My wife is an avid fan of American Idol and she watch the show relentless. Aside from that she spend countless hours reviewing the opinions from fans about the performance of each contestant.

In today’s show there are about 38 million votes that came in. And this just the flock from the United States. I wonder if they have statistics for international viewers. What’s my point? 38 million viewers and they are also potential customers. Selling only a dollar to this followers will give you 38 million dollars. Well, this is only a rough estimate.

Itunes is selling 0.99 per download, you multiply that by the number of viewers then you have your gross sales. Impressive.

Perhaps this might be the computation done by the “ebook gurus” low price + sell it to the masses and there you have it “millionaire”.

Well, but one need to solve how are we going to reach the “million flock”.

Hmmm. Now this is one strategy to consider.

more power reaching our “million flock”.

by the way bye Carly -

Turnkey Sites is one of the sale able items on the Internet today.  This article will explain to newbies what are turnkey sites and how are they going to help web entrepreneurs in their online business.

Turnkey websites are pre-made websites that are designed on a special niche.  In a turnkey sites every aspect or functionalities are already working, it means an entrepreneur will only install the site to the web server (sometimes an install script is already included), and wallah everything is already pre-made.  By the way you also need to include some of your personal info like (site title, contact info, paypal id, affiliate id etc.)

Turnkey websites are designed is such a way that starting web entrepreneurs need not to hire a web developer.

What does it cost for a turnkey site?  This will depend on what kind of niche will you be promoting.  For youtube.com clone websites, a respectable turnkey site ranges from $300 - $800, and sometimes it can go down up to $10.00 a piece (surf Ebay, the prizes are crazy but the after sales service is crazy too <sigh>).

Are there any disadvantages? Yes. Since the maker of the turnkey site is offering it to a large consumption of internet marketer, you might see a similar website same as yours.  Same in design and same in functionalities.  Solution?  After you have purchased the turnkey site you want to tweak it a bit before making it live.  Tweaking it like changing the theme colors and adding original functionalities.  If you are not completely a newbie in developing a site you may want to hire a web designer and developer for a fee.

Another thing if you will be purchasing a turnkey site solely without the hosting bundle, double check if the hosting requirements matches your hosting server.

CTR percentage down, page impressions suddenly takes a plunge, your affiliate conversion rate went from 20% to virtually nothing and no matter what you do, it doesn’t change. These are just some of the things that an affiliate marketer will experience in course of the affiliate journey. Whenever I encounter such things I just wanted to bang my head through the monitor and ask myself why the hell my stat went bersek.

What do you do? During this time of stress the best time is to remove yourself from the situation and relax. Why? Studies have shown that the mind can think more effectively when relaxed than it is under-pressure. Forget a while your CTR percentages, etc. and consider some of the basic relaxing technique:

Watch a movie, you may want to try Mr. Bean.
Listen to music.
Do meditation.
Get a sleep.
Go date the girl/guy that has been bugging you around, let her/him treat you for dinner…lol

Relaxing activity will depend on your preference, you can go from yoga meditation or just hearing a rock music. I know one prominent affiliate marketer’s relaxation activity includes listening to a rock music while drinking beer.

After you have relax for a couple of hours or a day, you can go back to your computer and try solving the problem again. By the way, just don’t spend too much time relaxing that you have completely forgotten that you have a problem.

If you happen to surf in money making forums, one of the biggest debates is whether to buy or not to buy “get rich ebooks’” about adsense or any affiliate marketing. Most of the senior affiliate marketers will tell newbies on internet marketing not to buy ebooks and will suggest to just browse the web for more advanced information about affiliate marketing tips. This article will serve as a guide for you to decide whether to buy or not to buy a get rich ebook.

I have outline the advantages and disadvantages for the reader to see more clearly the reason for buying the ebook,

What are the advantages of buying an ebook:

1. It will save you time in researching provided that the author comes is reputable one.
2. Most the of the ebook will spoon feed you in any procedure (step by step money making tips) that you will doing as an affiliate marketer e.g. step by step procedure in registering as an affiliate marketer, how to set-up a website, how to promote your site, etc.

Disadvantages:

1. Most of the content of the ebooks are basic they do not contain advanced tips especially in the field search engine optimization. By the way, SEO is a vital tool in promoting your affiliate site, without proper SEO or promotion your site will sit among the billions of website that are left un-visited.
2. Most of the link that they will be providing contains affiliate links which means that they will try to sell you again rather than “teach” you to get rich.
3. Most of the ebooks are outdated. Some are written a year go or much later.
4. Most of the ebooks are re-written articles form old ebooks.
5. Most of the content can be found on the web.

The above are just some of the points that I have outlined whether to buy or not to buy ebooks. Just a quick tip before you intend to buy an ebook is to ask someone for review most likely they will tell whether it is worth buying or not.

One of the most painful part of being a webmaster is maintaining the number of visitors that comes to the website. If the surfer wasn’t able to bookmark your site then most likely they will again have a hard time finding you. Below are some suggestions to help you make your customers as regular visitors and stay connected with them.1. Newsletter Offer a subscription of newsletter to your visitor, this will help you update your target visitors about they new contents, launching a products, or whatever things that will keep them posted on what is happening to your site. I cam across to a website where it tracks down storms in different parts of the globe, and the best thing about the site is i can get updates where the located. Pretty cool huh?

2. Offer Freebies. I have seen a lot of website owner offers this kind of strategy and believe me it really works. Freebies may include ebooks, software tools, or industry reports. Just make sure that the items you are giving away are really free and not something that can be set aside.

3. Always Update Your Content. This will give your target the reason to come back to your site. If you are not updating why will they come back. Always updating your site will also increase your popularity in the search engine system.

4. Give incentives. Reward the people who are referring your site to their friend or relatives. This will help in building your network of customers. You may offer this strategy when you can already afford to have the system.

5. Ask for feedback. I use to do this everytime I completed a sale. This will make you improve the services or products that you are offering. There are still a lot of things that can help you maintain your visitors, the above outline is the basic foundation and can help you get started. Be creative and find new ways. Remember every website must is unique.
