto your newsletter, subscribers who read your newsletter will not see your own work. Then this will mean you are promoting others instead of yourself. If the subscribers appreciate the content inside your newsletter, then they are actually appreciating the original author who writes the content, not you.

But, sometimes, if you see some excellent articles, you can include one or two of them into your newsletter. But you should write your own introduction in the beginning of the article and also let the readers know why you are including the article.

3. Make Your Newsletter Publication on a Weekly Basis
If possible, send your newsletter once a week to your subscribers or once in every two weeks. Avoid monthly newsletters as they are not that effective. Publishing your newsletter weekly is probably the best practice. But avoid sending more than once a week, as subscribers want to hear from you but not so often.

4. Short Articles and Straight to the Point
The ideal length for the articles inside your newsletter is 250 to 800 words. If your articles are longer than that, you can break them into two to three parts. Use more simple words and sentences to make your articles easy to read and understand.

5. Promote One Affiliate Product or Service Each Month
Every month, choose and focus one affiliate product or service that you want to market during that particular month. Make sure the affiliate product you selected is relevant to your newsletter topics. This way your subscribers will also focus on receiving one product offer in every month and they may turn into buyers.

6. Offer Incentives
You may offer free gift or downloadable materials (e-books, software, report, etc) to your subscribers occasionally. This could make your subscribers happy and help establish good relationship. If the subscribers like you, they will stay as a subscriber of your newsletter for long.

Applying these six tips can help you build a revenue-generating newsletter. Just be focused on what you are doing and send your newsletters at least twice in a month.

Money Maker Info Blog Lost Google Rankings about 24 Hours

When I checked my AdSense stat yesterday, I found that my page view and AdSense earning dropped dramatically. So, my first guest was that, this blog must have been experienced a serious drop of traffic. I then went to Google to check the keyword rankings for this blog and found that I lost my no.1 rankings for most of my targeted keywords. Oh my god, Google must have penalized my blog, I said.

But, fortunately today Google sent my blog back to the original top rankings which makes me excited but a little confuse now.

It is so true that Google's ranking Algorithm is very complicated. I have learned and experienced Google search engine optimization for more than a year. I still know not much about how Google is ranking websites. Yes, getting top on Google is about building relevant and quality backlinks; and proper keyword optimizations on your webpage such as Meta title and Meta description tags.

A website that has done well on these things may achieve first page on Google for the main keywords the site has targeted. But Google is smart and monitoring websites closely. A website that reaches top rankings isn't always staying top for long. Google will keep on changing their ranking algorithm, evaluating websites on a regular basis (possible daily) and doing updates. As a result, many webmasters and bloggers have a hard time maintaining their top rankings. Even, some of them have built their backlinks consistently and updated their sites with fresh content, but they still fail to maintain their site rankings when their sites reach certain ages. All these make Google a unique search engine that is unpredictable.

Ranking Drop is My Nightmare
When I first found that my site disappeared on Google's first page for most of the major keywords. I didn't shock at all as I have often seen Google drop websites and got the idea that it could happen to any website. But I feel sad and uncomfortable on this sudden drop; and didn't sleep well yesterday night. Now, I have not idea if this is a warning to Money Maker Info that Google will soon penalize it or is just another Google update that causes temporarily disappear. But one thing for sure is that I will always work on it to keep my Google rankings. Google has sent tons of free traffic to my blog and helped me make good money online.

Google always Did the Right Thing
I personally think that Google has done well in providing quality search result to the users and searchers. I’m sure one of the purposes of Google on changing their ranking algorithm regularly is to provide the best search result (relevant and quality) to the users. Their choose what sites to rank on their first result pages for best keeping and growing their user base and improving the business performance. I have nothing to blame if Google really throws my blog out of top 10.

All Advertisers are Refunded
When my blog disappeared on Google, I have thought about the traffic that I can send to my sponsors who display 125x125 banner ad on my blog. I thought I'm going to be out of top for weeks and not able to generate the amount of traffic (few hundreds of targeted visitors monthly) that I used to generate for them. One of my sponsors has advertised on my blog for more than 4 months. I don’t want to disappoint them, so I made a partial refund to all of them and taken their ads down.

Knowing What Makes People Buy is Important for Making Money with Internet Marketing - Part 2

Easy and Simple

Everybody wants things to be easy and simple. People are tired of running through life. Life has become so fast-paced, that nobody has the patience to do things manually and want products that can help them complete a job as fast and with as much ease as possible. That’s the reason all these advertising services are so successful. They provide you submission to 100s of directories with just a push of a button. That’s the kind of service people are looking for, something that makes their life easy.

So, if you wish to increase your business, keep whatever you are selling easy and simple. If you are selling an e-book, keep it simple to read and if possible give step-by-step instructions. Just keeping the words ‘easy and simple’ in mind will help you create a product that is user-friendly.

Testimonials
On the internet, day-in and day-out you keep hearing stories about being ripped off by some cheat or the other. It has reached such a stage that the first reaction when something new crops up, is that of being wary and wondering if it is ‘legit’. The fact is, it has become very difficult to understand what is legit and what is not.

This is where testimonials come in. If you can get some respected internet marketers to testify for your product, it shows to people that there are other, that too top marketers that do use your product. This lessens their fear of buying something they know nothing about. It gives you credibility and it’s not only your product that people will trust, but also you.

But then it isn’t all that easy getting testimonials from the big wigs if you are new. You will have to earn them. You will have to contact all the big names in your niche by writing to them and telling them about your product. You can tell them that you would send them a complimentary copy if they are willing to review it. Tell them to give a testimonial only if they feel the product is of value. Although, there will be many people who will turn you down, there will be others who will accept.

Discounts and Sales
If you have just come up with a new product and are planning on selling it, before setting a price, think about the value of your product and look at the competitor’s pricing for a similar product. Then decide on the price and fix that as the ‘normal’ price for your product. Think about what you would be willing to pay for it, if you were the buyer. Make a note of that price and this is your discount price. Include the original price on your website and tell people you are giving a discount for a limited time only. Customers love discounts and sales. Who knows, you may end up making more sales this way.

These are just some of the psychological triggers that make people buy. There are several other and I could go on and on, that you need to master. Some of them are easy to implement and some may take some practice.

Do not be under the impression that internet marketing is just a numbers game, like some people say. They are real people out there, like you and me, buying stuff from us. You would want to feel good about selling to them, about being able to relate to them.

You can make people buy by using any trigger, as long as your conscience is clear that you are giving your customers value for money.

Knowing What Makes People Buy is Important for Making Money with Internet Marketing - Part 1

You have numerous choices of making money with Internet marketing. You can set up you own e-commerce store, promote other people products through affiliate programs, auction your items on eBay, provide freelance services, run content blog and site for Google AdSense and direct ads selling, run paid membership website, write and market your own e-books and many other Internet marketing profit methods.

Most of these methods of making money online have one thing in common. They involve products or services marketing. To be able to effectively market and sell your products to your target prospects, you will need to know the facts of what make people take action to purchase a product or service.

Knowing what make people buy will help you a lot in creating successful marketing campaigns consistently.

Now, let us examine some such ways that make people buy.

Fast Action
One such word is “fast”. Humans are basically very restless in nature and don’t like waiting for something that can be done now. Why do you think we go to fast food restaurants, definitely not because the food is great. We all know why microwave is so popular. Because of busy lifestyles, people don’t have the time to do things leisurely. The word “fast” becomes very relevant in the above examples. Let the customer know that your product increases their productivity and speed. It saves them time.

Money-back Guarantee
People need reassurance. They need to know that they don’t have to worry. That is why a product should be sold with a money-back guarantee, to address this concern in customers. The fact that they have nothing to lose even if they try the product, should be made clear to them and this will make them buy. That is the reason all products in Clickbank come with an unconditional 60-day money back guarantee. If anyone is not happy with the product, they can get a refund. The word ‘guarantee’ packs a whole lot of punch. You don’t have to be afraid giving a guarantee as long as your product is good, because the number of sales will increase dramatically.

Limited quantity
When we say limited, it means the supply is less, which means that you are not selling many of the same products. Psychology states that when people see that there is less supply of a certain product and it may get over soon, they tend to buy that immediately so that they don’t miss that product. They may not care if they actually need it right now. They will buy it hoping they would need it in the future and when they do, there will not be any left. This is called the fear of loss.

Make Money Blogging: Host Your Blog on a Custom Domain Name

I have been working hard to build and grow this blog. My hard effort do pay off. This blog is currently getting a steady stream of traffic and earn me a nice income. However, there is a one big mistake I have made, which is not hosting this blog on my own domain name. The domain name ‘MoneyMakerInfo.Blogspot.com’ is actually a free domain name provided by Blogger.com and it is belong to Blogger.com.

What this mean is that I will not allow to sell this blog. With the traffic and income I get now, I should be able to sell this blog for more than USD30,000 if I no longer want to blog anymore.

If you are serious to start a blog for making money online, you should register a custom domain name and host your blog on the custom domain. There are several benefits you can enjoy from hosting your own blog on your own domain name:

You Get Total Control
You will have full control over everything about your blog. You can transfer the domain name to any other hosting company if you find that your existing web host service isn’t what you want. Once your blog have built in consistent traffic and bring in good profit, people may start contacting you asking you whether you want to sell your blog. If the deal is good, you can immediate sell the blog.

Easier to Memorize
By hosting your blog on your own domain name, the visitors can remember your blog easier. A free blog domain name generally is long and hard to remember.

Better Security
You will get added security. As the domain name and the blog are owned by you fully, this means that you don’t have to face the risk of getting your suspended or even deleted. When using a free domain name on your blog, the company that provides you the free domain name can delete your blog anytime when they find that your blog content is against their policies.

You Make More Money Blogging
You give a professional image by having your own custom domain name and own logo. More people will contact you to find out whether you sell banner ads or text links which will mean more advertising revenue to your blog. I do get a lot of advertising inquiries from visitors of this free blog even though I didn’t tell any of my visitors that I sell advertising space, probably because this blog ranks high in Google. But, if this blog is hosted on my own domain, I would have get even more businesses.
