One sure-fire way to loosing out big time on your business profits is from incidences of excessive refunds and chargeback requests. If the number is high in any period you could risk loosing your third party merchant account altogether.
So what do you do when there are some who will request a refund within 15 minutes of purchasing your product?
Or even more pettier are those who will wait until the last possible moment to request a refund. Well not all is lost because merchant account providers are very well informed as to the credit card numbers of persistent refund and chargeback claimants. Just like their list of fraudulent credit card users, stolen credit cards etc they have a database of what I call “Refund Junkies”. There appears to be no end to the unethical tactics some people will use to get your product for free.
Use the following tips to further safeguard against refunds and expensive chargeback costs. The good news is that refunds are easy to process and do not carry any additional fees. However as a merchant you want to ensure that refunds are kept to a minimum.
1. Clearly State the Billing Name
First and foremost state the name of your third party credit card processor on your sales pages and include them in your terms and follow up email receipts so that customers are fully aware of what company name will appear on their billing statements. This will reduce the number of customers who do not recognize the billing name on their statements from contacting their credit card issuers for a chargeback. This one factor can lead to an unprecedented number of chargebacks claims.
2. Provide Your Customer Support Details
Provide your email address so that customers can contact you regarding any queries about their order. Make sure that you answer them in a timely manner to avoid unnecessary delays. If a customer is not responded to promptly they are very likely to make a refund request.
3. Offer Lifetime Updates
Offering your customers lifetime updates to your product and services to add value and will encourage them to remain customers in the knowledge that they will always receive your most current edition of your goods.
4. Reward Loyal Customers With Exclusive Privileges
Offer your customers a product that can be used freely as long as they are fully paid members, as part of a membership site. Or use a tool which is only available to customers and cannot be accessed after a refund request is made. As long as your offer is valuable to your customers and members you are will substantially reduce the number of refund requests.
5. Provide The Best Guarantee
Your guarantee could become a thorn in your side if you have a very short time span before customers can test out and use your product. But studies show that the longer the guarantee period the less refund requests are made because customers are more comfortable with their rights to cancel if the product or service does not meet their needs.
This is at your discretion as a merchant so testing is important to work out what is best for you. Remember to take into account that some third party processors have a limit on the maximum refund time their merchants can issue to customers.
6. Accurate Product Descriptions
Avoid making bold claims that are “too good to be true?if you cannot deliver the results. You could be setting yourself up for a big fall and your customers will request refunds if your product description does not fulfill their needs.
You could also be breaking the law and be liable to charges if a law suit is brought against your company. Make sure your sale letter accurately reflects your goods for sale and highlight the TRUE benefits of owning the goods.
7. Surprise Bonuses
It is a great surprise when you buy something and receive additional unadvertised bonuses. This can warm your customers to your company and can only please them. It also demonstrates that you do not need to publicize your bonuses because you believe in your product so much that it will sell on its own merit.
Dispelling Myths
All too often I have read articles and statements claiming that with third party merchant accounts there are no chargeback fees and that you never have your company name display on customer statements. These claims are inaccurate.
The facts are that some do not have chargeback fees. I have personally researched 90+ third party processing companies and have contacted them to verify certain key points in their terms of contract and fee schedule.
There are some third party processors that do not issue chargeback fees or refunds, such as can be found with some digital gold currencies. In this case the merchant must initiate a refund directly to the customer.
There are some third party processors who do not levy chargeback fees but you will find that these are very few in number and they will typically have a higher processing fee to cover their costs. Don’t be mistaken in thinking that third party processors do not pass on chargeback fees to their merchants. You only have to read their terms in full to find out exactly what you can expect to be charged for per chargeback incident. I highlight these important facts in my book The A-Z of No Merchant Accounts for your convenience.

Financial crisis has made web site owners to take targeted traffic
issue more seriously. Today if your web site is not bringing money, it
makes no point to run it – recession is not the best time for
expensive and time consuming hobbies.

I have recently joined a free membership that is a great fix for
getting traffic, especially during the recession time (free is the
best price one can get).

Unlike many memberships where they promise you loads of traffic,
these guys have picked up a group of volunteers in Sept 2008 and
pushed their sites to page 1 in Google within 2-9 weeks. Sites were in
different niches: health, money, spiritual growth, computer games.
Proofs provided on the project site.

The idea of the membership is simple – they give you access to
unlimited number of one way links; quality links, from relevant sites,
no link farm or typical link brokerage junk involved.

You have total freedom in building as many backlinks as you need, and
this pushes your web sites to the 1st pages in search engines.

Plus, they reward active members with giving them extra (BONUS) one
way links. For example, if you add just one site to their membership -
they will be giving you +7% more free backlinks instantly.

At the dawn of the new millennium, E-Commerce or Online shopping has gained momentum in America and elsewhere with more and more people buying and selling online. According to Forrester Research the numbers are increasing at the rate of 2-25% per annum and 40% of household are using coupons for online shopping. This primarily because online shopping offers more discount and savings compared to traditional stores who are burdened with costs of employees, rent and insurance. Use these tips for effective online shopping and follow the new catch line – Save $$$ with online shopping.
#1: Don’t go with the most popular auction sites. You’ll end up on the receiving end. Some of the auction sites have become saturated with both buyers and sellers. Re-distributors of these sites quickly jump into fray and ad-up their markups to your purchase. Along with the products, the online marketplace is also flooded with enough people who make you spend hundreds of extra dollars for items you find in local malls. For alert shoppers this is not the ideal place. So please be careful.
#2: Very important, NEVER pay retail. Consider this: You’re looking for Ipod, you want to pay the price that Apple is offering? NO way, then? Spend some time in goggle and just type ipod coupons. Go through the top ten to twenty results, you can take it for granted that you’ll find many listing offering significant discount for the same product. Or sometimes jus filling out a survey or signing up an email list you’ll get additional savings, perhaps you can also get it for FREE.
#3: Buying a new product in craze or fad always excites us. Sometimes difficult to resist the temptation and we end up buying at a local mall spending more money. If you only you ca resist that temptation and wait for 2-5 days you will get the same product at a much lesser rate, which in turn swells your savings as well. Hold your emotions under check till your shipping comes via UPS!
#4: Extra care need to be taken for excessive shipping charges for retailers slash the price of the product ad-up that to the shipping. Ensure to check the final cost so that you don’t have to pay any additional charge. Better still find free shipping. Sometimes shipping can cost more than your actual purchase.
#5: Online Coupons: Did you ever hear of an online coupon websites like www.couponchief.com that provide discount and promotion codes to most of the Internet stores? These websites provide latest discount offers arranged by category or store, making it easier for you to find want you want. This helps you in getting a good deal and can find free shipping offers listed in #4. Take precaution to check for a coupon code prior making Internet purchase. A very simple way to save extra $$$.

Secret #4: Creating passionate articles will explode your eBook sales!
Aho,
All the experts finally agreed on something. Writing articles about your eBook can be one of the most successful ways of eMarketing.
However, one of the biggest problems on online is learning how to write a great article. You should not just type any old thing and call it an article.
First, you must put your passion, your personality into the article. In addition here are some steps to follow to explode your eBook sales using free articles.
Step 1: Generate an article idea that everyone will want to read about. Review your eBook and look for the benefits that your eBook provides to the readers. Make a list of these benefits.
Now, take one benefit at a time and create an article. This will assure you of generating an article idea that people want to read about.
Step 2: Write a simple outline. Once you have your first benefit idea selected. Take another sheet of paper and write a simple outline for that idea. This will give you the beginning content for your article. Later we will “fill in the blanks” of this simple outline to create the article itself.
Step 3: Choose a killer title that will draw attention. This is one of the most important aspects of your article. Without a killer title, your article will be passed over for another.
Now what do I mean killer title? What I mean is a title that has a benefit stated in it and draws peoples attention.
Answer these three questions to help you write that killer title.

Does the title draw a reader to take a look?
Does the title promise to solve a need for the reader?
Does the title offer specific information?

Another way to start writing killer titles is to write at least 20 to 100 titles for each article to start. Then review other people’s article titles. Then review your list and select your best killer title. I will tell you from my own experience that the more titles I write for an article, the better my title becomes. I have never used any of the first few titles when doing the above exercise.
Step 4:
Grab your readers with an attention-grabbing opening sentence. You can use either a statement or a question here. The idea here is to not only grab the readers’ attention. It’s also to keep it.
The best way I have learned to write an attention-grabbing opening sentence is to go online to an article directory and read the opening sentences to articles with a similar topic. I then discover which opening sentences are attention-grabbing and which are not.
Once I’ve done this I find it really easy to get my attention-grabbing sentence out of the way.
Step 5: State the primary purpose of the article by introducing a problem. By looking at your main benefit again you can turn it around into a problem. What is it like without the benefit? Here it is best to use a statement rather than a question.
If you are having trouble with this step simply write out an answer to this statement: “One of the biggest problems…” Use this to jar your idea centers in your mind. You can also begin your primary purpose statement this way. Look at the beginning of this article for an example.
Step 6: Take out the sheet of paper that has your outline on it. Now, write two to four sentences for each part of your outline. Imagine for a moment that a 7 year old has asked you about your article. How would you explain it to that child? Great! Now use that in your article.
Most ezine publishers and owners like articles between 400 to 500 words. They also want it formatted to between 60 and 65 characters per line, including spaces.
I have found it best to use “notepad” when beginning to write out my articles and NOT a word processing program. This way there is NO formatting in the article. It is just the article in plain text.
Another point here is to use the word “you” a lot. You want the reader to feel comfortable while reading.
Step 7: Include two to three free resources that the reader can find online to illustrate and/or highlight your article content. Using this of course is only if it is appropriate to your article content.
Step 8: Write a resource box for the end of your article. Make this between 4 to 8 lines max. Here is where you tell a little bit about yourself and then highlight your website or email address. See the bottom of this article for an example of a resource box. It is the information that follows, “about the author,” below.
Step 9: And finally, with your article written it is time to reread and rewrite. I have found that reading it aloud and/or having one or two other people read it helps a lot at this stage.
Don’t run into a problem many beginning article writers fall into. Many of them don’t like something they wrote and try to begin again. STOP! Don’t begin again. Simply edit around the copy that flows.
Step 10: Now last but definitely not least, reread your article for grammar mistakes and use spell check one last time! This IS the most important step.
Once your article is done you should do the following two things.
1. Submit your article to “article announce” services online. An article announce service is a email service that posts articles for everyone. You have to be a member to submit your article. Once you join you can post your articles as you have them completed. Usually only one article submission to each of the announce services per day.
Writers, Publishers and Website owners watch the articles being announced for content that they can use.
When you join these services, it is best to use a second email address. This way the large numbers of articles you will be receiving will not interrupt your personal and business email.
Here are a few article announce services to subscribe to. After you email them to subscribe, READ the email they send you and FOLLOW the directions on formatting your article for each of them. This will increase your ability of having your articles published in these services.
I have listed only article announce services that are located at Yahoo eGroups. After you have subscribed and read each email you receive. Go to this URL to post your articles:
http://groups.yahoo.com/mygroups

Article directories and archives are web sites that contain hundreds and thousands of articles from all over the world. Once you post your article at one of these locations your articles will be in front of thousands of readers, Publishers, writers and website owners.
Here are three to get you started:

Every Home Business entrepreneur in the world has a clear and well defined goal: to earn money with his/her Business. Then the next question would be: how can we know if we really ?earn?or are just loosing money? Allthough it sounds trivial, it is not.
I assume that only in few cases a fellow home business entrepreneur will be able to have an own accountant to calculate the Profit/Loss sheet. So you may need to help yourself. Let?s go step by step. Setting an own Budget could help you to know ?when you are in plus?and when the opposite is the case.
A Budget is nothing else as estimating costs and income. As every ?prediction?, calculation and reality could differ. Thus it is your task to review your budget from time to time and adjust it based on real numbers. The ?real numbers?are the ?actuals?you get from your business. The ?budget?is the estimation of your costs and income. There are several applications on the market to perform the mentioned steps. For the beginning, you can use a calculation sheet.
1) Choose the periodicity of your budget. Usually you may choose weeks or months. This means you need to calculate every cost to a weekly or monthly basis. I.e. if you pay for your autoresponder 120$ a year, the monthly costs are 10$ and the weekly costs are equal 120$ divided by 52, getting 2,31$ per month
2) Make a complete list of all recurring costs you already know: i.e. Web hosting, Residual Income Fees, your autoresponder, lead subscriptions and so on. Make a complete list with all costs you already know. Consult your credit card statements and search your Paypal account for subscription payments. Transform the costs to the unity of time you have chosen in step 1 (i.e. monthly or weekly).
3) Now make a list of all ?one time?payments you plan to have this year, and calculate the accruals for the periodicity you have chosen in Step 1. Example: you plan to buy Internet Marketing Literature for 300$ this year (this is your Budget). You could calculate then a monthly ?costs?of this literature as 25$ a month, or 5.79$ per week. If you have purchased equipment (i.e. Hardware), you need to distribute the costs amount the life of the product. I.e. one PC usually is used for three years. If you pay 1000$ as one time payment, you can distribute the costs over three years, giving 333.33$ per year or 27.7$ monthly, or 6.41 $ per week. This is call ?depreciation.?. If you now that after three years you may sell the PC for 200$, calculate the depreciation accordingly, starting now from 800$ (1000$-200$). As you see, Hardware is not as expensive as you would expect, from the financial point of view.
Add the costs obtained in step 3) to the list you have already prepared in step 2). Now you have the complete list of your estimated monthly or weekly costs.
4) Now we come to the most interesting section: your Earnings! Obviously you can be in ?plus?, only if your earnings are higher as your costs. This sounds again trivial, but is not easy to achieve.
Most of the Internet Marketing Newbie?s would expect to be ?in plus? after a very short period of time. This is unrealistic. As you have seen in the first steps of the calculation of your budget, you may consider Hardware, Literature, Marketing spending and other costs that in the first months do not have the corresponding earnings. Thus, it is absolutely normal that you may have a period where you are ?in minus? for a while, till you reach your ?break-even point? (earnings = costs).
But let?s come back to the earnings. In Internet Marketing, your earnings are derived from sales. There are either direct sales or indirect sales from your downline, if you are driving an MLM like business.
Here you will see that the estimations of earnings is obviously much difficult then the estimation of your costs. Ideally, you may express your earnings as a percentage of your marketing spending. If your marketing effort is not able to produce sales, you may review it and look for other marketing strategies. You need to achieve that every penny invested in marketing lead to internet income. IF you have tracked properly your marketing campaigns, you may be in a good position to estimate your ?conversion rate? (the percentage of your clicks that lead to sales) and thus, can express your earnings as a percentage of your marketing costs.
Example: you are running a Campaign with PPC Search Engines to promote your business. You pay 0.05$ per click and achieve 300 clicks a month. Your corresponding recurring costs of 15$ a month are already considered in your budget.
Your conversion rate may be 1%, so you expect three sales per month. If you get 8$ per sale, your monthly earnings are 24$ a month. This means your profitability is 25% (24$-15$) / 15$. For every advertising dollar you get 1.25$ sales.
The total profitability of your business will be lower, since you need to consider the total cost and not only the PPC marketing cost.
The problem may consist that at the beginning you will not know the conversion rate of your campaign, so you will need to work with estimations. Once you have the real numbers, review your estimations based on that numbers. Your Budget will get more and more accurate, the more data you can provide.
5) Now you can build your Budget based on Costs and estimated earnings month by month.
You may decide to ?reinvest? part of your earnings and increase your marketing spending month by month.
It is time now to put all data into your Calculation Sheet. Start building columns, one column per period (week or month). Per each period, reserve two columns, one for your budget and one for your ?actuals? (your real numbers).
Divide your rows in ?Earnings? and ?Costs?, subdivide them in several rows for your earnings (in the case you are working with multiple programs, reserve one row per program) and one row per each cost element identified in the steps 1-2.
Reserve a Row for a sum of all your cost elements (per period) and a corresponding row for the sum of all your earnings (per period). At the end, add one Row with the difference of your earnings minus your costs.
Now you are in the position to see period by period, what is the ?net result? of your business. You will see immediately if you are earning or losing money.
As already mentioned, it is absolutely normal that in your first months (or years?) you will have more costs then earnings. This is the case for every business. However you should be now in the position to ?predict? when your ?break-even? point will be reached (total earnings = total costs, per period). You may decide to invest more in marketing activities if they seem to be profitable, or save costs by reducing your recurring expenses.
6) Review your budget on a regular basis. The more data you have, the more accurate your budget will get. Calculate period by period your conversion rate and monitor the results of your marketing activities. Put the results back to your budget and create new Budget ?versions? for that purpose.
7) Now run your business! Your Budget is now a powerful instrument to give you a good financial basis if you are on track or not. Some people have the tendency to oversee spending and overestimate earnings. If you feed your budget with real data, it will give you an instant view of the results of your entrepreneurship! Most of the CEO´s of the world are doing exactly that. Of course financial aspects are important, but can not replace your Vision and Strategic thinking. But it can ?bring you back to the earth?, if your strategy and vision is too ambitious, but can not be financed.

Web hosting can best be described as a modern-day marriage: First of all, we all need to take a little responsibility and at least figure out what we think we need from a web host up front. This isn’t always as easy as you might imagine. You don’t always know your exact needs ahead of time, and sometimes these things are difficult to foresee. Your site may become hugely popular, requiring more bandwidth or storage than previously thought. You may decide to have data feeds hosted on your site, which will gobble up resources. On online store can do the same. One way I’ve found myself in the position of having to change web hosts is when a technology you want to use or implement on your site isn’t supported by your host.

Make sure you can grow with this new host. Not only in the size of your current sites, but also number of domains and subdomains you can host there. If you’re anything like me, I want to be able to get the most bang for my hosting buck! Don’t be afraid of terms like reseller hosting. You can actually not only save yourself a lot of money in the long run if you have a lot of sites, and also make your online life a lot more organized. Besides, I would host my sites on different web hosting companies so as to diversify the risk if anyone of them has server problems such as maintenance issue. I have four hosting accounts at different companies at the moment, with many sites on each.

When choosing a web hosting comapny, I would consider some basic issues such as support, uptime, and customer satisfaction which will be evident for my decision. Recently I have joined a new web hosting due to the expansion of my sites, and I just find their services are excellent and worth for money. Their technical assistance and service in handling questions and problems is exceptional. They quickly understood my problem and worked promptly to find the answer and helped me to resolve a difficulty. I was having changing shipping option settings in my shopping site. Within a very short period of time, they helped me to make the necessary changes, and clearly explained the details so that I would have no difficulty making similar changes in the future. Their technical support group is easily accessible (via telephone or Internet), professional and quick to respond. If you are in search of a new web hosting, I would recommend this one, Host Gator.

Deciding to work from home can be a good decision or a bad one. It depends of your attitude and your love for business. If you really make the decision to start a home business you have made the first step to succeed. But now the question is: ” How do i choose the best home business among the internet business opportunities jungle ?
There are litterally millions of them on the internet. Where do i start ? And how do i know if this or this home business is the right one for me ?
There are so many home business opportunities out there that it’s hard to know where to start. And how do you know you have chosen the best one? It can all get pretty frustrating.First do some research. How long are they in business ? Do they have a good products to sales ? Do they pay good commission ? Do they deliver the check ? (I remember one home business where i have nerver seen a check !)
So here is 6 ways to choose your own home business
1. FREE to join
Do you have to pay to join an affiliate program for example ? How much those it cost ? Are you willing to pay $1000 a month or between $30 to $100 a month ? Are you willing to advertise between $50 to $5000 a month to bring people etc.
Most people don’t want to pay a lot of money before starting up a home business. So in my experience you should choose a home business that cost $30 to $75 a month.(It should be FREE to join). The cost should be for buying product to try yourself and advertising.
2. FREE website. Does your home business offer you a free website or gateways ? If not! Are you able to make or run a website. Or to pay to make one. (It can cost between $100 to $5000 to have one made by an expert.)
3. FREE Training and follow-up
What kind of support and training does the Internet company offer? What kind of support and training do you want when you start up your home business? Do you want ongoing training ? Or just a Smart Start Training ?
4. Great Products
Does the company offer exclusive product like vitamin or special information ? Is it easy to sale ? Is it a quality product ? Does it have a money back guaranteed ? Are they to pricey to buy ?
5. Compensation Plan
Does the company offer a good commission like between 40% to 80% per sales ? Does it offer residual income ? (a residual income; is an income you get month after month on the same product you sell to the clients as long as he keeps buying it).
Does it offer great rewards like after 4 sales you get a bonus ? Are there clear goals that you can achieve? Is it hard to achieve does goals ?
6. Leads generation system
Does your home business offer you leads that you can buy to build your business ? Are those leads old or new leads ? Are they double opt-in or even triple opt-in quality leads ? Are they really good leads ?
This is a short summary of what to look for for a home business. You can find all this in my home business opportunities. After joining and testing thousand of home business this is probably one of the best you will ever try.

Even after you’ve managed to bring traffic to your site you may be losing sales because of problems with your site’s usability. What’s “usability?
Usability is how easily people are actually able to use your site. And you may be surprised at how much money you may be losing because your site has usability problems.
Just because you think your site is easy to use, doesn’t mean your average customer does.
Instant Tip # 1: Have someone you know who has the same computer skills as an “average user?for your site check it out.
Have them to do something specific, like purchase a product, sign up for your newsletter or log into an account. Watch what they do, and ask them to speak their thoughts out loud.
Make sure you let them do it on their own. You won’t be there to give your potential customer any directions. If your “tester?finds what they’re looking for, that’s great. If they have trouble, that’s important for you to know.
Once you’ve seen how an “average user” actually uses your website, you can change things to make your site easier to use.
Instant Tip # 2: Use “Web Conventions? People expect to see things a certain way on the web. When they don’t see them, they get confused.
In sales, a confused mind says “No?
When you don’t use Web Conventions on your site your visitors get confused and leave. You lose not only a potential sale, but someone who might have become a repeat customer.
Here are some important Web Conventions to keep in mind.
Instant Tip # 3: Have your Navigation across the top or down the left. That’s what people are used to, so don’t confuse them.
Instant Tip # 4: Make sure your links are blue and underlined. This is a very important Web Convention. Make it obvious what is clickable. It’s a good idea to make your buttons 3-D so it’s very clear that they’re buttons.
Instant Tip # 5: Have a sub-heading for each section and make the sub-heading bigger than the rest of the text.
Steve Krug uses the term “Don’t Make Me Think”. The main idea is that the more a visitor has to think, the more it hurts your sales.
Design your site so it’s extremely easy for people to find what they’re looking for. Your site doesn’t need to look like everyone else’s. Just use Web Conventions to help make it super easy for someone to buy what you’re selling.
So now you know the keys to increasing sales by making your site more usable. Before you forget, take a look at the F/R/E/E ebook “How to Flood Your Website With Targeted Traffic? You should do it now before your competitors find out about it.

Since your doing all this work to generate traffic to your main website why not profit EVEN MORE by adding 3 blocks of Google Adsense code to your “Feeder Pages” just in case your visitor decides not to click through to your website or affiliate site.
And since your “Feeder Pages” have quality Keyword Targeted content on them, your Google Adsense Ads will display targeted ads.
The best places to put your 3 blocks of Google Adsense code is right at the top under your Header graphic if you have one. The next best place is in the upper left sidebar. And the last place is either within the content itself or at the end of the article.
These positions all depend on how you build your “Feeder Pages”, so make sure you plan out where you want to put your Google Adsense code in advance for Maximum PROFIT!
Tip #5. Add an RSS feed to your “Feeder Pages”.
Okay. Here’s the last tip I’m going to share and that is, add an RSS(Real Simple Syndication) feed to your “Feeder Pages”.
By doing this you’ll be putting your “Feeder Pages” on Autopilot, 24/7.
Why an RSS feed?
Simple. RSS feeds deliver and syndicate fresh content, so if you have an RSS feed on your “Feeder Pages” your content will be updated ‘Automatically’ which will then trigger the search engine spiders to schedule routine visits back to your website for more indexing.
Well… there you have it in a nutshell folks.
If you follow what I have outlined above you’ll be on your way to FREE targeted search engine traffic and Google Adsense $$PROFITS$$.
These are just some quality tips I wanted to share with you from my own experience to help you Maximize your efforts if you decide to use this type of Traffic Generation, and to also help take away the Trial and Error process.

Who would of ever guessed that Virtual Real Estate on the Internet would one day make many netpreneurers thousands, if not, millions of dollars.
I know I sure didn’t when I first got started online, but am glad I ran across the concept while searching the web one night.
The facts are true and John Reese who is an Internet pioneer and the author of one of the Internets most powerful home study courses called “Traffic Secrets” is just one of those individuals who is successfully profiting from his Virtual Real Estate empire as we speak.
John Reese has been around since the being when the Internet first became a commercial entity and knows what works and what doesn’t online simply because he is known as a Test Freak(I mean that in a good way John).
If you want to read up more on John Reese go to ==> http://www.internetwondersezine.com/traffic-secrets.html
Now, some of you might be wondering what Virtual Real Estate is so I’ll give you a quick definition:
Virtual Real Estate is simply a Information Packed website with hundreds, if not, thousands of webpages full of targeted information.
That’s all they are. It doesn’t have to get any more complicated then that.
I’ll also give you some examples of VRE sites towards the end of this article.
Now that you know what Virtual Real Estate is, what there main purpose is and who is successfully doing it right now, lets dive into the — “6 Reasons WHY John Reese’s VRE (Virtual Real Estate) Concept Is The Way To Go In 2006″.
Reason #1. People come online for Information.
One of the main reasons WHY people come online is to search for Information that’s either related to a problem they’re facing or for some consumer reviews on a particular product or service they’re thinking about purchasing.
People rarely come online with the intent to buy something. Most of the time it’s for Information.
How do you think the Internet got the nickname – The Information Super-Highway.
Reason #2. VRE sites can target any Niche.
This is the true beauty of VRE sites simply because they can target ANY niche on the planet, it doesn’t matter.
They can be about Pets, Sports, Business, Family, Hobbies, and the list goes on and on.
I think you get the picture.
Reason #3. Us other peoples content.
The real cool thing about VRE sites is you don’t have to produce ANY of your own content if you don’t want to.
There are literally hundreds of places on the web where you can get and use other peoples work to build your VRE empire, and more importantly, they’re more then happy to give it to you.
Reason #4. Google will pay you if you want.
Want to make some $CASH$ at the same time?
Good, because Google will happily pay you for adding a little piece of code to your webpages by signing up for their Google Adsense program, and depending on what market your targeting, they could pay you some handsome commissions every month and all that is required to get paid is for someone to click on one of the Googles ads.
And again, all this can be achieved without you writing a single word.
Pretty COOL!!
Reason #5. Add targeted affiliate programs for more $CASH$.
Want to make even more money with your VRE sites?
Depending on what market your targeting like in Reason #4, you can also add others peoples affiliate programs that are targeted towards the content within your VRE site that usually pay between 35% to 75% on every sale made.
If you’ve been online for any length of time then you know that content is an excellent way to Pre-Sell to your potential customer, so you’ve already gotten your foot in the door to possibably make a potential sale.
There are many places online that offer affiliate programs. Simply type in – affiliate directories – into any search engine and they will display all the results for you.
Reason #6. Unlimited FREE Traffic to your VRE sites.
The more your VRE site or sites grow, the more FREE targeted traffic you’ll get.
Your probably asking, “where the heck does this FREE traffic come from?”
I’ll tell you where it comes from. It comes from search engines like Google, MSN, Yahoo!, just to name a few.
Content is “Search Engine Food”. And search engines love content, so in order for them to be continually fed the search engines send out a little robots called “Spiders” which crawl the web continuously looking for NEW webpages to index into their database.
So, the more content that is added to your VRE site or sites, the more often these little “Spiders” will stop by to give your VRE site a crawl and index any new content you’ve added.
Point being, the more optimized webpages your VRE site or sites have that get index, the more FREE search engine traffic you’ll receive.
Do you see NOW how Powerful VRE sites are and why you should consider building a network of these that target different niches?
All your doing is giving your potential customer what they want which is Information and at the same time offering them a solution by adding Google Adsense ads and targeted affiliate programs, which is where you get paid for your efforts.
And remember, you don’t even have to write a single word if you don’t want to, and you still get paid!
John Reese really hit a home run with this concept I have to say which is way he encourages all to start building and growing them in 2006.
Now as I mentioned at the beginning that I would give you some examples of what a VRE site might be so here are a few examples for you to get started with: Article Directories, Review Sites, Directories, Mini Sites and Niche Blogs.
Well, that’s it. Now it’s up to you to get your creative juices flowing and start building your network of profitable VRE sites.
