With the current economic downturn, a lot of people are affected with company downsizing, restructuring, or whatever you name it.

And, I remember the movie ‘Perfect Storm’, that the only way to survive the storm is to stay ‘above water’.

Just a thought this morning before the days start, that i firmly believe that if you’re one of them, these simple steps could help you in one way or another.

1. Join a few CPA networks company.

2. Pick 3-6 CPA offers that is of high quality, and address a certain need.

3. Use Google keyword tool to generate 100 keywords.

4. Find out how people are advertising in the Google.

5. Drive traffic to it with Yahoo Search Marketing , using the keywords and ads that you found in 3 & 4.

6. Test, track it, and remove those non-converting keywords/adgroups.

7. Repeat the process for other CPA offers.

This is the stuff that works, try it.

Hey Friends,

Here’s my first post in 2009.

By now you should have heard of WebProsperity which is set for official launch on 6th Jan 2009, 3 days from now.

Read this post before you join WebProsperity .

A lot of promotion has already been done on the pre-launch stage and some of the biggest names on the Internet Marketing history has also taken part in the pre-launches, which is very interesting.

Now before you join WebProsperity , you want to know which "team" you are joining, there’s a good reason for it (read on to find out more).

Because of the scale and "hype" that was created, i decided to dig further on this program and layout the pros and cons for you here.

What is WebProsperity?

In short, It is a network marketing company targeting at Internet Marketers, with the products being the essential tools that all serious marketers would need, like autoresponder.

What’s in it for me here?

If you are internet marketer yourself (It doesn’t matter which market or niche you are in), you would gladly know that this is a great passive income opportunity that you could leverage on, anyway you would be spending money on those essential services too (like aweber), while enabling you to build a potential massive income by leveraging the webprosperity compensation plan.

If you are a network marketer yourself or looking for a great network company online, then this a great news for you! You would want to join the pre-launch spot before 6th Jan 2009 to take advantage of the probably "premium" top spot in the network. As I have some good knowledge in the network marketing, I know what are the things that make a great network marketing company. A new and great company, great product, great leadership team and of course a great payout plan. All of this are in place.

Why products do WebProsperity offer?

The company offering this product, Implix Inc is the company offering Getresponse autoresponder which thousands of internet marketers are using, beside this Implix also own other products like WebsiteWizard, HyperTracker and etc.

With WebProsperity available, internet marketers can have almost all the essential tools they needed all in one place, tools for purpose like meeting, contact, media, finder, address book and calendar.

What does Implix has over the competitor?

Implix has been operating since 1998 on several online businesses and till date it has 750,000 active users worldwide. Implix has many talented programmers supporting the system.

How much is the WebProsperity Products?

There are only two plan.

$29.95 per month for premium builder package and $59.95 for elite builder package.

How is WebProsperity compensation plan?

The plan is called Freedom Compensation Plan and there’s 3 ways to earn.

- Pacesetter Bonus (20% recurring bonus, simply refer 5 paying members and you would be free)

- Momentum Matrix Royalty (earn rewards for team building with new 2 x 15 matrix)

- Platinum Leadership Development Bonus (enroll platinum leaders and earn based on their teams)

What is the Total Payout For WebProsperity?

This is the term that most networkers would want to know, it’s 67%.

Now, Which Team Should You Join?

Ideally, you should join under the team (the upline) which is doing ongoing promotion and has a huge email list (You should also personally promote this to your contacts and email list to maximise the potential).

Read on further on why you should join my team.

The term "spillover" which was introduced because of the fact that this is a 2×15 forced matrix, so whatever additional leads which your upline has built will be available to your network and it may be a potential gold mine if you have a strong upline.

My team has a very solid upline and he is commonly called "World’s No 1 Super Affiliate" which obviously has a very huge email list, and he will be promoting this agressively in 2009. So take advantage of this and join my team here (I’m the first few who join his team).

What is my earning potential?

Now, with any network marketing plan, you need to work on it in order to earn. That’s the minimum, you can also play it big or you could just do the minimum, it’s up to you.

If someone promise you that you do not have to do anything and you will be earning millions of dollars, stay away!

What is the potential downside?

The real truth on a failing network marketing program is a failing product and its leadership that leads to members dropping out and staying inactivity. From the surface, it looks good now, but we will be able to see when the system goes live for a while.

If everything goes fine, it would be massive!

While it’s still early in the launch now, and there’s no cost for you to join, I urge you to grab an account now and announce it to your list.

Summary

All in all, I view that this is a great opportunity as the pros has out-numbered any cons by large, Grab a ground zero launch in 2009 and lock in your position now.

I have decided to promote this program in 2009, and hence registered WebprosperityReview , check it out now!

More info will also be published on WebProsperityReview Blog .

I will see you on the inside!

Recently i met some old friends who is running some online business from all kind of markets, and they started some campaigns in Adwords, there’s ONE “serious” thing i learned from them after the meet-up, which i think is very important in your online business, especially those people who are focused on “make money with Adwords” market.

The million dollar question is..

>> Are you aware of your Return Of Investment - ROI of your advertising?

>> Which is, if you spend $10 in your Adwords campaign, how much would you get back in your business?

>> A simple example would be, $50 revenue from $10 spent in Adwords campaign, means it’s 400% in ROI,resulting in $40 net profit.

If you don’t know how much you are making after spending certain amount of money in advertising, then you are seriously putting your business at risk, no matter how small or how big your business is. Would you agree with me?

You need to know those details.

For me, i would track the number of clicks, Adwords cost, and Sales and determine if i want to measure the ROI daily or weekly, or even monthly. You just find what works for you and stick to those.

And usually i would do a monthly average for my campaign. This is kind like monthly report, most MNC would also do this in their multi million or billion businesses!

Once you know all these information, it’s easy to decide if you want to increase your bid, drop your bid, change the keywords and anything else to optimize your campaign, and drive up the ROI.

So, start today if you have not done so.

You will be glad if you did, this is bread and butter of online advertising::)

Simply generate a report showing your daily adwords cost, and start comparing the daily sales for your recent campaign and measure your return of investment.

Till next time,

I have been exploring one of the most powerful tool developed by Google..called Google Hot Trends.

Some of you might have seen it or even used it in one way or another.

What Google Hot Trends does is it publishes the hottest 100 keywords that the United States people are searching…The world’s biggest online market. The cool thing is that Google update this list 10 times a day, so the keyword that you see is fresh from the oven.

So, how to make use of this tool?  I would discuss one here…

You can explore this list for the event based keyword, like “valentine day” or “easter day”.

I can almost assure you that during those event, the volume of the most relevant keyword would  surge through the roof! For a at least one week, depends on the nature of the event.

So, you can look for the related affiliate product or related CPA lead offer to promote at Google, YSM or even MSN Adcenter.

I grabbed a few of the keywords and throw out some campaigns, hey! They convert and turn a profit.

Tips: even the non-relevant keyword works for me in this case.

>> For friends at Ewen Chia Gathering,

I really hope you enjoyed what I have shared with you at the gathering or through my report. It’s my pleasure anyway.

Hey, i still want to say something loud and clear (for those who have an internet dream and have not started anything for whatever  reason, you owe it to yourself, you have more than enough knowledge to start a real internet business, so do it now.)

I would like to hear from you on the “special report” that you guys got from me, be it a thank you, how you use it, testimonial, comments, questions or anything…

So go ahead and fill out the comments right below!

Have you heard of Tracking202 beta?

I believe a lot of people would love this tool! Before i go any further, beware that this a third party tool, so they have every right to access to the information that you have with them and probably the niche that you are in too…since the main purpose of the tool will be tracking the keyword / campaign conversion and profitability.

The creator Wes Mahler is a PPC expert and he knows his stuff! So, if you need some PPC tracking tools, give this a try. You can find tons of videos, blog posts and there’s a forum as well.

Tracking is definitely the key to winning the PPC game, if you don’t track what you are doing, It’s very difficult to stay in this game.

So, do implement a tracking plan that suits your need. While i personally do track my campaign a lot (as in daily) and i would say that i don’t track down to keyword level at this moment. Unless the keyword is generating a lot of view for me.

That’s all.

Time flies…I was not updating the blog for more than a month…

Just want to bring you some update on the PPC industry as Yahoo Search Marketing changes its rules on direct linking. Does it got something to do with Microsoft bidding on Yahoo?? I don’t know…

As you know, the Direct Linking Method was formerly not allowed on Yahoo Search Marketig. They have opened up this opportunity again. This opens up a huge opportunity for affiliate marketers to tap onto various kinds of markets as the time taken to test any market can be shorten significantly, without the need of own landing pages.

However, i still believe that with your own landing pages, then only you can leverage on the traffic that you got. You can do a lot more things on your landing pages. But of course, this takes a lot of time.

But heck! Who says affiliate marketing is easy?

If you are still not tapping onto PPC traffic on Yahoo Search Marketing, you should consider doing yourself a favor. From my testing, the traffic that i got is much more qualified than the big G and so far the conversion rate has been very impressive!

You can sign up for Yahoo Search Marketing here (With $25 Credit).

Putting up a company would of course require a lot of things, to get straight to the point, you need a capital. To make money requires money as well. But of course, with the versatility the Internet offers, there are many ways you could find that could help optimize the potential of your site or business in generating traffic.

While there are ways to jumpstart your traffic flows, many sites don’t have the resources that others have to generate more traffic for your site. Well, you don’t have to spend a cent; all you need is the proper mindset and a lot of eagerness. You also must have the drive and perseverance to do hard work and research to generate more traffic for your site.

How sweet it is to have more traffic for your site without spending a single cent. Now it’s a sure thing that many sites have articles that offer tips and guidelines in how to generate traffic using only free methods. Because it is possible, you don’t need to speed a single cent, it may take time, to say honestly, I’m not going to beat around the bush with you. You get better chances by paying for your advertisements, but at least you get a fighting chance with some of these free methods I’m about to tell you.

Take advantage of online forums and online communities. The great thing about forums and online communities is that you can target a certain group that fits the certain demographic that you are looking for. You can discuss about lots of things about the niche that you represent or offer. Another great advantage is that you know what you are getting into and you will be prepared.

With online communities and forums you can build a reputation for your company. Show them what you are made of and wow them with your range of expertise about the subject, with that you can build a reputation and build trust with the people in your expertise and knowledge.

You can also make use of newsletters. Provide people with a catalog of your products and interesting and entertaining articles. If you make it really interesting and entertaining, more people will sign up for your newsletter and recommend it to other people. The more people who signs up for your newsletter, the more people there will be that will go to your site increasing your traffic.

While the first two methods above have been discussed briefly earlier, here’s another:

Another great idea is trading links with other sites. You don’t have to spend a cent. All you have to do is reach an agreement with another webmaster. With exchanging links, the efforts both sites do will benefit both sites. Every traffic that goes to the site could potentially click on the link of your site and visit your site as well. This works well especially when both sites feature the same niche.

Write articles that could pique the attention of people that have interest in your product. Try writing articles that will provide tips and guides to other aficionados. Writing articles that provide good service and knowledge to other people would provide the necessary mileage your traffic flow needs.

Many sites offer free submission and posting of your articles. When people find interest in your articles they have a good chance of following the track by finding out where the article originated. Include a link or a brief description of your company with the article and there’s a great probability that they will go to your site.

Write good content for your site. Many Search Engines track down the keywords and keyword phrases your site uses and how they are used. It is not a requirement that a content should be done by a professional content writer. You could do your on but you have to make content for your site that is entertaining as well as informational. It should provide certain requirements as well as great quality.

(More on Search Engines and Search Engine Optimization in the coming post)

Generally, Internet users use Search Engines to find what they are looking for. Search Engines in return use keyword searching in aiding their search results. With the right keywords, you could get high rankings in Search Engine results without the costs.

All of these methods and more will drive more traffic to your site for free. All it takes is a bit of effort and extended man-hours. Learn all you can about the methods depicted here and you will soon have a site with a great traffic flow without the usual costs that come with it.

Thanks for reading.
