Internet Guide

A question I get a lot is “What does it cost for Internet advertising?” I’m almost tempted to tell people, whatever they want to spend. But I realize that there are those of us new to this game who don’t really know what the various costs of advertising on the Internet can be. While this article is no way all inclusive, as there are just too many ways to advertise online, it should give you a good head start to Internet advertising costs for the most common forms of advertising.

Since most people are really looking for free sources of advertising, let me start off with those first.

If you are looking for advertising avenues that won’t cost you anything and still bring you some results, your best bet is to go with article marketing. Article marketing, in theory, is very simple. You write articles that pertain to your target market and product, submit them to article directories and bring traffic to your site through the link in the article that you’ll include in your author bio. This method is very effective if done right and as I said, it doesn’t cost you a thing. The only drawback is that this form of advertising is relatively slow to bring results.

If you’re looking to actually spend some money and get results a little faster, one of the most cost effective ways is to host your own FFA site. You can do this for as little as $10 a month. What hosting an FFA site does is it allows you to send out your daily advertising message to people who post their own ads to your site. This is a great way to reach other people who are involved in Internet marketing. This is a very cost effective way of advertising as you can host about 10 sites a month for under $200.

If you’re looking to spend a little more money and get the most targeted traffic that you can get online, your best bet is to go with Google Adwords. In a nutshell, Adwords is a system of advertising where you put up a 3 line ad based on certain keywords that you want to target and pay for this ad only if a person clicks on it and goes to your site. The amount you pay per click will depend on how targeted the keyword is and the competition for that keyword. For the most part, the most expensive keywords, per click, are those for make money online opportunities.

As I said, this list is by no means complete. If you’re interested in learning more about Internet advertising, there is a resource in my signature that includes every form of popular advertising on the Internet. You’ll find it quite a good read.

Finding Mr or Ms Right is something we all wish for. The problem is how, when and where to find them.

Over the past few years Internet dating has become very popular with around 80% of people over the age of 40 using Internet dating services to find a partner

Internet dating has one major advantage over meeting someone in a bar. You get to discover all about them before you have even said ‘Hi’ You can find out their place of birth, their religion likes and dislikes, hobbies and interests and so on.

Internet dating allows you to chat online and get to know someone before meeting him or her. This will obviously increase the chances of finding that special someone.

Quite often you can discover more about a person by correspondence and therefore weed out the people you do not think would be suitable for friendship or a relationship.

Essentially when you meet someone in a bar or social event the physical attraction may well be there but quite often after the first couple of dates you find out you have absolutely nothing in common with them and the relationship stops there.

Before you sign up to an Internet dating agency check around to find out the best ones and more importantly agencies that will be right for you. Think about what you want to get out of the service whether it’s just a friendship or something more. Read some reviews about the agency first and how other people have found the service.

Once you have decided one of the most important things to get right is your picture.

This is the downside of Internet dating, the fact that you do not know whether you will be physically attracted to a person until you actually meet them. Making sure your photo is good quality, well lit and a close up shot of your face is essential as many people will be put off if they cannot make out what you look like because the photo is of poor quality and does not show what you look like.

Once you have selected a possible date engage in plenty of discussion with them prior to meeting them. Never disclose too much personal information about yourself or where you live. If a person pressures you to disclose information about yourself that you feel uncomfortable with end the communication right there. Any genuine contact will appreciate why you are being cautious with this information and will not try and manipulate it out of you.

The thing to remember when Internet dating is to have fun as well as make friends and meet potential partners.

According to a Pew Internet & American Life Project study “Health Information Online,” eight in ten internet users have looked for health information online, with increased interest in diet, fitness, drugs, health insurance, experimental treatments, and particular doctors and hospitals. It was also found that women younger than 65, with college degrees are the most likely to use the internet for health information. Interestingly enough this is same target customer for cosmetic procedures.

The WebMD Health Network averaged approximately 41.7 million unique monthly users with total traffic of approximately 963 million page views during the first quarter. This was an increase in unique monthly users of approximately 43% from the prior year.

Both of these statistics confirm the importance of comprehensive websites for physicians who primarily deal in non-reimbursable procedures, such as aesthetic medicine. Since patient education is a critical component in building a successful aesthetic medicine practice, the web gives the physician a great opportunity to educate the patient before they get to the office. In addition, many patients are unsure of what most aesthetic treatments entail, including Botox, Perlane, Juvederm, and Restylane injections, chemical peels, laser hair removal, and laser skin resurfacing. It is important that aesthetic medicine physicians are prepared to spend time to help educate their patients. This is where leveraging the internet to educate your patients can really help an aesthetic practice.

Physician web sites should be kept simple, but must have some critical information. You need to identify your services with before and after photos, benefits, possible side affects and risks. Try and get some photos of your facility, and include information about you and your staff. The goal is to build confidence in you and your practice.

It is estimated that over 50% of your patients will visit your web page before they come in. It’s also important not to forget to include your general practice information, like hours of operation, address, phone number, parking information, and even a map.

Patients aren’t the only ones using the internet, eMedicine.com provides physicians and healthcare professionals detailed clinical information relevant to the diagnosis and treatment of a broad range of medical conditions. Aesthetic medicine is such a fast growing field, the International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine gives their members access to WebMD’s eMedicine institutional database as part of a membership benefit.

More often than not, your web site is the first impression that a potential patient has of your practice. Make sure the impression you give is favorable. The information needs to be accurate and up to date, and reflect the professionalism of your practice.

By including information about the procedures you perform on your web site is a great way to help reduce the amount of time you spend educating your patient in your office. This will allow them to be better prepared, and give you both a more productive consultation.

More and more marketing research companies are taking advantage of the low cost and fast turnaround of the Internet for their consumer opinion surveys.

Part of their savings is being passed on to those who volunteer for and fill out the surveys. So more and more people are receiving checks in the mail for taking paid internet surveys. One of them could be you!

Taking surveys does not require any specific skills; if you can send and receive e-mails you have all the technical qualifications you need. So how do you get involved and start receiving your checks in the mail?

Here are the five steps you need to take to get started:

1. Pick a good paid internet survey guide company to help you get started. There are well over 700 companies making surveys in the U.S. alone. Some are good, some not, some are terrible. Some are really sales companies in disguise who just want your info so they can spam you half to death trying to sell things to you.

In this situation you need a guide company, that studies the market, sorts out which survey makers are good and which are to be avoided, and maintains a list that is being constantly updated. You want to join up with such a company to get access to their list.

There are a couple hundred of these to choose from; so how do you pick a good one?

The company you want will be sizable, will have been around for a while and will be growing. Look for a strong 60-90 day money-back guarantee, backed up by a bank or financial company such as PayPal or ClickBank.

Most importantly, look for a low refund rate. The refund rate is the percentage of their clients that leave and demand their money back. Low refund rates indicate happy clients. High refund rates indicate many unhappy clients. Look for a refund rate in the 3.0%-5.0% range (ideal). Avoid any company with a refund rate of 10% or above.

2. Sign up with as many survey makers as you can. When you sign up with your paid internet survey guide company they will send you a copy of their current list. It is very important that you make application to as many of these as possible.

These are the companies that send out survey invitations. To be on their lists of active survey takers, you need to file an application with each of them, giving your contact and demographic info. Each company is separate and you must file an application with each one separately.

Get a copy of Robo Form or other form-filling assistant to help you with the repetitive forms. Remember, if the survey makers do not have your application on file they cannot send you invitations to take paid internet surveys.

3. Open a separate e-mail account for your paid internet survey work. Check your inbox at least once a day, preferably twice. Answer all correspondence promptly.

4. When invitations for paid internet surveys come in, take all surveys offered at first. Later, when more are coming in you can hi-grade and take only the high-paying ones if you choose. But right at first it will be important to establish yourself as a “live account”. Fill out the questionnaires fully, answer the questions giving your honest opinion.

5. Be patient. The more survey makers you apply to, the more surveys invitations you will receive. If you respond quickly and fully, you will get more and bigger (higher-paying) surveys to take. Your income will build over the first 3-6 months after applying to each survey maker.

Your exact income will depend on your diligence and your demographics. Most experienced takers of paid internet surveys report incomes of $200 to $600 a month. Some with good demographics, and who work at it, report incomes of $1,000 a month and more.

Have you been asking yourself, why is my internet explorer so slow? Your connection is fine, yet internet explorer seems to take forever to process information and load pages. This is actually a much more common problem than you may think. Before you toss your computer into the garbage can, why not try to speed up internet explorer the easy way?

The most likely cause of IE being slow is a computer that has not been properly maintained. The problem with most computer users is that they spend all of this money on upgrading and buying new equipment, yet spend nothing to properly maintain it. When the CPU becomes sluggish we simply ask “why is my internet explorer slow” and then go buy a new computer. Well this will make the computer stores very happy. But what if I let you in on a little secret? You can turbo charge your existing computer right now so it runs like it is brand new.

What you need to do is run a full system scan and diagnosis. I promise there are lots of troubled areas of your computer that can be cleaned up and optimized. Lets start with the Windows registry.

The Windows registry is the most important area of your computer. It contains information to run all software and hardware, including Internet Explorer. Yet it is filled with errors, corrupt files, and redundant programs that are doing nothing but taking up space and slowing everything down. Windows does not have an internal tool to clean this up. To speed up internet explorer, the first thing you can do is clean up all the junk out of the registry.

I personally use a program that does this and so much more. It will also remove all the hidden programs running in the background and taking up valuable RAM. This program will perform a diagnosis in your entire computer and provide solutions to make your computer run faster.

So stop asking the question “Why is my Internet Explorer so slow?” Simply scan your computer for free and start speeding it up.

I get asked this question all the time so I thought I would write a quick article to clear the air once and for all. So what’s the question people ask me? It’s this; what’s the very first thing I should do as an Internet marketer with no budget to get my site off the ground and start earning money as quickly as possible?

I don’t care what your website is about, I don’t care if you’re selling a product or selling a service or creating a membership site of some sort, or marketing a newsletter, or whatever, my advice is always the same for those just starting out on a shoestring budget, or no budget at all.

This is what I recommend you do. Head over to Google and type in the phrase “keyword tool”. The first listing that comes up will be the free Google keyword tool. Use that free tool to research different keywords that relate to whatever it is you’re selling.

The idea is to find 10 keywords that directly relate to your website. You’re going to want to use “exact match” as opposed to “broad match” for reasons I won’t get into in this article. Basically this is just a setting that you will see if you look around on the main page of the keyword tool, just click exact match from drop down box.

Now I said you need 10 keywords, 20 would be better but let’s say 10 because it’s easier. You’re looking for keywords they get searched for between 500 and 800 times per month, that’s all.

I know, that flies in the face of conventional wisdom that says you should pick keywords that get searched for as much as possible, like thousands of times a month, but the fact remains that when you’re first starting out it’s very hard to get ranked at the search engines for those mega keywords.

On the other hand, a keyword that only gets searched for 500 times a month is very low, competitively speaking. That means that without much effort whatsoever, you can usually get your website ranked on the first page of Google’s results for that keyword and with a little effort probably even in the top three.

Once you find 10 keywords, go back to your website and write ten new web pages, one about each of those keywords. Make the title of the page that keyword, add that keyword to your header tags (H1, H2, etc). And use that keyword in the first paragraph of text and the last paragraph of text. Be sure to write at least 500 words about that keyword, more is better.

Next, start linking to each of those web pages, using the keyword in the anchor text. You can do this by posting blog comments on other people’s websites, posting forum comments, doing article marketing where you use those keywords in the author’s resource box, or any other way you can think of.

You probably only need to get a few links pointing at each of those pages in order for the search engines to quickly pick up on your site.

What’s the point? If you can get ranked in the top three for each of those 10 keywords, and they each bring in 500-800 visitors per month, you’re looking at a potential 5,000 to 8,000 free targeted visitors to your web site, relatively easily.

And that’s a great quickstart to your marketing efforts!
