What Is An Affiliate Program and How Can It Make Me Money?
by Lori Redfield
What is an affiliate program and how can it make me money? You may have
heard the buzz terms, "affiliate programs" or "associate programs’.
Chances are your think of them in one of two ways, either it’s got to
be another one of those Internet "work at home" scams. Or, "That’s just
out of my league."

Irreverent soliloquies on obscure pop bands from
Asia, blow-by-blow accounts of fishing trips in Alaska, hand signal
guides, and rapid-fire political debates spanning the ideological
spectrum - virtually any topic on someone's mind, is fodder for
bloggers. Blogs can be full of useless, arcane drivel and raunchy
gossip. In the so-called blogosphere, everybody's a content
creator, editor, publisher, diarist, and critic. Quirky and acerbic
rants are par for the course. Once largely an underground phenomenon,
blogging has gone mainstream, attracting marketers particularly eager
to get in front of hip 18- to 34-year-olds and savvy influencers.

Think You Can't Afford Help? Think Again!
By Diane Hughes
So many small business owners - especially those who work from home -
are very pressed for time. After all, as an independent professional,
you must wear the hats of: accountant, salesperson, customer service
representative, marketing manager, distribution manager, tax
professional, and countless others. While you may need help
desperately, you probably think you can’t afford to hire someone. The
truth be known, you can actually SAVE money by using an assistant.
Think of it this way. How do you make your money? Providing a product?
Offering a service? Soliciting memberships? Regardless, you have to DO
something (promote the product, perform the service, solicit the
membership) to get that money. When you must be all things to all
people, it takes valuable time away from the one thing that brings in
cash for you. Hiring an assistant can free you up to make more money.

Do Your Customers Waste Your Time?
By Richard Grady
I saw a post on a marketing forum a few weeks ago and it was from
a chap that had purchased a piece of software from a well known
Internet marketer. After purchasing the product, the buyer had sent
several emails to the seller with questions about how to install/use
the software. These questions were answered and then followed up with
several more emails all filled with further questions.
It turned out that the buyer was very new to computing and this lack of
experience meant that he needed the seller to educate him in far more
than how to use the software that he had purchased (ie. how to use
Adobe Acrobat Reader, how to upload files by FTP etc). In the end, the
seller refunded the payment that had been made for the software on the
basis that he simply didn't have the time to train the buyer on how to
use his computer.

Evaluating Spam Costs and Filtering Techniques
Digital Science, August 25, 2004
Author: Avatar
Editor: Agi
Spam is the bane of Internet life these days and it represents a problem
showing no signs of slowing...in fact, it's only getting worse. Here
are some amazing and frightening statistics concerning spam. In late
2002 a San Francisco research company, Ferris Research, estimated the
total cost of spam to U.S. corporations reached 8.9 billion dollars
($8,900,000,000) in lost productivity. At first blush, this might
strike you as ludicrous, however the numbers are fairly easy to
validate.
A recent
study done by the Federal Trade Commission, pulling together numbers
from many different sources, revealed about 77% of all email recipients
spend approximately 10 minutes per day dealing with spam in their
inbox. If an individual earns $25 per hour, these 10 minutes equate to
$4.16 each and every workday, totaling upwards of $83 monthly for one
employee. Still seems high to you? Consider the volume of mail and time
spent per message.

RSS Attracts Really Serious Money
Wired News, August 26, 2004
By Daniel Terdiman
Really Simple Syndication is starting to attract some real money.
This is especially true after Technorati -- one of the leading blog and
Really Simple Syndication, or RSS, tracking services -- acknowledged
Monday it recently closed a multimillion-dollar round of venture
capital funding. While Technorati's
haul is in and of itself impressive, it's the expected ripple effect on
other RSS technology developers that has some in the industry excited.
"I think this is clearly, in my opinion, the first of the many fundings
you will see in the blog and RSS space," said Om Malik, who broke the news about Technorati's funding, which reportedly totaled $6.5 million, on his blog Monday. "Clearly, people are beginning to realize the impact of RSS. It's changing the distribution of information."

You Attract Who You Are On The Internet!
by Martin Lemieux
Being online is not only about getting your piece of pie, it's also about what kind of pie you are getting. Your company is often being measured by many other business people online. There are many ways that people are keeping an eye on you.
- Search engine placements
- Number of incoming links
- Alexa ranking
- PR Rating online
- Website growth
- What others are saying
The reason why people do this is because, we are all looking for other great companies to tie into. Marketing online is about creating a network of advertising to come back to you. The more you put out there, the more you'll have coming in.
On another note, the quality of what you put out there is very important as well. You are more likely to have your advertising ad viewed by many people from a very popular website, rather than a newbie. This is why many of the top websites in the world offer advertising to the public. There is money to be made.

What Is This RSS, XML, RDF, and Atom Business?
And how they impact the newsletter biz
by Meryl K. Evans, Editor, eNewsletter Journal
It's been a long day at work and you're in no mood to cook dinner or go out. Time to count on the reliable pizza delivery guy. The order is called in and he promptly arrives with smokin' hot pizza within 30 minutes as promised. If it were only that easy with a picky family where no one can agree on the same restaurant for dinner. One wants Mexican, another wants Chinese, and another wants a burger and Mexican. Instead of running to three different places, you call a delivery service that goes to all of them and brings it to you. What could be easier in getting a meal without cooking it or fetching it?
RSS, XML, RDF, and Atom are the food delivery guy of the Internet. The content they deliver is mixed and cooked elsewhere on the Internet just like the meal isn't made on your door step and the acronym fellows bring the content to you via software or an online application. Instead of trying to remember all the places where you like to go to get the latest news, it all comes to you once you order your food.

Turning The Casual Scanner Into A Buyer
by Vanessa Selene Williams
The world is full of scanners. Most people simply scan the page to see
if anything piques their interest, rather than reading the ads, sales
letters, or web copy. That’s why you should ensure that your copy is
scanner friendly. That means placing headlines, subheads, and other
devices throughout your copy that’s compelling enough to sell your
customers on your business.
How can you turn the casual scanner into an active reader? More
importantly, how can we turn a scanner into a buyer? First, ensure that
your headlines can stand alone, without the support of other sentences.
For most, that means getting rid of those one-word headlines. Headlines
should include the benefit of your offering, evoke curiosity, or compel
the scanner to read the main copy.

The Unwritten Rules of Referral
by John Jantsch
Nobody likes to cold call. Okay, very few people that I know like to
cold call looking for clients. For those of you that fit that
description, I have some good news. Stop it. Don’t cold call ever
again. Instead, let other people do it for you by systematically
generating all the referrals you can handle.
That’s right, many business owners have built their entire business
using this one simple, but powerful strategy. People want to do
business with other people they know, like and trust and by creating
referrals you automatically borrow upon some one else’s trust. For the
small business owner this is a crucial point.

The best way to avoid being blacklisted by the search
engines is to avoid using some questionable techniques that
were once popular to gain high rankings. Even if your
website is not blacklisted by using some of the techniques
below, it may be penalized (buried in the rankings) so your
traffic will suffer all the same. When a search engine
blacklists a website it will throw your listing off their
site and block your site from coming aboard again. This can
be done by blocking the domain name, the IP address or both.

NYTimes.com, Other Web Publishers Increase RSS Adoption
|
NYTimes.com, Other Web Publishers Increase RSS Adoption
By Kate Kaye
Contributing Writer
Thursday, July 22, 2004
As content consumption continues to fragment and 24/7 news cycles are par for the course, more mainstream Internet media outlets are syndicating headlines via RSS, an automated distribution and publishing technology. The New York Times Co.'s NYTimes.com this week broadened its RSS feed offering to 27 categories in the hopes of driving more site traffic, increasing customization and user retention, and building its database of registered users.
"RSS is fairly low cost to implement so we decided to expand the number of feeds," said Christine Mohan, NYTimes.com's associate director of product development. According to Mohan, the RSS feeds generate over one million page views to the site each month.
RSS, an acronym for Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication, allows lists of information or feeds to be published and distributed to subscribers automatically. There are several RSS aggregators or news reader tools available for use on multiple platforms including Windows, Apple, Linux, and Palm. In February, MarketingSherpa estimated that a quarter of a million users worldwide have downloaded news reader software.
Through RSS technology, users accessing news reader applications can link to regularly updated Times content, and site publishers can add Times headlines and summaries to their own site content. New Times feed categories include Editorials/Op-Ed, Most E-mailed Articles, Magazine and Multimedia, as well as Campaign 2004 and Times on the Trail political coverage. Visitors can now download any and all feeds listed through the RSS section of NYTimes.com or at the bottom of each site page. The feeds will also be promoted at the upper right hand corner of site pages.
Popular sites including The Christian Science Monitor's csmonitor.com, Salon.com, BBC News, MSN Slate Magazine, CBS MarketWatch, Time.com, Wired News, and CNETNews.com all offer RSS feeds of their headlines. NYTimes.com's sister site, Boston.com also began offering RSS news feeds for Logan International Airport's new WiFi service in June.
WashingtonPost.com launched RSS feeds last fall, and while traffic propelled through the feeds continues to grow, the offering remains in the testing phase. "We're really just watching it right now," explained Eric Easter, Senior Manager of Communications at WashingtonPost.com. The publisher plans to promote its feeds through a contest inviting readers to choose the best political blogs; the contest will involve outreach to bloggers credentialed to cover the National Democratic and Republican Conventions.
Still, the term RSS remains gibberish to many of those outside the tech community and so-called blogosphere, where RSS feeds gained popularity by enabling readers of blogs to keep up with the latest posts to their favorite blog sites. Installing newsreader programs is one obstacle for the less tech savvy. And perhaps a more formidable barrier to RSS adoption cited by insiders is a lack of comprehensive directories of RSS feeds. Some, however, do exist, including BlogStreet, a site that lists and categorizes close to 2,000 blog sites enabling RSS feeds, and Syndic8.com, a warehouse for RSS and Atom feeds (a similar technology) that counts 7,725 registered users and 128,647 total feeds. Among Syndic8.com's top most viewed feeds are news headline aggregation site Moreover, techie favorite Slashdot, and Wired News.
In addition to providing feeds of its news content, Yahoo! is currently testing a My Yahoo! feature that enables users to display RSS feed headlines on their personalized My Yahoo! pages. The latest version of the Opera Web browser also now supports RSS feeds in its built-in e-mail client.
"The adoption profile of RSS technology is substantial," Tom Barnes indicated, CEO at Mediathink, a marketing services firm that recently published a white paper entitled "RSS-The Next Big Thing Online." He believes no matter how frequently publishers update their content, they need to think about deploying RSS because they will "have to generate more content to maintain people's attention and maintain meaning."

Some people are strengthened by failure, and others are defeated by it. Who survives and who does not has little to do with money or advantage; it depends more on inner strength of character, a primitive toughness that protects the self and will not let mere external events destroy it. This kernal of survival is a precious possession, and discovering it is one of the very real rewards of failure.
