Free Wealthy Affiliate Course and Black Friday Special Trial

Black Friday Shoppers Will Flock to Stores... Will Your Site Be Up by Cyber Monday?

It’s nearly the holidays and I am thankful to be able to offer a comprehensive free internet marketing course from the makers of Wealthy Affiliate. What’s even better is that over and above the free web marketing course I also have the special privilege of being able to make a special offer on Black Friday to people who sign up for the free course.

Get Started Today Learning the Basics and Be Prepared to Blast Off on Black Friday

The free internet marketing course I offer teaches the basic web marketing skills needed to make money online. This isn’t a bunch of complicated programming technical mumbo-jumbo or some other scheme – it basic, honest, fun work which returns basic, honest, fun(!) income. The problem with learning how to make money online today is that there really is so much opportunity and information out there it is virtually impossible to know where to start. That is where the special offer comes in handy. On Black Friday you’ll have the opportunity to step inside to the world I live in and avail yourself to the full wealth of information I (and 14,000 – and counting – other members) have been accumulating over the last 6 years. I have been a member of Wealthy Affiliate for two years now myself, and I owe the vast majority of my online income to the lessons I learned right there.

Success in Making Money Online Comes with a Price

There is a price to pay in order to start making money online – and that is paid both in terms of hard study and sweat equity. The blessing of that effort however, is the opportunity to create numerous new income streams that don’t require you to rely on the good-will of a boss or a company that sees you as a cost-center to be held in check. If you sign up for the free internet marketing course today you will receive a special invite on Black Friday that will get you INSIDE Wealthy Affiliate for a full month for just $1.00 – but DON’T DAWDLE WHEN YOU GET THAT INVITE! The special offer is valid from Black Friday 11/25 Thru Cyber Monday – after that – you’ll have to wait until next year… or maybe never if they don’t offer it again.

What Are Some of the Benefits of Wealthy Affiliate Membership?

It can seem like an awful amount of personal commitment to spend a whole dollar on a membership website that usually costs $47/month, but here are a few reasons I’m still a member after 2 solid years of learning (and EARNING!) online.

Announcing Web Marketing Services for the Lakes Region

Plymouth NH-

Local internet marketing services are now available in the Lakes Region thanks to the opening of Onefineham.com. Onefineham Internet Marketing aims to provide web marketing solutions to small businesses in the Lakes Region of NH.

The Economic Slowdown Does Not Have to Slow Your Business Down

“I look around and see many of my friends’ businesses struggling with the economic slowdown, yet I firmly believe there continues to be opportunities for growth,” says Barry Livingstone, founder of Onefineham.com. “Listen, in a down economy obviously businesses contract, and some fold up entirely. When a competitor folds up due to business pressures, that’s easy opportunity for the survivors to pick up new business.”

Supply Chain Disruptions Have Left Many Businesses Looking for Answers

Onefineham Internet Marketing aims to help those surviving businesses by getting them new customers either search for new solutions or who have had their tried-and-true business partners uprooted. Barry continues, “Hey, we’ve all seen it. I can’t think of a single business in the area that hasn’t had their supply chain impacted by vendor or distributor changes. Guess what? Your FUTURE CUSTOMERS are fighting supply chain disruption too.”

These Days People Look Locally for Solutions on the Web

What does Barry suggest? Get social. Get internet. Get moving. “The ways and means of reaching customers has changed dramatically. Traditional old-school advertising methods have not kept up with the times and are raising rates at a time when their effectiveness is at its lowest. Radio? Newspapers? Magazines? True they still reach people, but does anyone actually look at the phone book anymore? We can provide better cost of customer acquisition solutions on the web because our costs are lower and our content has a legacy impact – meaning that once you put your shingle up with us, its information remains available to new customers searching for solutions long after your initial publicity push. Long term the web is the better alternative – because that’s where the people are LOOKING for ANSWERS.”

Let Onefineham.com Help Write Your Internet Marketing Success Story

Helping Your Customers Find Solutions

Onefineham.com’s number one mission is to help your customers find your business on the web when they go looking for answers. Beyond that first, and most important basic capability, Onefineham Internet Marketing offers additional services to help give your customers the kind of personal, high quality service they expect. This may include a website design, or logos and graphics, or secure payment processing solutions. “With gas prices the way they are today, people would much rather shop local. Let’s work together and help them find answers at YOUR business today.”

How to Make a Facebook Like Page

A lot of people are trying to make a Facebook like page with some difficulty. It is not that difficult to make a Facebook like page and once you do you’ll find a number of things you can do with it to increase your traffic to it.

Make a Facebook Like Page Step 1: Create an Account
As stupid as this sounds, if you don’t have an account on Facebook, you’re going to have difficulty making a page. Choose a username for your account that is in some way shape or form related to the line of business, brand, or item you are trying to promote. Choose a password that is difficult for others to guess but easy for you to remember. Once you have your account created, you’ll need to click the verification link in the email that Facebook sends to you. Be sure to look in your spam folder, as many times you’ll find the verification email has landed there.

Step 2: Create Your Like Page
Click on your Facebook / Home link. Along the left side of your home page on Facebook you should see an option or link called “Pages.” If you see it, click it and follow the steps to make a Facebook like page. If you do not see it, simply scroll to the bottom of your Facebook page and click the Help button on the bottom right of the screen. Once at the Help topics, click on Pages for Business (under Facebook apps and features) and follow the help guide to create your first page.

What to Do Once You Make a Facebook Like Page
Once you’ve gone through the hassle of putting together you first page you haven’t a clue what to do with it. The trouble is, once you’ve made your page and got all the bells and whistles setup, then what? How do you bring people to your new gem? What content do you put on it? How do you get people to interact with your new site?

Honestly the truth is that there are tons of ways to increase traffic to your page, but before you start sending out loads of invites to friends to come visit your new effort – it is a good idea to invite a few trusted friends to visit you page and solicit their suggestions. Listen carefully to what they have to say and add features they suggest. Then you’re ready to start trying to attract new visitors to your page.

How to Make Websites for Free

I learned how to make websites for free from the master of the start from zero budget websites. Although the internet marketing landscape has changed, my mentor’s method has actually stood the test of time. It takes about all of 15 minutes to build a website and is not only completely free, but will also start earning money (smally bits at a time through revenue share) right from the very first visitor.

HAVE I GOTTEN YOUR ATTENTION YET?

If you have a great idea and want to get going fast but don’t have a lot of time or money and know at least a *little* html, fill out the form below and I’ll help you get started by sending you a signup email for your first free website. If you want more information on how to make websites for free (including basic html help), please be sure to check the little checkbox in the form to say “Yes,” and you’ll receive all the information you’ll need on how to make websites for free starting today.

How Making Websites for Free Got Me Started

Knowing how to make websites for free this way helped me get started by having so many free analytics already installed for me. I was able to see traffic stats right away, including which methods people were using to find my pages. Even better was I was able to see which keywords people were searching to find my page. I could see where my success was coming from so I knew where to focus my attention to get even more traffic! Don’t know what keywords are? Don’t know how to do research? Don’t worry! We’ll help you get started and on your way.

OH! Before I forget! In order to receive your earnings from this method, you will need a paypal account. Paypal is how the vast majority of online earnings are paid, so you need to get that squared away first. It only takes a few minutes of your time and either a checking account or credit card (you’ll need the checking account to move your earnings to – you can get one here if you don’t have one).

Where to Advertise for Free

The question of where to advertise for free could easily be answered, “online, stupid!” but perhaps the better question would be where to advertise for free and improve the chances your message will be read? Understanding and perfecting how, when, and where to advertise for free online will stretch your marketing budget and reduce the stress of your marketing campaign. Here we’ll explore three potential methods for getting your business found online without spending a dime – and maybe a way to save effort by doing all of them at once!

Using Article Marketing

Everyone talks about article marketing but it recently has taken some severe blows due to over-saturation of certain online / spammy topics. If your business doesn’t fall into one of those Google-hated industries, then odds are you can still go the article marketing route. The benefits of using an article marketing strategy are the cost and the ability to leverage the longevity of the established search engine ranking of the website. The downside with this strategy is that there is a lot of competition for prime front-page space and your articles are sure to have limited lifespan and utility.

What about Using Free Blogs?

Free blogs can be a great source of advertising online – similar to article marketing however this comes with the challenge of building an audience and search engine ranking from scratch. The blessings are again the cost and the ability to somewhat leverage the search engine ranking of the host site, but unfortunately the drawback is building the site so as to be able to take advantage of that host site reputation.

What about Social Network Marketing?

Social network marketing gives a lot of advantages to the small business looking for where to advertise for free. The cost is typically free (at least to open an account and adding friends), and the best social networks help automatically build your contacts for you. This makes increasing your audience size relatively easy. The question then becomes one of how to manage your message and get the word out to your readers.

This is where having the right knowledge can really bring all three elements of a free marketing strategy together. Knowing where to advertise for free to get the maximum impact out of each of your marketing.

What to Do about the Content Farms Google Slap

What to do about the Content Farms Google slap? A lot has been made about the dramatic drop in traffic at a number of content aggregator sites – the best of which I would have to say was probably done by friend and mentor Jennifer at Potpiegirl.com. Here’s my two cents on the topic.

Newsflash: Google Finds Some Results Irrelevant and Acts to Crush Bad Sites

Seriously… should this be news to anyone? Google is facing dramatically increased competition from the new “winner” in the internet space, Facebook. Truth is in terms of pageviews and pageviews per user the two are about equal. Where Facebook is really cleaning up however, is user time on site and bounce rate. What are these terms about? Well, bounce rate is the percent of viewers that check out the first page they see and then jump to another domain (a.k.a. people look at one page of Google.com and jump to something else around 26% of the time). Facebook’s bounce rate is somewhere between 17-17.5%, meaning viewers who come to Facebook.com tend to stay there past the first page. This results in a much greater time on site (Facebook around 30 minutes per day per visitor, whereas Google has about 15 minutes per day).

It’s pretty clear from those figures that although Google has a great brand name and is the number one ranked traffic site, Facebook offers users a more valuable experience. Still not convinced? Consider the pageviews chart below from Alexa.com, the web statistics information company. Notice how the wave pattern of traffic for each site is virtually a mirror image of the other?

Notice How Facebook's Pageviews Rise Where Google's Fall


In statistics parlance, that would be what we’d call “near-perfect” inverse correlation of the daily change in pageviews. What does this tell us? It tells us that many times when users are not using Google they are choosing to use Facebook. Why does this matter? Look AGAIN at the chart. The smaller increments on the chart indicate days of the week… specifically MONDAYS. Notice where the defined peaks are for the Facebook traffic. The peaks are juuuust before the Monday increments along the bottom of the chart, meaning the bulk of Facebook traffic pageviews are occurring on WEEKENDS.

What Should You Make of This?

What this tells ME is that *SOME* M-F 9-5 working people with regular jobs either aren’t allowed or are afraid to use facebook during work hours. When they have the freedom to choose what platform they like to use, they choose Facebook.

What Does This Have to Do with the Content Farm Google Slap?

This has A LOT to do with the Google slap on content farms. Notice the conclusion drawn in the last paragraph: SOME people with Monday to Friday 9-5 jobs CHOOSE to use Facebook when they have the choice. Remeber the cola wars all those years ago? Consumers with DOLLARS (a.k.a. JOBS!) CHOOSE Facebook over Google when they have the choice – and the numbers and charts speak for themselves.

What to do about the Content Farms Google Slap?

First do what Google is doing: recognize that spammed content is irrelevant and stop producing it.
Second learn and master social web marketing.
