Can you create my ecommerce site for me?

I already have a website and products or services. How can I learn how to better market my site?

Do I need my own domain name or can I use a free domain hosting service for best results?

I would like to add the current day's date on some of my web site's pages but I don't want to do daily updates to the source code to keep the date current. Is there any way to do this so the date changes automatically?

How can I add audio messages to my pages without spending a fortune on microphones, mixers, mp3 recorders and other miscellaneous software and equipment?

I don't feel like I know enough to create my own website yet.  I would like to pick the brains of successful online marketers  to see how they got into the business and how they made it work for them? Any suggestions aside from paying thousands of dollars in consulting fees?

How can I cloak my affiliate links so potential buyers don't bypass my link and deprive me of my referral commission?

 

1. Why are you offering this online marketing information?  

When I began learning about the ins and outs of online marketing it became clear to me that much of the information on "internet marketing" products were either from the businesses that created the products or from their affiliates. Needless to say...

That information, in most cases, was geared toward making a sale and not in giving the unvarnished truth about the the products's weaknesses, faults, limitations and peculiarities. From my point of view...

Before plunking down $97 , $149, or more, I really wanted unbiased information about those products.

After looking long and hard it became clear that there was little information about the pros and cons of many of the online marketing materials currently available on the internet.  

So, I checked around and discovered that there was a boat-load of people who wanted and craved honest and unbiased information about "online marketing" materials.

I decided to critically evaluate the products that I purchased and share the good and the bad with others so they would be in a better position to decide if the software or instructional material would really fill their needs. Face it...

It's important to know ahead of time what the strengths and weaknesses are, of a software package or course, before committing to a purchase.

The purpose of this web site is to provide the type of information that consumers of "online marketing" products want so they can approach a potentially expensive purchase with their eyes wide opened and their minds well-informed.

All of this is designed to help you become successful in your online marketing efforts and help you avoid costly mistakes.

            

2. How do I know the information you're providing will work?   

I only write about products that I've tried and tested.

And I let you know, as though I were talking to a friend or family member, what I think are its strengths and weaknesses.

I occassionally suggest modifications that would make the products perform better.

Of course, your experiences, skills, knowledge and needs will likely differ from mine so what I may view as a shortcoming in a piece of software may not affect you if you know how to work around it. For others, the same information could give them the green light  in making a purchase or a red light against.

In the end, I believe having too much useful information is better than not being able to find enough.             

3. How long have you been involved in web marketing?

I've been actively engaged in web marketing since 1997.             

4. With what types of online marketing are you familiar?   

I specialize in using direct response marketing techniques and gear them toward online selling.   

If you want to know how to make multi-level marketing work you've come to the wrong place. But, if you want to know how to sell via direct response marketing using your computer this site is for you.

If you want to listen to a cassette audio interview between two successful internet marketers I suggest you check out the amazing story of "Mr. H."

In the taped interview you will learn how "Mr. H." used direct marketeing techniques to create a web site that attracts hundreds of visitors a day and makes thousands of dollars worth of business each week.

5. How can you afford to give away free information and how are you supporting this website?

 Good questions.

First; over the years I've gotten into the habit of documenting my projects from start to end.

This approach has been used  in my scientific career (an area of study where research steps and procedures need to be accurately and carefully recorded), in my home renovations (a totally different subject than web marketing), and in my online marketing efforts.

Sharing the online marketing information that I've collected simply involves putting the results up on this website.

That happens pretty fast with my webeditor and  FTP utility.

Once the information has been posted to this web site I don't have to come back and deal with the information anymore but it's available to all that can benefit from it.

As far as the second part of the question, you should know that many of the links that go outside of this site are affiliate links. What that means is...

If someone decides to purchase an item from this site a commission is earned by the site much in the same way a travel agent gets paid when a client purchases cruise or airline tickets.

It doesn't cost the customer any more to purchase through the travel agent because the carrier pays the agent for sending a paying customer their way.

In summary it's from affiliate commissions that this site is supported.

6. How can this site help me make money?

 The tools and instructional materials that are reviewed on this site are of products that perform at least as well as their promoters promise. Also...

Many of the software products, that you'll find described on this site, are used by a number of successful online marketers to build and maintain their own sites.

Audiogenerator, for example, is used by such online marketing giants as Alex Mandossian and Stephen Pierce.

You'll also discover which autoresponders are preferred by online marketers:

  • Yanik Silver
  • Corey Rudl
  • Marlon Sanders
  • Alex Mandossian
  • Jim Daniels
  • Gary Halbert
  • and others.

You'll learn about the following tools:

... along with much more!

There's a lot of useful information on this site and there's no need to try to digest everything in one sitting. You can bookmark the homepage by clicking here or on the appropriate link on any of the pages that interests you (you'll find a convenient "bookmark this page" link at the bottom of each page).

7. I'm on a super tight budget. How can I start an online business on the cheap?   

If you don't have much in the way of spare cash but you can manage to find the time I suggest you use the "sweat-equity" approach.

Sweat-equity?

There are people who want to own real estate but many of them too are on tight budgets. Some wait until they can save enough money to purchase their property while others buy the raw materials and tools and create something of value with the sweat of their own labor. What, you may ask, does this have to do with online marketing?

Plenty...
