Are you one of those new online users who want to make money through Internet marketing, but do not know how? Perhaps you have been in the business for so long but have not discovered the pot of gold yet. Do you have that zest for marketing products through the Internet? If your answer is yes, then read on.

Internet marketing involves utilizing online tools and resources to sell products. You cannot succeed in Internet marketing if you do not know how to optimize these tools to sell your products.

Here are different tools you can use in Internet marketing:

Landing, squeeze pages, or blogs

These are sites where you can direct a client to read more about the products you sell. You can post your product links in all sites where you are member. For every link you post from these websites, you are generating targeted traffic to your products, increasing the possibility of increased sales.

Article marketing

You can write a related article about the product and link your squeeze pages or product websites. You can submit these articles to free article submission sites and link from your profile in the website. This is one effective way of Internet marketing.

Video marketing

You can also create an original video and upload them in free video submission sites. Make the video viral by enticing viewers to click on your video by creating a thumbnail that titillates their imagination. You could also create a controversial thread to attract comments and reactions from viewers. You could link this with other videos, which have products that complement your own. Viral Internet marketing usually comes from videos.

Web 2.0 applications

Sign up with these social networking, bookmarking sites, online forums, and blogging communities, and then from your homepage or profile, post the links to your products site. Web 2.0 applications are sources of viral traffic especially if you have the talent to socialize and interact with other online users.

Build your email marketing list

Build your list by offering giveaways for your viewers in exchange for their emails. You can build your list very quickly by establishing a joint venture with other Internet marketers. You form a group with other marketers who are in the same niche as you are but who are not competitors. In one page, each of you will offer giveaways to visitors. You can giveaway an eBook, DVDs, photos, or coupons in exchange for their emails. Then, all of you will share your email list with one another. This is a quick way to build your email-marketing list and a sound method of Internet marketing.

Now, you can send product emails to your clients. Prepare a template that would catch the attention of the reader immediately. Show the benefits of the product instead of asking them outright to buy. Endorse only products you truly believe in. Your integrity will be your future Internet marketing secret. If they have proven that your products are good and reliable, then you will not have to convince them to buy the next one. Build a good rapport with your clients.

Internet marketing provides a wide range of tools and applications for you to succeed. Find the right ones for you and earn your first $100.

by Charles Farrell, J.D., LL.M., Avery

Best Financial Formula Book of 2009 – The Wall Street Journal
Best of 2009 Business Book – Reuters

According to the 2009 Retirement Confidence Survey, only 13% of workers were very confident about saving enough money for a comfortable retirementdown from 27% in 2007. But they need not worry anymore.

Your Money Ratios: 8 Simple Tools for Financial Security (by Charles Farrell, J.D., LL.M., Avery, on sale now) is THE definitive guide to achieving financial independence and a secure retirement. As we all know, the economy is a fickle creature but by implementing Farrells ratios, people of every age and tax bracket will have an integrated, proven approach to successfully managing their personal finance.

Unlike needlessly complicated guides, Your Money Ratios demystifies personal finance, providing readers with incredibly practical ratios for creating a healthy financial present and future and helps answer the basic questions of personal finance:

• How much should I be saving each year?
• How much should I have saved at my age?
• How much debt should I carry?
• How do I invest my savings?
• What insurance do I need?

Ultimately, Your Money Ratios is not about getting rich quick. Rather, its about developing a long-term plan for prudently managing your finances, steadily building your assets, and last but not least, setting yourself up for a secure retirement.

This is an essential book for anyone who does not want to worry about money when they retire.

P.S. There is also a free online retirement calculator that goes along with Your Money Ratios on www.yourmoneyratios.com.

We all know that we need to build links to increase search engine authority and drive additional traffic to our sites. Here are three similar websites that allow fast link building and, in two cases, actually allow you to earn money off your link building activity.

All three sites run on the same software so they operate very similarly. All are modeled roughly after Digg but unlike the Digg community which will punish self promotion, these sites are designed for and welcome self promotional posts.

In each case you need to create and validate an account. Once approved you can create Scoops comprised of these elements:

1. Scoop Title that becomes an anchored backlink to the webpage you are promoting
2. Scoop Description that must fall within an acceptable number of characters for the site. If you have too many words or not enough you will not be able to proceed until you correct
3. Category for the Scoop which allows categorization on the site. In some cases the category shows up in the URL
4. Tags which help sort within the category. The tags are either attached to a tag cloud or used to identify and display related Scoops on the Scoop page.
5. Your username entered when you set up the account.
6. The opportunity for yourself and others to vote the Scoop up or down. Popular Scoops get promoted to the front page for extra exposure.

Each site creates a distinct page with its own URL for each submitted scoop. You can access the scoop later from that URL.

1. SheToldMe

Advertised as 100% Adsense Share, SheToldMe accepts your Adsense code and displays an ad with that code right below ever Scoop title you create. SheToldMe also accepts your Chitika account, serving your Chitika ads to search engine traffic. Good page rank and an active user community ensure that many Scoops get picked up the search engines and found by searchers.

As a side bonus, every scoop you publish also displays a link to whatever homepage you specify for your account. If you refer other members you get your own Adsense block displayed on the pages they create.

2. Carnival of Making Money Online

Carnival of Making Money Online is similar web site offering up to 75% Adsense share to users who actively submit scoops. A sliding scale applies. No Chitika offered and the site is not as active as SheToldMe. There is a small 10% of Adsense bonus for referring new members.

3. DIY Hound

DIY Hound is stripped down version of SheToldMe focused on Do It Yourself articles. A unique feature is that promoted Scoops get emailed out to subscribers weekly. Very simple to use site but no revenue sharing so save it for after you submit scoops on the other sites.
