RichMan Millionaire 2010

By Suzanne Morrison

In the current economic climate, many people around the world are losing their jobs and facing tough times. Some even lose a grasp on reality and do not go out an attack the problem they are facing. One of the major problem for people who have been made redundant is how to make some extra money to help tide you over until you find another job

You might be surprised to know that there are many options for you when it comes to making some immediate money. As it is likely that money is tight for you just now, I’ve only listed ideas that are free or very cheap. If you are looking at a business opportunity that costs money or requires advertising expenses, be very careful to set yourself a monthly budget that you can afford.

1. Selling items on EBay is a good quick way to raise extra money.

More items are bought and sold on eBay than any other place in the world. You can create a free account and quickly be selling items through auctions on eBay. Before you sell an item have a look at the sort of things that people are selling - you’ll be amazed at what is in demand!

2. Another way to make money from things that you don’t need or want is by hosting a garage sale.

The odds are you have several things in your home right now that you no longer use and could make money selling. You could promote your garage sale by placing signs out where people see them or running inexpensive ads in your local newspaper. This could bring in several hundred dollars for you depending on how much you have available to sell. Convert Your Trash into Cash.

3. Participate in some Free Paid Surveys.

There are many companies who will pay you cash for completing surveys and it is possible to do this without paying a cent. The best plan is to register for as many companies as they can and fill out screener questionaires. This will give you a better chance of being chosen for Free Paid Surveys or a focus group.

4. Is there something that you are talented at or have experience doing?

If so, how about offering a service online? Examples of a service could include proof reading, writing short articles, website graphics/design or admin work (as a virtual assistant). Many online forums such as the Warrior Forum have a place where you can offer services for a fee.

5. Consider joining a free business opportunity or affiliate program.

Choose one that will provide you with training and allow you to earn commissions from selling products or referring other people without the need to pay a monthly fee. One example of a free business opportunity is SFI.

The ideal world of affiliate marketing does not require having your won website, dealing with customers, refunds, product development and maintenance. This is one of the easiest ways of launching into an online business and earning more profits.

Assuming you are already into an affiliate program, what would be the next thing you would want to do? Double, or even triple, your commissions, right? How do you do that?

Here are some powerful tips on how to boost your affiliate program commissions overnight.

1. Know the best program and products to promote. Obviously, you would want to promote a program that will enable you to achieve the greatest profits in the shortest possible time.

There are several factors to consider in selecting such a program. Choose the ones that have a generous commission structure. Have products that fit in with your target audience. And that has a solid track record of paying their affiliate easily and on time. If you cannot seem to increase your investments, dump that program and keep looking for better ones.

There are thousands of affiliate programs online which gives you the reason to be picky. You may want to select the best to avoid losing your advertising dollars.

Write free reports or short ebooks to distribute from your site. There is a great possibility that you are competing with other affiliates that are promoting the same program. If you start writing short report related to the product you are promoting, you will be able to distinguish yourself from the other affiliates.

In the reports, provide some valuable information for free. If possible, add some recommendations about the products. With ebooks, you get credibility. Customers will see that in you and they will be enticed to try out what you are offering.

2. Collect and save the email addresses of those who download your free ebooks. It is a known fact that people do not make a purchase on the first solicitation. You may want to send out your message more than six times to make a sale.

This is the simple reason why you should collect the contact information of those who downloaded your reports and ebooks. You can make follow-ups on these contacts to remind them to make a purchase from you.

Get the contact information of a prospect before sending them to the vendor’s website. Keep in mind that you are providing free advertisement for the product owners. You get paid only when you make a sale. If you send prospects directly to the vendors, chances are they would be lost to you forever.

But when you get their names, you can always send other marketing messages to them to be able to earn an ongoing commission instead of a one-time sale only.

Publish an online newsletter or Ezine. It is always best to recommend a product to someone you know than to sell to a stranger. This is the purpose behind publishing your own newsletter. This also allows you to develop a relationship based on trust with your subscribers.

This strategy is a delicate balance between providing useful information with a sales pitch. If you continue to write informative editorials you will be able to build a sense of reciprocity in your readers that may lead them to support you by buying your products.

3. Ask for higher than normal commission from merchants. If you are already successful with a particular promotion, you should try and approach the merchant and negotiate a percentage commission for your sales.

If the merchant is smart, he or she will likely grant your request rather than lose a valuable asset in you. Keep in mind that you are a zero-risk investment to your merchant; so do not be shy about requesting for addition in your commissions. Just try to be reasonable about it.

Write strong pay Per Click ads. PPC search engine is the most effective means of advertising online. As an affiliate, you can make a small income just by managing PPC campaigns such as Google AdWords and Overture. Then you should try and monitor them to see which ads are more effective and which ones to dispose of.

Try out these strategies and see the difference it can make to your commission checks in the shortest of time.

10 Killer Ways To Make Your Ad Sell
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
http://www.JaimeParmis.com

1. Use plenty of examples in your ad copy. This will
allow your whole target audience to understand your
pitch completely.

2. Gain extra credibility by using terms your readers
may not understand, but can follow by explaining them
in simple terms. This will show you’re an expert.

3. Reveal how excited you are about the product. You
could use words or a picture of yourself looking very
excited.

4. Tell your target audience you were in their current
position. Next, tell them how your product pulled you
out of that position.

5. Challenge your readers at the end of your ad.
Make a bet with them; if your product doesn’t solve
their problem, offer them a free product in return.

6. Get your audience involved in your ad by asking
them questions. They’ll automatically want to answer
the questions in their mind.

7. Introduce yourself in your ad copy. Haven’t you
ever read an ad copy and wondered half way through it
who is selling the product? It’s a big turn off.

8. Start your ad with a story. It draws people right
into your ad and they forget they’re being sold to.
You could start with “Once upon a time…”

9. Use less than five points in your ad copy. If you
start revealing too many topics, your readers might
get confused and quit reading.

10. Make your target audience’s experience reading
your ad positive. You could educate them or tell a
joke to make them laugh.
