Ultimate Wealth

Viral marketing is the best way to drive traffic to your site and increase sales of the product that makes you money. The more traffic you can get, the more sales you will receive. If you now get 100 visitors a day and convert two percent of them on a $30 product then you are now making $60 dollars a day. If you can get off your butt and engage in some viral marketing to get your traffic to your sales page up to 200 visitors a day, then you just doubled your income.

One of the best ways to employ viral marketing is through the use of free ebooks. What you do is go out and gather some research on an area that is similar to product you are currently selling. You take this research and put together a mini 10 page report that people would find useful. You can do this in word and then convert it to PDF later for distribution.

Of course the point of the viral marketing is to help but not help too much. You want to be useful but still have something to offer in the form of your full product. For example you may write a report or article marketing and its viral effects on increasing your traffic and income. However, throughout this report you would advertise the article submission software that you created or are an affiliate of.

Now that you have the system in place, how would you get it out there to do its nasty viral work? First you can offer it as a promo or incentive to join your newsletter. Once its on peoples computers you never know where it will end up.

Another thing you can do is approach another expert in your field and ask about a joint venture. Often you will have a new product but no email list to promote it to. What you do is ask the expert for their click bank ID and insert it into the PDF file. Then the expert can virally disperse this great free report to his or her list because it is useful information and both the expert and yourself will get paid if anyone on his list buys.

One of the best things you can do is write articles. Lets say you put together a helpful article on viral marketing that would increase people’s income if they followed the tips. Then you could go out and disperse this article to article directories. From there the article on viral marketing goes viral as it is picked up by other webmasters to put on their own websites. When a reader of the previous website sees the useful article, they will want to visit your site and see what else you have to say that could help them out. If you build enough faith in your advice through constantly producing great information, you just may get a new customer.

Of course the last fish in the pan for using viral marketing to your advantage is that as long as you get the customer to visit your site you can always make some money. This is where adsense enters the picture. If after all your great advice, the reader still has no interest in your products or maybe they just do not have any cash they can click away. With adsense at least that click away will give you a couple of sense and by the end of the month can add up to a pretty decent income.

The bottom line is that viral marketing is a great way to increase your income. It doesn’t matter if you are selling a product or simply offering free advice with adsense on your site. More traffic through viral marketing of articles, free reports and joint ventures is the way those that are making money on the Internet are doing it.

Selling books or ebooks online using clickbank has to be one of the greatest gifts of the Internet age. The great thing about the Internet is that information is basically money. Gone are the days where you worked an hour and got paid for an hour. Gone are the days that when you begged to get an hour off from your boss you probably didn’t get paid for it. Now days with the Internet, if I know something you don’t and you want to learn it then I have created a business.

  

Right now I make a living on the Internet using a combination of clickbank and google adsense. I wont talk much about adsense here, but it makes my websites that don’t have a product produce a worry free income. My check gets put directly into my bank account and no matter where I am in the world; I have money getting put into the bank.

  

The thing with clickbank and digital products is that it is viral and exponential. Usually we think of viral as something bad, but if its something like money that is spreading then viral marketing is good. With clickbank the digital product I use to make money is ebooks. I happen to have knowledge in a couple areas that people would like to know more about, so I sell it. The opportunity that clickbank offers however is a massive number of affiliates that are willing to work to promote you if you pay them well.

  

This army of affiliates selling your clickbank ebook has several very interesting angles of opportunity. The first of course is the increase in traffic that will happen when clickbank affiliates start sending their website visitors your way. Traffic combined with a well written sales page can produce a lot of internet income.

  

The second boon that clickbank affiliates offer is all those inbound pointing links to your product page. The first thing that happens is your page rank will increase, then that will be reflected in your search engine placement thus resulting in even more traffic! Combined with your excellent copywriting skills, you have more money!

  

The third great thing about selling ebooks through clickbank is that as the first two factors escalate and your sales go up, so will your placement in the clickbank marketplace. This is great because once the affiliates in you niche see that your book is selling really well in the clickbank marketplace, what do you think they are going to do?

That’s right, you are going to get more affiliates signing up and your internet income is going to get even better.

  

Now you can see why digital product promotion through clickbank can be profitable. I chose ebooks because of its low cost but software and other digital products can do even better and get higher prices than ebooks. Once you get the ball rolling with clickbank, you can take a vacation and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Better yet though, why don’t you write another book on the topic of “enjoying the fruits of your labor while on vacation”?

As the school year comes to an end, I find this month a very busy
time.  With the summer vacation coming, many of us are looking
forward to a less hectic schedule and more down time.  This all seems
like a great summer plan, yet the summer seems to pass us by so
furiously and in September we are asking ourselves, where has the
summer gone??? We may end up feeling just as stressed and exhausted
when school starts as when it ended.

So, how can we begin to slow down and ensure a memorable and
rejuvenating few months?

Consider first the reasons why you may be demanding so much of
yourself.  What is the rush?  Does everything need to be done at this
moment?  Can you take small steps towards achieving big goals instead
of feeling the need to accomplish it all at once?  The summer flies
by so pick your projects sparingly so you can have time to enjoy the
kids and still have down time for Mom as well.

To be more productive and efficient in reaching our goals, we need to
take time for renewal.  How do you fit some relief into your busy
life?

Start by making a habit of deep breathing several times throughout
the day.  It triggers an automatic relaxation response and can be
done anywhere.  It keeps you focused in the present moment and
reduces stress immediately. For more ways to reduce stress where the
kids are concerned, check out my FREE e-course on How to Prevent a
MumME Meltdown at www.seekingbalance.ca under Free Resources.

Take frequent small breaks whether you are home or at work.  Coffee
breaks were designed for a reason, so use them effectively.  Do not
pass on your break thinking you will accomplish more.  We need this
down time for maximum efficiency.  Be aware however, of how you spend
your break, because a healthy snack, short walk, and stretch are more
energy producing than a coffee and doughnut.  If you are home, take
time to relax outdoors with a cool drink and revel in the beauty of
the sights and sounds of the summer season.

Do what you love on a regular basis.  If you have a favorite sport or
activity, make sure you participate in it often.  An hour or two a
week of doing what you love can have many positive benefits, mentally
and physically.  Having time for yourself during the summer gives you
the stamina and energy to enjoy more fully, your time with the kids.

Ask the kids at the beginning of the summer, what are some of their
favorite past times.  This way you can plan ahead and your children
get to feel valued by being asked.  It also ensures that they get to
enjoy what they really love to do.  Be aware though of over
scheduling your summer.  Strike a balance of fun activities for all
family members involved. 

Make your holidays a priority.  Vacations are a luxury no longer–
they are a necessity.  You need time to recharge and rejuvenate from
the daily stressors.  If you are having a difficult time taking
vacation due to job demands, consider taking a day of down time when
you can squeeze it in.  Remember; nurture yourself first and everyone
else will also benefit.

Make exercise, sleep, and good nutrition part of a healthy, rewarding
summer for the whole family.  There is nothing harder than reaching
September and having those extra pounds to lose and having to get
back into an exercise routine.  With less of a regular routine for
many families it is easy to get away from established healthy
routines regarding meals and sleep.  There is opportunity for many
late nights, yummy barbequed hot dogs and huge ice creams cones to
cool down on a hot day.  A summer certainly wouldn’t be a summer
without all these things.  Keep in mind, however, more isn’t better
in this case.  Enjoy and savor them all when you have the opportunity
but balance it out with days of early nights, corn on the cob and a
frozen yogurt!!!

The most important thing to remember about the upcoming summer months
is to make them memorable. You do that by being present and taking
the time to stop and smell the roses.  As most of you realize, life
passes us by very quickly and we don’t appreciate the time we do have
together as a family.  Often we are so busy with schedules, yard work
and disciplining that the real memories pass us by… a bike ride
through a beautiful trail, the marshmallow roast on a moonlit night,
the camping trip when the tent fell down and the water fight when Mom
got soaked from a water balloon gone wrong.

So, this summer make sure at the top of your to do list it says…
Enjoy!!! And not just the special occasions but every occasion
because life really is just one big special occasion, isn’t it?

So when you are kicking up your heels in delight and someone asks you
what you are celebrating you can say… Life!!!!
