10 Ways To Sell Your Ad Space Like Crazy

1. Give your customers a discount when they spend
over a certain dollar amount for ad space. You can
also apply this tip to the amount of ads they buy.

2. Offer your customers a free bonus for renewing
their ad order. It could be an ebook, special report,
online utility, etc.

3. Sell advertising space between your content. You
just break an article in half and insert the banner or
classified ad between it.

4. Write content that's tailor made to mention and
relate to the product your customers are advertising.
This is more work but, you'll sell a lot of ads.

5. Tell your customers when they buy an ad you'll
also add it to your free ebook and message board
for free.

6. Offer to endorse the product your customers are
advertising before or after their ad. In all honesty,
you would have try out the product first.

7. Write a review for your customer's product to
place under their ad. This is similar to a testimonial
or endorsement but more in-depth.

8. Offer a buy 2 ads and get 1 free deal. With the
slow economy and advertising sales, most businesses
are bound to be looking for a good ad deal.

9. Give your customers a ton of free bonuses when
they buy ad space. It can be submission software,
an ebook full of advertising or copywriting tips, etc.

10. Guarantee your customer's advertising results.
If they don't like the traffic they receive, give them
a refund or another ad for free.

Finding Your Home Business Niche.

When some folks begin to think about a business of their own,
they know in that very moment what kind they are going to start.
Then, there are the rest of us...

Knowing that we want to have a business of our own is not
enough. Many of us have struggled with the important question of
what type of enterprise we would like to start.

Franchises offer a simple pre-packaged money making idea, but
the cost of a franchise often makes it a prohibitive option to
most folks who contemplate going out on their own.

For those who do not have a million dollars to buy a McDonalds
franchise, we must look to other ideas for our own business.

There are literally hundreds of lucrative home business ideas
for you to choose from, which will suit every type of
personality and all levels of financing. From selling
information on the Internet as a infopreneur, to growing
delicious gourmet mushrooms for sale to restaurants and catering
companies; there is a pile of money to be made by filling a
need, for these and a host of other necessary services.

Of course, actually liking what you do, will have a lot to do
with the success of your new venture, so be sure to pick a home
business that you`ll enjoy running and that will keep you
motivated.

For example, if you`re a math whiz, an accounting or income tax
service might be the ideal home business for you to start.
Perhaps writing is your forte and you`d like to start your own
home based copywriting service or advertising agency. Each of
these businesses can be run successfully--and profitably from
the comfort of your own home.

Academia might not be your cup of tea, but maybe you are good
with your hands --- having a creative genius where crafts are
concerned. Craft items are red-hot sellers at swap meets,
country fairs and world wide over the Internet, and they can
provide you with solid profits. If crafts don`t interest you,
then why not start a laundry service with pick-up and delivery,
or a shopping service for shut-in`s--even a companion service or
granny sitter or a doctor shuttle service; any of which, could
be much in demand, in and around your neighborhood or community.

When brainstorming new ideas for your future home business, keep
in mind the soul of any successful endeavor is providing a
product or service that others will actually purchase in
quantities. Satisfy the needs of your target market, and your
target market will keep you and your home based business
healthy, happy and profitable.

Below are some suggestions for home business ideas that might
help you decide on a suitable venture in which to invest.

Multi-level-marketing (mlm), floral/plant service for offices
and hospitals, pooper-scooper service, dog walking service,
answering service, vending machine service, gift basket service,
homemade soap maker, mobile windshield repair service, mobile
tire repair service, income tax specialist, researcher,
freelance writer, business card and letterhead designer,
courier, shut-in/shuttle service, landscaping service, tree
trimming service, wood crafter, carpenter, crafts and crafting
supplies, pool cleaning service, plants/nursery starts, growing
herbs, growing mushrooms, garage sale and swap meet vendor,
proofreader, private investigator, typing service, interior
decorator/designer, website design, wedding consultant, hot
lunch/snack vendor at local courthouses, pet sitting service,
pet grooming service, Internet entrepreneur, paralegal, gourmet
catering service, new media production, mobile cosmetic
technician, mobile nail technician, mobile hair stylist,
aerobics instructor, personal fitness trainer, advertising
consultant, companion service, small printing service.

Ideas, ideas; hopefully the above ideas will give you some fresh
ideas of your own to mull over. A spring board if you will, on
which to dive into your own chosen home business.

When you work from home, any business you start has the
potential to explode into a perpetual gold mine! It just depends
on how much your home business is in demand around your
community or on the Internet. Your home business might start
slow and steady, regularly picking up clients as you become more
established. On the other hand, your chosen home business may
take off like wildfire, quickly becoming too hot for you to
handle by yourself (well done!). This is the time to enlist the
help of willing family members to help you out in your time of
need, which will make your business into a friendly, family
concern. This will also help family members better understand
your business and get a grasp on the mechanics of profit.

Good luck in all your decisions and have fun with your home
business, which ever one you choose, and don`t forget to enjoy
your newfound freedom!

Driving traffic to your blog made easy !

Blogging is interesting but when you can’t drive traffic to your blog,it’s a big issue.If you are in this situation,don’t worry,many baby bloggers are in the same kind of shoes.They feel they are the only one reading their blog.But,you will get help from the following tips:

1.Submit Your Site to Google and Yahoo.It amazes me how many people set up sites or blogs and never bother to submit to the major search engines like Google and Yahoo.To submit your site to Google,just go to here. To submit your site to Yahoo,click here. When the page loads,just click on Submit Site and then follow the promptings. This ensures your site is indexed by the search engines and then you begin to get traffic through them.

2.Offer to Guestwrite for popular blogs. So many bloggers get engrossed with their blog and always like to reserve their best articles for their own blog but I tell you,what’s the use of putting your best articles on a blog no one reads? Better offer to put such articles on widely-read blogs as a guestwriter and use them to drive traffic to your blog.For instance,if your blog is in the self-help niche,look out for popular self-help blogs and offer to guestwrite for them.I am sure this will bring you significant traffic.

3.Leave comments on blogs in the same niche as yours.I tell you this works because I have tried it. Don’t just read other blogs,leave comments on them with a link to your blog.This will asist your traffic efforts.

4.Do Carnival Submissions.Just go to here to submit an article.I do this every week and I tell you,it brings backlinks which are good for search engine traffic.Don’t spam the carnivals by submitting too often.Once a week is okay and please make sure you submit your article to the appropriate carnival.

5.Submit Your Blog to Blog Directories.There are a thousand and one directories you can submit to.For a full listing,please click here.But one thing I will advise you do is to set up an email account,specifically for this as you may tend to receive several spam emails after the submission.

6.Write Quality Content.I’m sure you are asking what has this got to do with driving traffic.It has everything to do with it because on the net,quality content wins.If you have content people cannot find anywhere else,other sites will pick up your articles and use and that will bring you a lot of traffic.

7.Syndicate your content.What I mean by this is,allow other people use your content with your bio intact.This will also give you a lot of links and generally bring you traffic.

8.Use social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Stumbleupon, Digg,etc to get traffic.

9.This is classic but it works.Write articles and submit to article directories such as EzineArticles, GoArticles, Isnare,etc.Don’t forget to put your bio containing your blog url at the end of each article so readers who read your articles at these blogs can visit your blog.

10.Network at forums.At the end of each post you make,put the url of your blog so people that read your post can visit your blog.You can actually do this through your signature.Just click on your profile and in the space provided for signature,put the url of your blog ss well as a powerful benefit statement such as ‘Free ebooks on….Visit http://www.yourblogurl.com. If your blog is in the self-help niche,you promote it through self-help forums.

11.Click here for more resources on driving traffic to your blog.
If you follow the above tips seriously,I believe you can generate a lot of laser targetted traffic to your blog.

Dead Simple Way To Make $20 Daily From Adsense

I have always taken adsense revenue lightly. Of late, I am having a total rethink because adsense is one easy way to make a passive income that just has a habit of not stopping. Okay, here’s how to easily pull $20 every single day from adsense.If you don’t have a website, the first thing you need to do is research a high traffic web niche. Niches like health, internet marketing, affiliate marketing, music, dating etc. These niches get a lot of traffic pull. Your goal will be to give out quality free stuff about the topic you choose to pull in traffic.

The next thing to do is to register a domain name and build a website, blog or forum around that niche. If you consider that too much of a trouble, just go to blogger.com and create an account in 3steps. If you have a site already, just skip this step and move on to the next. Next, go to http://articlejoint.com, http://ezinearticles.com, http://ideamarketers.com or any other article directory and pick up articles and quality information for your new site. Post the articles and go to the next step.Once you have that up and ready, go to google.com/adsense/ and sign up a free adsense account. They will manually review your site, so it may take a while but usually not more than 48hours.

Once you are approved, login and follow the step-by-step help in the control panel to generate your adsense codes.Go back to your website and insert the codes. Test to see everything works fine but please don’t click on the ads yourself because google pays you each time the ads are clicked and clicking it amounts to cheating (all stated in the rules).You are almost done. The last bit is to pull people more traffic to your site, so they will pick up the quality information and also click your ads. This can be done fairly easily. You can write a press release and submit to prweb.com, talk about the topic at online forums and leave a signature containing your website’s link, write articles, submit your site to search engines etc.The goal is to get people to start coming.

Once the traffic starts flowing, you will make $20 a day easily and with time shoot up the figure astronomically.
