Become A Champion Internet Marketer
by Rahimah Sultan
In the world of sports there are many champions whose goal is to be number 1 in the world. People will remember the Olympic champion but not who comes in second.
Fortunately, in Internet Marketing you do not have to be number 1, because everyone has the opportunity to become a champion Internet marketer. You have to work hard like an athlete, but you don’t have to be number 1. You just have to be successful at what you’re doing to earn an income and have a scalable system. (one that allows for unlimited growth)
There are a few things that you should be doing to market like an Internet Marketing Champion.
1. You have to LOOK for what is missing and then provide it. Focus on SOLUTIONS. Not only what people need, but if you want to sell well you have to give people what they want. You’ll be much more successful by selling products that are interesting to you.
Before you create a product do research to make sure that people want to buy it. Even if you know they need it. People spend most of their money on what they want, not what they need.
2. You have to do what other people don’t want to do. You already know about the basics: classifieds, search engine placement, submitting articles, publishing your own ezine, building your own opt-in list, etc. But what else are you doing to build your business? Are you marketing offline, testing different sales letters to see what works best, marketing at least an hour a day, reviewing and updating your business plan, attending seminars, etc.?
3. To become a champion internet marketer you have to have a full-time attitude. Even if you only work on your business part time, you have to have a big vision and big reason. Your reason has to be something bigger than just making yourself happier or more comfortable.
4. Besides the right attitude, you have to have a product of value to give away, a medium-priced lead product and a higher-priced backend product.
Internet Marketing Champions know that success on the internet comes from building relationships. Care about what you’re doing and your clients. Become a champion internet marketer by solving people’s problems.

Online Marketing For Long Term Traffic
by Rahimah Sultan
In TJ Philpott’s article Publishing Content For Long Term Traffic he discusses three simple ways that using content can keep you in front of people online.
Publishing content is one of the best ways to build traffic online. If your content is of good quality it can circulate online indefinitely, and this can brand you as an authority in your field. If it remains relevant the long-term benefit is continual traffic. Three ways to do online marketing for long term traffic and for branding and getting traffic long after being published are blogging, articles and video.
Blogging has become the rule now rather than the exception for maintaining an online presence.
Article directories are still a great platform for publishing content. People still use them to find what they are looking for, and article directories archive older publications so, that information can be accessed.
Video is becoming one of the most popular methods of sharing content, because people are visual and they would rather see and listen as opposed to read text. The fact that they can see and hear you builds trust and loyalty much faster. (Click to read article)

So you want to make money online from home. Where do you start?
Well, what do you like to do? What are your hobbies? What do you spend time on every day that you love doing? If you want to do what you love doing and also make serious money doing it, then start planning a way to get it out to the public. Consider using a blog to monetize your hobby which has now become your business.
You must be able to visualize the business growth. Think big. Don’t put any limitations on your business. It should be scalable and grow large enough to support what you want out of life. In other words, have a clear vision of how you want to make money online from home – a clear picture of what your business will look like. Only then can you truly move forward and make progress. Think what life will be like in the future. Don’t just start something because everyone else is doing it and it looks like you can make some money.
Once you have the big picture begin with small steps. Decide what strategies you will implement to reach your long-term goal. Will it be article marketing or something else. Pick one strategy and use it in the beginning. When you start getting the results you want from that one, you can add another.
Always remember that earning money online is simple but not easy. You must show up to your job daily and consistently put in the work to get results. Your business is your job and showing up to work constitutes 99% of your success. So plan your work and work your plan to make money online from home.

Four Things To Consider When Choosing A Domain Name
by Rahimah Sultan
Picking a domain name should be easy, right?
If you’re thinking of just using your business name, you should think again. A good bit of thought should be given to selecting a domain name. Picking a domain name is like getting married. You’re going to have to live with it until the end. I am suggesting four things to consider when choosing a domain name.
People that use your site will come to know it by the domain name. Repeat visitors will often just type in the domain name to get to the site. For example, do you search for “Amazon” when you want to buy a book or do you simply type in amazon.com? If Amazon were to change its domain name to Shop, there would be a lot of confusion. The same goes for your domain name. Once you pick it stick with it.
Domain Name Choices
Even if the obvious choice is your business name that might not be the best. There are four significant issues to consider.
1) Unwise Choice
Is there something about your business name that makes using it as a domain an unwise choice? This situation typically arises… More

Internet Marketing Rejection
by Rahimah Sultan
Rejection of any kind hurts. It’s no different with Internet Marketing Rejection. What matters is how you deal with it. Rejection does have a place and a purpose in your internet marketing business. You will not get a “yes” all the time. Rather than quitting, use rejection as a motivator. Keep learning about your business and find out what you can do differently or what you can improve.
Power of Rejection
Don’t hand your power over to rejection. Don’t let it rule your mind and control you. If you do, it could be devastating, because you can lose your money and not achieve your dreams and goals.
Rejection Mindset
We tend to take rejection personally because we invest so much time and effort in our product or service. So we need to change our mindset about Internet Marketing Rejection. It’s not personal. When someone does not want to use your services, it’s not about you. Most of the time the prospect’s reasons for saying “no” have nothing to do with you. It may not be the right time, it might not be a great fit for their business, or maybe they are having trouble making a decision at the moment. So you just move on, but you can stay in touch.
Dwelling on Rejection
Avoid dwelling on rejection. Instead focus on what you are working toward and do the daily tasks required to achieve that end. Learn all you can to improve your chances of success and work on your business daily.
Be honest with yourself about what you don’t know so that you can give yourself the opportunity to learn it and to grow, both personally and in your Internet Marketing business. Use the right tools to lessen the chances of Internet Marketing Rejection.
Internet Marketing Measuring for Business
by Rahimah Sultan
Google’s Matt Cutts, in discussing Google’s Internet Marketing Measuring for Business regarding guest posting, states that Google is geared towards recognizing utility. If Google doesn’t recognize utility, then Google will become weaker and someone else will take their place. Only a few people remember Alta Vista. They didn’t provide much in the way of utility….
He then goes on to discuss the importance of measurement.
Measuring What Is Important
Matt Cutts says that a publishing strategy based on Google ranking is not a strategy but a tactic and it’s not a good tactic. He goes on to say that if interesting material is provided, people will read it and they might return if more interesting information is provided. This is creating engagement. That combined activity plays into ranking. Success depends on achieving the underlying business goal.
Some common things that are measured are Page views, Subscriptions, Comments, Quality of comments, Syndication, Time on site, Videos watched, Unique visitors, Traffic sent to partner sites, and much more.
How Do We Know If We’re Interesting?
“There are a couple of different types of measurement marketers use. One is an emotional response, where the visitor becomes “positively interested”. This is measured by recall studies, association techniques, customers surveys and questionnaires. However, the type of response on-line marketers focus on, which is somewhat easier to measure, is behavioural interest. When people are really interested, they do something in response.”

Your Commitment To Internet Marketing
by Rahimah Sultan
If you are starting a business are you fully committed to doing what it takes to make it a success? Have you decided what avenues to use for growth? What is your commitment to Internet Marketing for your business and how do you deal with the marketing?
Are you going to use a blog, social media, traffic exchanges, safe lists, and email marketing? Will you use both paid and free sources. You must include a marketing strategy in your business plan and it has to outline the way you will handle your marketing.
The first thing you must know before starting a business is your personality and philosophy. Are you a person who is passionate, persistent and who perseveres once you commit to something?
I was reading a magazine article by Dr. Philllip C. McGraw in which he stated, “The way you do anything is the way you do everything.”
He went on to say that at age 12 he discovered that he was an all-or-nothing person. If he let himself get careless in school, everything else started to slide. If he aimed to be the best in one area that commitment raised his game across the board.
If in your commitment to Internet Marketing you decide to use a blog as your platform you must make regular posts.
When using social media you have to follow through with ways that increases your audience, engagement, and sales.
With traffic exchanges and safe lists you have to pay for traffic or surf for credits or do both in order to send out mailings (Ads) daily.
So figure out your philosophy or guiding principle which in turn will determine your commitment to Internet Marketing for your business.
