Get A Ton of Free Website Traffic Today!

Not making the level of sales that you'd
like? It's probably not your fault. The main
reason is that you're not getting enough traffic
to your website. You have to get the traffic
before any of the other factors come into play.

If you are like most online entrepreneurs, you've
been mislead about HOW to generate more traffic to
your website. You've read course after course on the
topic, but those courses were often ghostwritten by
individuals who were totally clueless about website
traffic generation and inbound marketing strategies.

Big name gurus often described the course that they
wanted written on outsourcing sites, and then went
with the lowest bidder on the writing project. Then
they hawked their courses through some hyped-up
product launch, where most of those selling the
course didn't even bother to read it, and notice the flaws.

I've been in business online for a few years
because I have learned how important it is to successfully
generate massive free traffic to my sites. I've done this
primarily through generating "content" - mainly articles.

Your customers go online looking for solutions to their problems.
When you have lots of content scattered across cyberspace,
your customers find what you've shared, read or listen to it,
and then click through to your site. They arrive at your site
pre-sold on YOU and ready to buy your products. It's as simple
as that!

This has worked for over a dozen years, and continues to work
great today. The only changes have been that now multi-media
(video, and audio) are a very necessary part of the content mix.
What's also changed is that you now need more articles, videos,
audios, and press releases to break through the clutter and get noticed.
In some niches, you have to publish dozens, maybe even hundreds
of articles, to become the dominant expert. Then you need to get your
content out to the top article directories, video sharing sites, podcast
sites, and press release sites.

That sounds like a huge job, and without automation it is! However,
there are sites where you upload your content to a server, select
which sites you want it submitted to, click the submit button,
and it's taken care of. This allows you to do in about 2 minutes
what it would take you hours to do manually.

I personally use and recommend Easy Push Button Traffic. Easy
Push Button Traffic currently costs 1/4 as much as it's leading competitor,
Traffic Geyser, and works beautifully.

With Easy Push Button Traffic, you can submit an unlimited
number of articles, videos, podcasts, and press releases each month
for one low price. Other sites issue you so many credits per month - NOT
unlimited submissions.

Easy Push Button Traffic is also 100% whitehat. They do not encourage
you to do things such as spinning content, or submitting the same
content multiple times with different titles. The sites that you submit
to eventually catch on to this type of nonsense, and then they will
ban you, then all of your work will be for nothing. EPBT encourages
you to think long-term, and focus on having a steady flow of quality traffic.

There are no big secrets to website traffic generation. I have
found the easiest ways to generate free traffic though, and it's
"standing in front of the traffic" by generating lots of content.

Take a look at Easy Push Button Traffic now. Since you're my subscriber, or
have found your way to my website, I've got a special deal for you.
When you use this link, you can get in for only $1.


The $1 special is not mentioned anywhere on the
website. But use the link above, then when you click
through to the order form, you'll see the $1 special
offer. I'm not sure how long that special will last,
so go ahead and get in now.

Go ahead and turn up your traffic, and sales, today.
To your success,

JV Partnerships and Inbound Marketing (Part 2 of 3)

Moving from outbound to inbound marketing has become the method of choice to connect product owners with targeted customers and in so doing adding more value to the product offering that the customer sees.

JV partnerships are, simply put, the way that product owners or product developers match their offering to individuals who own large lists of potential buyers, who in turn promote that product to their considerably larger customer base. This strategy isn't a new one, since joint ventures are really leveraging strengths for some economic, political or social goal. This process in many cases is facilitated by a JV broker or specialist, who provides the service of bridging the gap between the passionate product owner, the large list holder and the customer.

The critical problem that that approach solves is that for many new product owners the major limitation they have is a large customer base. List owners or JV partners don’t have this problem. Their problem is a little different more in the form of whose product do I want to promote, yours or mine? The main question that I am often asked is, how do you go about finding JV partners? The answer isn't a simple one, but properly matching the product and product owner with the partners area of expertise and e-mail list profile is one of the first steps.

The key issue here is that this matching process forms part of what any good marketer seeks to achieve anyway, whether in the B2B or B2C space is really no surprise. The trick really is in the tools that are used to achieve that goal. Knowing what the JV partners interests are and communicating relevant information to them through your blog posts, comments on their websites, membership sites, groups etc, is the norm. This approach becomes even more important in very competitive niches, where message dilution is a constant threat.

Bearing this in mind, putting in place simple and readily available and visible social web tools and leveraging the back end technology that optimizes for the search engines, is a significant advance to help you communicate more directly with your prospects, customers, vendors and clients.

It is safe to say that Inbound marketing as apart of the marketing matrix is here to stay and as a business strategy, it prepares your customers to be receptive to your offering, by adding more value. Understanding how to harness inbound marketing tools and technology is therefore a necessity, before, during and after JV partnership formation.

Understanding the Internet Marketing Joint Venture Process - Part 1 of 3

SOME BACKGROUND
To many, the internet is a marvelous venue to build relationships, connect with people, conduct research on practically any subject under the sun and to create business opportunities. Unlike off-line businesses, the challenges of growing an online business, rests squarely in two areas. First, understanding how to attract web traffic to the website and second to establish online credibility, but lets focus a bit on the former. The issue of website traffic.


A POWERFUL EXAMPLE
The success of Google as a search engine platform, for example, rests on that company's ability to continuously out compete and out perform new and older search engine companies, in continuously attracting a steady flow of traffic. Alexa.com reports that global search engine traffic over the last 3 months, from January to March 2009, sees Google.com with a traffic rank of 1 has 30.85%, Yahoo.com 26.54% and MSN live.com with 19.33%. To put this data in perspective internetworldstats.com reports that there are 1,596,270,108 internet users globally and of these 30.85% of there online search activities goes through google.com!

Well that's all well and good, if you are google, yahoo or msn, but for an individual with a websites and a product to market through that website, the likelihood of receiving even 0.00001% of that traffic is a major undertaking. Achieving that goal would require really good search engine optimization strategies, building social networks (i.e twitter, facebook, myspace etc), running ad campaigns, and e-mail campaigns to name a few. Again to put this into perspective, according to alexa.com the website luxurylaunches.com, with a traffic rank of 64,281, sees just over 0.002% of all global web traffic!


THE PURPOSE OF YOUR WEBSITE
Websites are designed to achieve wide and varied goals, based on the niche, the content, the type of audience etc. Understanding how to bring traffic to a web site, for what ever reason is therefore the key behind successful websites and the down fall of others. For simplicity however we can reduce the over arching goals of a website to three key objectives.

1) To provide a continuous flow of quality information to visitors.

2) To gain information about your customer or visitor, i.e. e-mail and physical addresses, telephone numbers, product tastes and preferences etc

3) To facilitate a commercial transaction for goods and services i.e. digital products (software, electronic books, audio books, music, etc), physical products (cars, appliances, clothing etc), membership sites and so on.

The problem is that, with a new product or service in hand ready for marketing online, you probably don't have any traffic coming to your site. This creates the perfect opportunity for you to begin looking for a JV partnership.


THE INTERNET JOINT VENTURE
The purpose of an internet joint venture (JV for short) is to harness or leverage traffic coming to a website with products that visitors to that site would be willing to take 1 of the 3 above action.
From a theoretical point of view, the joint venture is based on what has been described as the so called "1 (JV Client) to 1 (JV partner) to X (target audience) model". In which one client with a single product or group of products, partners with a large list holder or JV partner, to gain access to a specific customer base that can range from thousands to millions!

Sounds simple doesn't it? And it is once you understand the rules, the objectives of the client, the partner and the needs of the online consumer. As the number of internet users has grown, so has the opportunity and need for product owners to want to form joint venture partnerships to strengthen their product's position in a very competitive market place. In the next article we will tackle the anatomy of an internet joint venture.

For almost 25 years, my mother who has had Systemic Lupus Er... http://s3nt.com/c8wn
Who Needs a JV Broker Anyway?

For almost 25 years, my mother who has had Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) has successfully combined i) a herbal diet and exercise, ii) meditation and iii) traditional medicines, to control her condition. For autoimmune diseases like SLE, finding suitable pharmaceutical or alternative medicinal approaches to control these major types of conditions has been a task.

For example, herbs such as the Chinese herb Tripterygium wilfordii or combinations of herbs with dandelion, yellowdock, echinacea, and garlic have had mixed results for SLE. In many cases with little or no scientific evidence to support the claims.

Over the same time, the use and regulation of nutraceuticals, functional foods herbal supplements and alternative medicinal approaches to control weight, treat addiction, cancer, hypertension, autism etc has steadily grown. Such as the DSHEA 1994 and subsequent dietary supplement Acts for example. With these approaches, the growth and complexity of the alternative health products market has increased exponentially. Also facilitated by medical breakthroughs and an emphasis on disease prevention!

At the 2008 Global Spa Summit in New York, reports were presented which estimate the global size of the Spa Industry to be $60B, $194B in spa-related hospitality, tourism and real estate and a further $700B when taking into account beauty, nutrition (supplements, diet, teas) and fitness! So there are regulatory issues to deal with, products to ensure pass those hurdles and online markets to access.


5 Questions to Answer before a Product Launch
Well that’s all great news, but you’ve just spent 6-12 months developing a product to market and sell online to a health & Wellness niche, so how are you going to get in front of the customers or clients in the niche?

Let’s say for arguments sake you have a product or system for SLE (I would love to take a look at it if you do!) or you have a program for weight loss. You are now ready to launch online. Or are you?

There are 5 major problems you are likely to face as you move forward.

Question 1 Does the product have a large market size?

Question 2 Who is buying similar products and what are the online triggers?

Question 3 Do you have customers already or do you need a JV partner?

Question 4 Do you have the back end systems, platforms and support in place to attract the right Joint Venture partners?

Question 5 How will you manage your relationships with your JV partner, sales affiliates and customers as you roll out your launch?

Significant opportunities for new products and services in the Health and Wellness (H&W) niche exit. However, delivering the right product to the right customer using online marketing strategies, requires you to answer, plan for and solve each of those five questions clearly. The next step is then to act decisively to get your product in the hands of buying customers.

JV Brokers Do What?
Marketing and sales online require very different approaches to minimize risk and maximize profit before, during and after a product launch. Some of the fundamental principles do remain the same, but the platforms that they are delivered through are quite different. Simply put, JV brokers match product owners with large list holders or “super affiliates” and spend a great deal of time, energy, effort and resources ensuring that both parties achieve their stated objectives.

As a JV Broker, myself, specializing in the Health & Wellness niche, my job is to review, access, test and properly match your products with the right partner, before the launch. We provide the back-end research and infra-structure needed to access JV partners. The key services that are provided by JV Brokers to product owners are,

• Evaluating the product(s) developed for the online market you are targeting,

• Putting in place the right back-end systems to efficiently communicate and deliver your product to the customer and finally

• Getting your product matched with the right JV partners.

[Blog] 7 Tips on How to Read Scientific Journals: Today is a beautiful day so how can I make it better for just on... http://s3nt.com/cr06
When I was in my early teens, an Aunt of mine back in Jamaica once asked me, “Why don’t you do the sciences? My response to her was "I can’t understand that stuff!" Her response to me was “If it’s in a book and you can read, you can do it”

I’ve never forgotten that statement and that led me to pursue and eventually obtain a PhD in Chemistry. You see, I enjoy learning, researching, teaching science, but it was never easy for me, in fact I can honestly say that I was never really the brightest bulb in class (if you know what I mean). But enough about me!!

What if you could take a seemingly complex peer-reviewed science, say from a journal like Nature, Science, Cell, or the Journal of Organic Chemistry and figure out what some of the best scientists in the world are doing and writing about? Would that help you build confidence in chemistry or biology or physics? Could it improve your grades? Would it impress your parents or employer? or improve your college entrance chances?

If you answered yes to any of these questions then, 7 tips to reading peer-reviewed science journals can help.

1. Fear is not an option
There are so many resources out there that practically any topic, technique, problem or question can be researched. Knowing how to filter the information is the critical first step in the process and being afraid to explore the information won’t help.

2. Identify the animal or cell model used to study the problem
In order to figure out a problem in chemistry or biology or physics, scientists use a model to mimic the system they want to study. This is usually the most difficult develop and has proven to be the down fall of many a good research project and research scientists. However, the more closely the model is to the system being investigated the easier it is to make changes, observe results and explain what is happening.

3. Identify the measurement tool used to study the problem
Without an appropriate measurement tool to study a problem, results can be meaningless. For example if you needed to weigh an item to the nearest milligram it is pointless to use a scale that measures to the nearest kilogram. Identifying the measuring tool or tools that are used in an experiment helps you understand the level of accuracy and precision the researchers are working with to solve a problem.

4. Identify the gene or protein being studied
This is an important step in the process, simply because without this knowledge understanding a disease condition or biological process is next to impossible. Modern medical research spends an extraordinary amount of time and money studying the genes and proteins involved in disease and therefore learning about these large molecules is fundamental. There are incredible resources on line to help you discover what a specific gene(s) or protein(s) does and from that information you can work towards understanding how it relates to the research topic you are studying.

5. Don’t be afraid of the words
If you think about how you were taught English, French, or Spanish you started slowly to build your understanding of the words, there meaning, how they are used in sentences, then phrases, then paragraphs and so on. Scientific jargon is exactly like learning a new language and it takes time and patience. What you must be willing to do is learn the new words as they pop up in the article and dig a little deeper to gain more knowledge.

6. Be bold when reading and summarizing the information in the paper
The best scientists in the world are constantly reviewing other peoples science and people are constantly reviewing there science. Writing out what you think is going on is a part of the learning process and you shouldn't worry about the fine details, there will always be plenty of help available to help you refine your understanding of the problem.

7. Identify the scientific hypothesis
For most students this is the single most difficult task to overcome and the reason is simple. In our early years of education students are often taught that a scientific hypothesis posed as a question. This is never the case. A scientific hypothesis is always, always presented as a statement, but more important it is a statement that is testable and can be made shown to be true or false through experimentation, data collection and analysis.

What I really enjoy about science is that no matter how much you think you know there is always something else to learn. Learning to read the science is however a critical first step in the process!

Yours in Science,
