Marketing to Marketers

Marketing to other marketers to make it easier to make money is great but many of the buyers never use the products and just try to pawn them off on other marketers.  So you wind up with all these people selling scripts, programs, eBooks, and more to other online marketers and they profess how great they are without ever using them.  They are just trying to make a buck as an affiliate of someone else’s idea.

I am all for new marketing ideas especially the ones that automate tedious tasks.  I love submitting articles and use an auto submitter.  RSS feeds provide news to my sites.  Automatically creating links to Clickbank items based on keywords in my blogs is a godsend.

But, to me, if people don’t use these products and just pimp them to others, they are missing out on the long term benefits for a quick buck.

I admit that I have done this in the past and may do it again in the future – but – I only sell products that I actually use and approve.  That way I can actually vouch for them since I have used them and can speak from personal experience.

Personally, I prefer to market to the average Internet Joe.  I market to people who are looking for a deal on a credit card (and I use a super script to keep my site current).  I recommend hotels in Thailand and can speak from first-hand experience.  I post links to hotels in Thailand forums and also have 6 Thai affiliate hotel sites.

I also write articles about Thailand and list my hotel affiliate links in the author’s resource box.  These are pretty easy to write since I have been traveling to Thailand for over 30 years.

I also write the occasional marketing or credit article to get some traffic to those sites.  I have about 10 article sites and advertise on those sites that others submit their articles to.

I would rather make a few bucks marketing a product to people who are actually going to use it instead of marketing to someone who is only going to try to sell it to someone else.

All of this is just my personal opinion.  There is nothing morally wrong or illegal of marketing to marketers.  I use many of the items that are up for sale, especially those that make my life a little bit easier.

The one thing that I do object to is the folks that market to others and make false or misleading statements indicating that they use the product and how wonderful it is when they have never used it and just want to make a buck.

Anyhow, keep coming up with all those great products that marketers can use to make our lives easier.  Just market them honestly.

Ecommerce Web Hosting

eCommerce is the wave of the future, and it is very difficult for an eCommerce business to be successful without a good web hosting service. As the proprietor of a web hosting business, your website is everything. It is your calling card and the portal to your goods and/or services. Without it, there is no business.

What eCommerce Web Hosting Means to You

That’s why it is so important to have an eCommerce web host that has what you need, specifically, the willingness and ability to help you set up a great site that is easy for your clients to use and easy for you to modify to meet the needs of an ever-changing client base.

What to Think About With eCommerce Web Hosting

When looking for an eCommerce web host, you should be considering a number of factors. You want a host with maximum uptime, so you’re ready to do business 24 hours a day. You want a host that offers top-notch support so you can get technical problems resolved fast. You want a host that will help you design a site that you can get into and redesign as easy as moving the furniture in your office.

Finding Your eCommerce Web Host

There are plenty of great web hosting programs out there. All you have to do to find one for your eCommerce site is a little research. Compare and contrast hosting fees. Think about the kind of bandwidth and disk space you will need and who can provide it. Look into the reviews of various hosting sites and opportunities from people with experience from these companies. A great eCommerce business starts with a great website and a great website starts with a great web host, so take your time and make sure you find the right one.

Yuwie Make money Social Networking site

I’ve seen this around for a while, but I just got around to actually signing up for an account. Yuwie is a social networking site much like MySpace of Facebook, but this site actually allows you to earn a portion of the revenue your traffic generates for the site. This is not a new concept as it has been done before with varying websites and programs. I think one of the main difference with Yuwie is people actually get paid. I’ve talked to a few of my associates who are already generating several hundred dollars a month with the service and they have only been in a couple of months. Of course I can’t promise you will do the same, but if you can build up a decent team then who knows.

I figured I would give this a shot. I’ve got a few ideas for generating some leads. One of which is posting here. Yes those are affiliate links and if you join through one of them you will be come part of my team. There are some fairly savy marketers jumping on board here and there will be resources coming down the pipe to help people with attracting new members.

I’m betting most people who are reading this already have a built up profile that can be used to start building your team. It was just a year or so ago that MySpace was all the rage and many people where earning a lot of affiliate revenue from their friends list on MySpace. Well Myspace started cracking down and it got tough to send out your broadcasts. Well perhaps many of you still have some of those MySpace accounts. That is prime ground for attracting people to your team as Yuwie has many of the same features as MySpace and Facebook has. Plus wouldn’t it be great to give all your friends an avenue to actually earn a little of the money the generate for MySpace and Facebook. After all what do you have to lose? Setting up an account is free and it is really easy to use. There is a video that will explain exactly how it works so you cna make up your own mind. While the money you can earn initially won’t be a lot, but I would bet if you had just one MySpace account with a 100 friends then you would be able to improve those initial numbers in a hurry. What do you have to lose but a little time? Watch the video now.
