CHOOSE ONE OF FIVE BUSINESS MODELS FOR YOUR WEBSITE

Author: David Bain
1) Physical Product

If you sell a physical product, your customers must either be able to buy your product directly from your website or request more information about your product from your website. Check out services like Clickbank, and Prostores to find out the best means of selling your wares.

2) Service

If you offer a service, your customers need to understand exactly what your service entails, and what differentiates you from the competition, within the first few lines on your website. In addition, you need to give your customers a reason to part with their contact details and other personal information so that you can build up your database. Additional "Free Information Product" revenue generation methods detailed below may also be relevant.

3) Free Information Product

If you offer a free information product, your product needs to be interesting, informative and relevant to the consumer. It also needs to be based on in a field where you can monatize (generate a revenue stream from) your content and offer relative products and services based on contextual adverts like Google Adsense or the Yahoo Publisher Network. Affiliate links from brokers such as Commission Junction and pay per click impulse merchandising specialist, Chitika should also be considered.

4) Information Product for sale

If you wish to offer an information product for sale, you need to be a specialist in your field, with a unique angle in a marketplace willing to pay for new information. However, you still have to give some content away for free. You have to whet your readers' appetite for more. A good idea is to aim to collect email addresses to begin with. Then you can stay in touch with your future customers until they make a purchase. When aiming to sell an information product, you can still use contextual and affiliate advertising. But bear in mind where the majority of your income comes from. Make sure that you test whether or not conversion rates mean that you should actually be giving away everything away free and relying on advertisements for your income.

5) Any Combination of the above

Offering a combination of the above may appeal to more consumers and help you gain a faster and stronger reputation in the marketplace. However, unless you're able to concentrate full-time on this project you're probably better to focus on as precise and unique a proposition as possible.

"HOW TO MAKE YOUR COMPUTER YOUR PERSONAL ATM"

Author: Matt Bacak
Do you think that ATM's are only available at banks and credit unions? Think again. Your computer can become your own personal ATM machine. How can you turn your computer into a money making machine? Jump into the world of internet marketing. An Internet marketing business is not only profitable, but can be started quickly and affordably.

What should you do first to help you start an Internet marketing business? You need to create a website that reaches millions of potential customers all over the globe. There are hundreds of software programs, companies, and offerings out there. If you are not familiar with Internet infrastructure then you may have a difficult time trying to find the right company to host your website. We have taken the confusion out of this situation for you by providing references for the best software tools to help get you started.

First, you will need a domain name. Domain names are the text that users will type into the Internet to access you website. Think carefully about your domain name so that it is relevant to your product or service. Once you have a domain name in mind, you need to make sure that it is not taken. You can type it into your Internet browser and see if anything comes up. However, it is good to check this through the domain provider we recommend which is www.godaddy.com.

When you purchase a domain name at www.godaddy.com, make sure that you only purchase the domain name and none of the extra services. Godaddy has a tendency to jack up the prices on these services when you can find them much more affordably at www.frontierpowerhosting.com.

Frontierpowerhosting.com will be your web hosting service. This web hosting Service Company is top notch because you receive your OWN IP address. It is critical to have your own IP address so that your emails are never blocked due to an email spammer that has the same IP address. Frontierpowerhosting.com also has excellent customer service phone support. In addition, Frontierpowerhosting.com provides an "Email Tracker" feature which enables you to track your emails. Frontierpowerhosting.com also will provide you with information regarding the deliverability rate for any emails you send. This information will help you tailor your marketing efforts.

Next you will need to setup a "smart Autoresponder". A smart Autoresponder is one that automatically sends emails or forms to users in order to capture their personal information. Make sure that your Autoresponder captures the following information: first name, last name, email address, time and date stamp.

An effective smart Autoresponder is called "Auto Responder Plus" which you can find at www.arp3.com. Auto Responder Plus is software that you can download on your web hosting account.

Once you have these tools in place, you are ready to create your website. Change your personal computer into a cash cow today!
