Let me start off by introducing myself to al of you that are desperate to make a full time income working from home…

I am Erwin Chua and I am a blogger and internet marketer. I’ve built a blog that gives internet marketing advice to people who want to know more about how to get started in earning money online . Ones of my main concerns was to share with you my jornal giving you a firs person look over my sholders to see how money is generated out of thin air, even if you have more determination than skill.

I want to give you some internet marketing advice. And one of the first things I have to tell you is Get into internet marketing, even if it’s just Part Time.

Dedicating a couple of hours per day to this matter can put you in the right path within a couple of months.

I’m sure you want to know why, right?

Today, more and more people are realizing that working for a company is no longer safe. At any point in time, you can get fired, downsized, transferred or have your wages reduced.

Internet marketing in Wikipedia terms, “is the marketing of products or services over the Internet.” But what John, Dick and Harry doesn’t know that?

There is a whole lot more to it than that.

It’s not just coincidence that there is a college degree on this, and still that doesn’t explain half of the stuff we have to know and do everyday… Don’t get me wrong, work is involved but the pay is on the large 4 figures a month if you do it right.

I’ve taken a poll and here’s several reasons why people go into internet marketing.

Top 7 Goals Why People Get Into Internet Marketing:

1. To Make Money
2. To get out of the daily Rat Race
3. To Stay Home with the Family and enjoy Life in their terms
4. To Make Friends
5. To Build A Reputation and rise to Superstar Status - WorldClass recognition
6. To Create another Income Stream, to pay their mortgages or maybe to buy a new car
7. I want to live like a hermit (telling such bad jokes was on of the reasons why I got into this biz).

In essence, internet marketing is about the freedom to create an online business that caters to a global marketplace, creating you a list of buyers that you can market to over and over again without the hassle of a conventional business.

That’s why Internet Marketing is so powerful.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. But if you look below, I’ve broken down the aspects of Internet Marketing you should seriously consider.

5. High Mobility - You can Take Your Online Business With You on vacation

Now, I’ve been involved with Internet Marketing since early 2008. Since then, I’ve engaged in affiliate marketing, video marketing, article marketing, social media networking and bookmarking.

I’ve studied how to generate traffic, find a niche, write good copy, and choose a product. And it wasn’t easy! I made the mistakes and fell flat on my face few times, lost some money. I was constantly bombarded by offers and courses and information products enough to make my heads spin.

But I never thought of giving up. And my best efforts came to fruition is when I got coached by the best mentors in the business.

I’ve been coached by Gurus like Ewen Chia, the Super Affiliate; Alex Jeffreys, the ex-Puppy Marketer; and now by TheRazor, the mysterious Underground Marketer that has been radically changing the way I see Internet Marketing.

From their mentorship, I’ve come a lot closer to financial freedom and working from the comfort of my home. And I’ve taken a lot of notes. Good news is, I’m willing to share what I know to you.

Introduction

When I decided I needed a website for my business I had no idea of the very many processes involved. Like most people, I thought web design meant deciding on the graphics and the look of the pages and then by some magic it would all happen.
I have a friend who is in the business of web design and Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) so I approached him for a quote. As a complete novice who is computer literate up to a point, I was amazed at the depth of initial questioning required to find out exactly what I wanted to achieve.

I had no idea about the various aspects and the structure of the site and I found it mind blowing when I learned about the amount of work involved. So I thought other people would be interested to know more about this complicated process and I have asked my friend to supply the technical information for this article.

Stages in the Process

Target Audience

Before building a website there are important questions to consider. I was asked who would be my target audience. Who are my customers likely to be? Would they be children, businesses, home owners, sales people, parents or teenagers and so on?

The objective of the website

Then I was asked, what was the purpose of my website? Did I want to sell products on line or use it to market my business and get more leads for possible customers? Maybe I would want to use it as an online brochure to showcase products. Another possibility was to use the website to foster a community so that I was in contact with other like-minded people, with chat rooms, online discussion and being supported by advertising on the site.

I hadn’t quite realised the scope of a website but as I was asked these questions it became clear that a lot of careful thought went into the preparation before building a website.

How to be Found on the Web

One of the first questions I was asked was, ‘Do you want it to be found by Google the main search engine?’ If I did then there was a whole process of establishing Keywords. So finding the best keywords are vital if you want to be found in Google. Generally most users only look at the first page of results so you will also want to promote your website to get on this page for your chosen keywords. By using a keyword research tool you can find the single most popular keyword for your industry.

Your Domain Name

Choosing a domain name is often quite a problem because every name you initially come up with will almost certainly have been taken. Domain names ending in .com are by far the most popular and internationally recognised; the snag is that it’s very popularity means that the majority of the shorter names have already been registered.
So looking at names with endings such as .net; .co.uk or .info may be able to provide you with the domain name you want.

We were fortunate with our recent Dryzone specific company domain name because we had great advice about registering it a good few years ago and got one with the word Dryzone in it, which also happens to be really relevant to our business.When choosing your domain name it is very important to include one or more of your keywords if possible as this can apparently help with search engine rankings. So although the name of your business is the obvious choice for a domain name, it is not necessarily the only option.

Creating a Site Map

As with any project you must have a plan, the better the plan the better the project turns out. A site map for a web site is part of the plan for the site. The importance of creating a site map is to get it clear in your mind of all the pages you will have on your website so you can prepare the content for each page and begin to design the flow through the website, such as when a user adds a product to their basket, then enters their delivery and billing address and makes the credit card payment in the correct order.

The aim is to make the site as simple to use as possible so that there are no barriers to getting into the website. For that reason often user name and passwordz are set for the customer so that they are not put off making a purchase by having to register.
For a non e-commerce site things are simpler with a contact form which allows you to receive enquiries by email without publishing your email address on the website, thus avoiding junk email.Web forms can also validate the information before you receive it, so ensuring that the phone number provided does not contain words, and that the email address is in the correct format, for example. These things may sound very technical to us lay-folk but I assure you everything has to be decided in advance before starting on the construction of the site.

Copy

The next stage is preparing the content. This is not the design of your website - just the words and visuals you want to have one each of the pages.Having gathered all the above information you will need to decide what imagery you want to use within the website content. As we all know, a picture speaks a thousand words and remains in people’s memory far longer than just words.For each image you should also have a caption, as the caption of an image is the next ‘most read’ words on the page after the page title. Images and their captions need to be clickable. When you click on a picture it should take you to the next stage of the process such as the sale page or placing an enquiry if your website is for lead generation.

Navigation

Another important consideration when building a website is how you want your navigation to work. You can have links within the content of your website, in the text, so there are not just links from the menu. You will need to decide whether the links will open into a new window, retaining your original page open. Next time you go online, you will realise how much thought has gone into the way in which a website works.

Website Design

Finally we come to the design of your website. All people have different tastes and opinions on things so website design can be challenging from that point of view and sometimes difficult to get right the first time for all involved in the search engine optimisation project .

What one person might like, another person might not like. If you are setting up a website for yourself alone then you will probably have some idea of what you want to see on the site. But if, as so often happens, the website is for a large corporation there will be inputs from many people or departments and you can be sure that they will never all agree!

There are a number of ways to approach website design but ultimately you need to create a design brief for the designer(s) to work from. Look at other websites and your competitor’s websites to find out what you like or dislike. The design brief should give reference to the logo, any existing brand guidelines or schemes and fonts and colour schemes, and should also detail which pages of the website that the designer is being tasked with creating visuals for.

The very best results will be achieved by using a graphic designer, and beware - not all graphic designers are the same. A graphic designer who designs specifically for print is working in a different discipline than a graphic designer who designs for screen and specifically the web. So choose your designer carefully, look at other work that person has done and determine whether or not you like their style.

If you are working in the big time and budget allows, use multiple graphic designers who have all been given the same design brief and request three concept designs from each designer. If the client themselves also do a graphic design, even if it’s a back of the envelope scribble, you will then have 10 concept designs. The next step is to get them all together and select the preferred elements from each design. Then give the work to the preferred graphic designer to work up as the final artwork.

The artwork should be finalised and agreed on by everybody before development of the site begins.

Production

Finally the preparation has been done and the site is ready to be built. Now for the more technical stuff! You will need to have decided which programming language to use to build the website. There are two main types for developing a website, one is Unix based, and the other is Windows based. Each one has advantages and disadvantages. If you are starting from scratch then it probably won’t matter, so you can go with the preference of your professional doing the work. My website is built on the Unix platform (apparently!) which is the same as many of the more well known websites such as Ebay, Facebook, Google and Amazon. Also your website hosting must be compatible with the development language with which your website is built.

Accessibility and Compliance

The website has to meet the current standards for website coding and doing so insures that disabled users, such as the visually impaired, can still access the entire website if they are using a screen reader.

Website Development

The best way to develop a website is on the web Server where the site is going to live. This way, those involved in reviewing the work can see work in progress and provide feedback throughout the development.

Unforeseen items

There are always some things that arise in any project which you suddenly realise you have forgotten, so no matter how well the web developer prepares and asks the right questions, there will always be a last minute change or addition. The main aim is to minimise the number of glitches that might arise because they aren’t calculated in and they could cause extra costs and delays on the date of the web site going live.

Launching Your New Website

The moment of excitement comes when your site finally is published to the internet and you see the results of all the thought that has gone into the whole process. We put in a lot of work collaborating on the website texts for our new website at http://cheesegraters.net with the design agency and when the site went live it was a real feeling of achievement.

Reporting and Monitoring

Once your website is up and running, you will want to know how many people visit your website and from that number how many actually buy the products or place an enquiry. From these statistics you can work out the ratio of hits to sales and gradually make changes to improve the ratios. There are some reliable statistics packages such as Google Analytics or Web-Stat.com which allow you to collect and review website visitor data in near real time. All you need to do this is to have a small block of code inserted into each web page on your site.

Another useful service that Web-stat.com provides is to monitor the website and warn you by email or text message if the site is offline. Google Analytics doesn’t yet provide a comparable uptime monitoring service, maybe they just decided it was too much of a headache as it is an intensive service checking a website every 5 minutes to make sure it is still responding and indeed web-stat do promote this difference as one of their unique selling points but it is pretty hard to compete with free. In fact Google Analytics is not quite free, which makes it an even better marketing decision for Google because sometimes it is harder to give things away for free than it is to sell them! Google Analytics is a free service available to Google AdWords advertisers, you don’t actually have to have any AdWords campaigns running but it will cost you a one-time activation fee of £5 (or similar in your local currency) to open your AdWords account, but once you have done that you can go on to use Google Analytics for as many websites as you like.(I am sure there probably is an upper limit to how many websites you can monitor from one account but my web design friend says he has not yet hit that limit and he’s got about 50 sites being tracked in his account!)

Marketing

Once the website is live there are lots of things you can do to market your product or service. The first step is to submit it to the search engines and at the same time write articles, and press releases. Getting links to the site from forums, blogs and other social networking spaces are other options. For more on this subject ask your developer about SEO

Conclusion

Wheww. What an amazing amount of work! I hadn’t realised when I started the process of getting a website up and running, how complicated it all is and how many factors you have to consider before even designing the website. The word web design is really a misnomer, as people often think it’s just about the graphic design on the home page, and the branding of the product. Unless you are a computer buff, most people have no idea how much goes into designing and building a website and the systems that support the work you want it to do. I hope that this article will give readers an understanding and insight into the whole process of website development from start to finish.

Home Improvement And Real Life Tips

The Dead Zone is a TV series based on the Stephen King novel. The show ran for 6 seasons and is one of my personal favorites. It stars Anthony Michael Hall as Johnny Smith. The basic premise for the show is that Johnny was in love with Sarah played by Nicole de Boer he gets in to a car accident and falls into a comma for six years. When he wakes up she is married to another man and they are raising his son. But, this is where the Dead Zone kicks in. Johnny wakes up with a new ability he can see thing by touching something or someone. He can see things that have happened that will happen. So when he sees these things he goes around trying to help people and to try to stop bad things from happening. And every time he touches something or I guess I should say most times he touches something he gets a vision of things. And then he will do something to change that and the vision changes. The show aired on USA. The show was filmed in Canada. Johnny is often helped by his best friend Bruce who was his physical therapist when he came out of his coma. Bruce is played by actor John L. Adams. Sarah is married to Walt the Sheriff who is played by Chris Bruno. Walt being the Sheriff and all is often involved helping Johnny to figure things out and help him.

2) Are they skilled at both offline marketing and online marketing? Specifically merging the two into one strategy for the maximum effectiveness of your marketing dollars.

3) Are they leveraging Social Media? Are they current will Social Media marketing.

Most times the expense is negligible compared to the money being left on the table by not executing a marketing strategy at all.

To success in 2010!

Each year many successful couples enhance their relationships by having a vow renewal ceremony. When you recommit yourselves once again, it accomplishes many things.

Couples that commit themselves afresh are easily reminded of why they got married in the first place. Couples that recommit during renewal ceremonies are going on record that their relationship means a lot to them. Couples who go through the act of having a minister and a ceremony are much more likely to make it for the long term.

So you want to blog for money?

Well, so do a lot of people these days. And with some pro bloggers claiming to earn $100,000 in as short a time as four weeks, just from blogging, it can seem very tempting.

But can the average person earn that kind of money from blogging? In fact, can the average person earn anything from blogging? The truth of the answer is that they probably can’t. The reason for that is tied in with the reason why blogging can earn big money in the first place.

A successful blog revolves around content - and lots of it. If you’ve ever tried to keep up with the job of creating content for a website, or a blog, you’ll know how hard it is. Initial enthusiasm wanes and after you’ve written 8,963 words, quite often you won’t feel like doing it anymore

This is where the ‘average’ person is rarely able to compete. The ‘average’ person starts well, puts in lots of effort and then, after a while, simply stops blogging. It simply takes up too much of their time.

So what’s the solution? As you might imagine, there are many ways to solve the problem, but one incredibly popular solution is simply buying ready made content. It’s done on the internet all the time and it can be incredibly lucrative, if you take the time to use the materials you buy.

If you use the scheduling feature in WordPress, for example, you can enter all your material in one go and then have it appear over a period of time, keeping your blog fresh. Once the material is in and then queued up you don’t have to lift a finger. To make money blogging you can’t get a much easier way than that!

There are many content providers out there, such as used by  justaquickword.com, which offers regular montly content. If you are thinking about buying content - if not you should be - make sure that your provider offers you training materials so you can make the most of what you buy.

It’s true that blogging can bring in good money, but it’s also true that you have to do a lot of it and keep doing it. For most people that can be too much work so if you want to create a blog for money remember that you don’t have to create everything yourself.

In the United States, gold coins were first struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1795. Production of the gold coins was legislated by the Mint Act of 1792 which authorized the ten dollar Gold Eagle, five dollar Half Eagle and the Quarter Eagle whose denomination you would be correct in assuming to be two dollars and fifty cents. So, you see it took a few years before the gold Half Eagles and Eagles were struck, followed by the $2.50 gold Quarter Eagles in 1796. Gold coins were produced in the U.S. more or less continuously until 1933 at the Philadelphia Mint and also at mints in Dahlonega in Georgia, Charlotte in North Carolina, New Orleans in Louisiana, Carson City in Nevada, San Francisco in California, and in Denver, Colorado.

There are six denominations of the U.S. gold bullion coins that were produced during that period. By face value they are the twenty dollar Double Eagle containing one ounce of pure gold, the ten dollar Eagle with one half ounce of gold, the five dollar Half Eagle, the four dollar gold Stella (for the 5-pointed star on its reverse), the three dollar gold piece, the $2.50 Quarter Eagle, and last but not least the Gold Dollar weighing in at one-tenth of an ounce of pure gold. The Gold Dollar was produced in 3 design types in the years from 1849 to 1889. Type I was struck from 1849 to 1854 and is known as the Liberty Head. Type II is the Small Head Indian Princess and was minted from 1854 to 1856. Then from 1856 until 1889 the Type III Gold Dollar was produced and is called the Large Head Indian Princess.

The gold Quarter Eagle, of denomination $2.50 , was in production from 1796 through 1929. Throughout those years the Quarter Eagle’s design had eight major types. One of the original authorized gold coins, produced only in 1796, is named for its having ‘No Obverse Stars’. From 1796 to 1807 was the Capped Bust, Stars type. The 1808 gold dollar coin type is called Capped Bust to Left. The years 1821 to 1827 saw the production of the type known as Capped Head to Left, Large Diameter, Stars Around Head. The 1829 to 1834 type is the Capped Head to Left, Smaller Diameter, Stars Around Head. From 1834 to 1839 look for the Classic Head type. The Liberty Head gold dollar was minted from 1840 to 1907. And the Indian Head is the type produced from 1908 to 1929.

The minting of $3 Gold Pieces took place in the years from 1854 to 1889. 1879 and 1880 were the only years when the $4 Gold Stellas were produced. The five dollar denomination Half Eagles were minted from 1795 through 1929. Ten dollar Gold Eagles were struck between the years 1795 and 1933. And the period 1849 to 1933 saw the minting of the twenty dollar Gold Double Eagles.

There are a number of misconceptions and fallacies about email marketing that should to be cleared up before you commence developing your opt-in list. These marketing misconceptions could pose a serious complication as you begin to promote your business on the web. So here are a number of the misconceptions and falacies that you might probably have heard about email marketing.

1. Not a whole lot of people use email

Email marketing is one of the most cost-effective marketing procedures simply because virtually everyone uses email. Every place you look, you find email fields that need to be filled in with your email info before you can process a transaction or get the content that you want. Almost everybody has an email address to stay in touch with friends and family and to receive very important information.

2. Email marketing services can offend a whole lot of people

The not so secret way to overcome this problem is through double opt-in permission-based email marketing. As soon as you have a persons permission to send them marketing information, make sure that the information that you send is informative and on topic.

3. It’s ridiculous to send email to each person on your permission based marketing list

The key to this predicament is to have a very discerning eye about who to email and who not to email. You can determine this by taking a look at your metrics. This really should show you which opt-in email list would likely give you the highest ROI or return on investment.
