3 Simple ways to harness concept of the Free Offer for internet marketing

One of the reason why the concept of free stuff online works really well has a lot to do with the nature of the internet where people go online to find free information and share music online. Many good internet marketers have learnt that offering free things to their website visitors can help make them more money online and this article highlights three simple strategies that successful internet marketers have used.

Free Ebooks
Giving away a free ebook to visitors to your website can help establish you as an expert and help you increase the number of subscribers to your newsletters. Ebook software today allows the creator of the ebook to get the email address and name of the person reading the ebook and build his mailing list.

Another way people use these free ebooks is to embed their affiliate links and product links into them so that readers of the ebooks will click on them and thus get more website traffic to their websites and make money when these get converted into sales. Other ebooks writers today allow readers to access the first three chapters free so as to whet their appetite and then make the reader pay for the rest of the information.


Free services
Most people are quite unaware of this business model online. Add lots of resources to your website and let it become an advertising portal where other advertisers pay to place ads on your website. Simple things that you can provide for your website visitors can go a long way in getting them to come back. For instance, adding rss feeds related to the content of the website also increases the chances of people returning to your website.


Another way that most people are doing today is starting online forums and allowing people to join them for free. By helping others, you get paid from contextual advertising on your website.


Free information and pre-selling
This concept amount internet marketers was first made popular in a large way when Ken Evoy started talking about pre-selling in the area of affiliate marketing. The idea behind this concept is simple. Simple focus on a keyword rich niche and just give your website visitors information on the niche without any trace of sales copy and embed your affiliate links in the webpage. You make money from visitors that purchase from your merchants from your links.

In conclusion, the concept of the free offer is here to stay on the internet and internet marketers have used it to great success. Learn from them and use these strategies to increase your online profits today! 

3 Steps To Home Business Success

If you own a home business, there are 3 things you
absolutely, positively must have, if you want to be
successful:

1. You must have a guru or mentor:

If you aren't proficient in Internet marketing, website
design and copywiting--and most people aren't, do the smart
thing and seek out an Internet marketing expert to help you.
This can be a huge financial advantage for you, because 90
percent of those individuals coming online don't have a clue
what their doing. And instead of doing the smart thing and
seeking out an expert for help, they'll just struggle along
trying this and that and losing money, until they're finally
forced out of business.

2. You must have a back-up plan:

Not having a back-up plan for your home business is like
being stuck out in the desert with a flat tire and no spare.
You just aren't going anywhere. Sometimes, try as hard as we
might, our ideas just don't work and we have to scrap them.
That's why you should always have a back-up plan. Give your
home business every chance to succeed, but if you sense it's
not going to happen, don't be afraid to pull the plug on it
and move on to plan "B."

3. You must have relentless desire and determination:

This is the number one reason why most people don't
succeeed. They don't have relentless desire and
determination. I want you to commit the following words to
memory:

"Any success you achieve will be in direct proportion to
your desire and determination. The more desire and
determination you have, the greater will be your success!"

Here's another example to illustrate my point:

Most people think it's Kobe Bryant's amazing talent that
sets him apart from the other players in the NBA. And make
no mistake, his talent does play a significant role in his
success. But what really makes Kobe Bryant special is
his "relentless desire and determination." He just wants to
win more than everybody else.

That's the mindset you have to have. You have to want to
succeed with your home business more than anything else in
the world--anything!

And remember these words:

"Any success you achieve will be in direct proportion to
your desire and determination. The more desire and
determination you have, the greater will be your success!"
