Hi,

This is Calvin Woon from www.imbuzzsoftware.com and we’ve got an exciting piece of news for all IM Buzz Software members today!

As mentioned we have exceeded the 20,000 member mark, which is a huge milestone for us. In fact, we have close to 22K members now.

So, in order to celebrate this achievement, we’ve decided to hold a 7 day referral contest where everyone stands to earn something big.

The contest period is going to span from 22nd June 12PM EST, which is this coming Monday till the following Monday, 29th June, 12PM EST.

So do listen carefully to the contest details.

First of all, during this 7 day period, there’s going to be a special pay per lead incentive. Yes that’s right!

We’re going to pay 50 cents per lead during this contest period. This means, for every member you refer to join our site for free through your affiliate link, you’re going to be credited with 50 cents. Simple as that.

And remember, this is on TOP of the recurring sales commissions that you stand to earn as per normal.

I don’t know about you, but to me this is an incredible opportunity because our squeeze page currently converts at above 40%. So this is really an excellent chance to earn huge commissions just by getting people to sign up at our site for free.

So for example, if you were to refer 100 people to sign up at our site, you’ll earn 0.5 x 100 = $50 instantly. And let’s say 5 of them take up our platinum membership, you’ll also stand to earn recurring commissions for months and years to come.

And what if you refer 200, 500 or 1000… So this can really work out to a lot of commissions and all you need to do is to drive traffic to our IM Buzz Software membership site during the 7 day period.

Now of course, just like every pay per lead campaign, we have to implement some rules to safeguard ourselves.

Rule #1: First of all, IP address will be tracked and you are not allowed to refer yourself. Anyone caught to be referring himself will be banned from this competition.

Rule #2: Secondly, you cannot offer monetary incentives for others to sign up at our site. You can offer a bonus for opting in, such as a free ebook or download, in fact we do recommend that you offer a bonus as that will help increase your sign up rates. But you cannot offer money.

Rule #3: And lastly, there’s a minimum payout of $5 which works out to be just 10 referrals in order for you to claim the pay per lead commissions.

Yup those are just some very basic rules that will be simple to adhere to. So it should’t be too much of a problem.

On top of the pay per lead incentive, we’re going to reward the top sales referrers too. The top 3 affiliates who make the most amount of sales in terms of the upsell sales will also walk away with the following cash prizes.

1st Place) $300 + lifetime platinum membership

2nd Place) $200 + lifetime platinum membership

3rd Place) $100 + lifetime platinum membership

Alright, so just go all out and promote our site and you will be rewarded heavily!

Once again, remember to mark down these dates. The contest and special pay per lead incentive is going to run from 22nd June, Monday 12PM EST till the following Monday, 29th June, 12PM EST.

Please feel free to make use of the affiliate promotional tools found inside our members area. And we’ll be sending you some extra materials and tips on how to maximize your optin rates and your commissions. So stay tuned for our next email!

Alright, that’s all for now.. Just prepare yourself to rake in some serious commissions and have a great day ahead!

A niche is any area that has a following of people. For example,
weight loss is a huge niche because it has a large following. There
are many people who want to lose weight. Internet Marketing is also
a niche because there are millions of people who are trying to make
money from Internet Marketing.

So, what is the perfect niche? And, more importantly, how do you
find the perfect Internet Marketing niche?

Well, there is no perfect niche. You have to realize this from the
start. But this doesn’t mean that there isn’t the perfect niche for
you. The perfect niche for you is any niche you have a great
interest in, a niche that is popular, and a niche that doesn’t have
a great deal of competition.

The first part to a perfect niche is probably the most important
part. You have to be interested in the niche you decide to go into.
If you aren’t interested in it then you will really have to push
yourself to work every single day. Everything you do will be
difficult. Eventually this will bring you down. On the other hand,
if you are interested in your niche then more often than not it
will feel like you aren’t even working. You will enjoy just about
everything that you do online. And you will get more work done and
produce work that is extremely high quality.

Of course, you can’t just go into a niche that nobody else cares
about. For example, it might be someone’s passion in life to make
vases out of dried worms. So it might be fun to blog about such
things and to make products to show people how to make their own
dried worm vases. However, odds are that nobody else will care too
much about this so the business will most likely fail.

Instead, a niche has to be something that others are interested in.
Such niches usually fall into a category of making money, love,
happiness, or self improvement. If a niche falls in one of these
categories (or more than one) then you probably have a winner.

Of course competition is also a part of finding the perfect
Internet Marketing niche. However, it isn’t that important. If
there is a lot of competition then you know there’s a market for
the niche. Just come-up with something a little unique or be
prepared to work harder and smarter than the next guy.

It really is quite easy to find the perfect Internet Marketing
niche. You simply have to consider your own interests, what others
want and need, and then your competition. If you consider these
three things then you will have your perfect niche in no time

The two main ingredients that every Internet Marketer needs to
succeed is a solid plan and hard work. That’s it! Success with
Internet Marketing really is just that easy.

The first key to achieving success with Internet Marketing is one
that is often overlooked by people. You have to have a plan. More
than this, you have to have a solid plan. A plan that will work.
How do you come up with such a plan? Well, you do your research and
brainstorm and then you sit down and make the plan. Luckily there
are countless forums and IM products that are on this very subject.
All you have to do is read-up on planning and then get started.

Of course, for any plan to work, you have to have a good idea.
There are already plenty of good ideas out there that you can use.
Simply copy what has been working for other people and then do it
as well or better than the people you’re copying. That is the
simplicity of Internet Marketing.

Now, in order to do anything as well or better than someone who is
already successful, you have to be willing to work. Working hard
should be a given but it isn’t. Far too many people get into
Internet Marketing because they envision themselves working a few
hours a week and making millions of dollars. This simply isn’t the
case. Internet Marketing is very hard work. Sure, some people make
it a level where they are pulling in money without doing much work,
but thousands upon thousands of hours usually preceded this.

If you’re willing to put in the work and you have a solid plan then
you will succeed at Internet Marketing. That is a simple fact that
goes hand in hand with the overall simplicity of Internet
Marketing. And you can simply model your own plan after people who
are already successful. It doesn’t get much easier than that.

The simplicity of Internet Marketing is that anyone can succeed
with it as long as they make sure they cover the two major keys.
The two major keys are to have a solid plan and to work hard. If
you make and follow a solid plan and you work hard no matter what
happens, then you will succeed with Internet Marketing. It really
is just that simple.

As with anything in Internet Marketing, you want to take advantage
of what people want and need. You want to sell products that are in
demand. So, you want to make sure you think about the types of
things people will want and need because of the economy. You want
to think about what types of niches are not affected by the down
economy and which niches in Internet Marketing are actually thriving.

First of all, more and more people are turning to the Internet to
find ways to beat the down economy. This makes niches like debt
relief, job hunting, and self motivation obvious niches to get
into. But there are other niches that should be hot that you can
find too.

You actually need to think outside the box and think down the road
in order to find all the best niches during a down economy. You
want to think what certain conditions will lead to and then think
what that means to Internet Marketing.

For example, think about the fact that people are trying to save
their money or simply don’t have a lot of money to spend. So, that
would mean people will be cutting down on going out to eat and to
see shows and other forms of entertainment. Will people stop having
fun? Probably not. So, what will people want to do then? Well, they
will probably want to stay home and watch movies. So, now might be
a great time to be an affiliate for some of the movie places that
allow people to rent movies and have the movies delivered right to
their home.

Another example is that often couples begin to fight when money
gets tight. This will lead to relationships being strained. So,
more people will be heading to the Internet to try to find
suggestions for how to improve their relationship. This makes the
relationship niche hotter than ever.

A down economy is not automatically a bad thing for Internet
Marketing. While some niches will certainly be affected negatively,
other niches will actually be helped by a down economy. The key is
for the Internet Marketer to think about what happens in a down
economy and then think about what will happen as a result. Then the
Internet Marketer simply has to go into a niche that will answer a
need or want. That will lead to success.

It’s all about Backlinks

There are many great advantages to building pages on social
networking sites. One of the major benefits is all the great
backlinks you get to your site. Backlinks are links that are
anywhere on the Internet and lead back to you site. The more
backlinks you have the higher you’ll rank with the search engines.
So not only will you get traffic from each link (directly from the
social networking sites), you’ll also get more traffic from ranking
higher with the search engines.

Blogging is King

Blogging is a great way to get more traffic to your site. Search
engines love blogs and people enjoy reading blogs too. You should
definitely have at least one blog for each major product that you
sell.

YouTube Rocks!

YouTube is wildly popular on the Internet and it’s only getting
more popular. People love to watch videos on the Internet and
people also love to get a look into other people’s lives. YouTube
allows people to do both.

Even the worst looking videos get traffic. Just slap together a
video and then place a link back to your site at the end of the
video. This will get you traffic and make you money.

Twitter and Squidoo It’s for You!

Twitter and Squidoo are two sites that allow you to have a page and
to interact with other users. Twitter is more simplistic than
Squidoo but both work very well. Right not Squidoo ranks very well
with the search engines too. But it does take a little more time to
set-up a Squidoo page.

Bookmarking is a Must!

Every time you upload any type of social networking content, you
need to bookmark it with a social bookmarking site. This will help
you rank better with the search engines because you will have more
backlinks leading to your site. Be sure to always bookmark
everything!

5 ways to take advantage of social networking marketing are to
create as many backlinks as possible, blog for every new product,
create YouTube videos, create Twitter and Squidoo pages, and
bookmark everything. If you do all 5 of these things then you will
get a great amount of free traffic back to your site.

One major mistake that Internet Marketers always make with YouTube
is they think they have to post a great video on YouTube in order
to get even a few views. This isn’t true.

In fact, any video on YouTube will get views. There will always be
a lot of people who will watch any video. So, regardless how little
an Internet Marketer knows about making videos, and regardless how
good or bad the video might wind-up looking, every Internet
Marketer should be posting videos.

The videos can actually be as simple as just showing the home page
on a site and then reading an article while the home page is
displayed in the video. The video can be as simple as someone
sitting and looking into the camera while they read a blog entry
about something. Both of these types of videos can be made in less
than an hour and they will get watched.

Recently YouTube announced a new way to make money with YouTube.
This new way will allow people to get their videos watched even
more. This will be done through advertising. YouTube is going to
allow people to buy advertising for keywords. This means that you
(and anyone else) can pay money to make sure your video is listed
when specific keywords are searched for on YouTube.

This idea to advertise gains even more importance because YouTube
recently slid into the #2 spot for searches performed on the Web.
YouTube passed Yahoo and now only trails Google. So there are many
people performing searches on YouTube every single day. And now you
can get your video in front of a lot of these people by paying to
advertise for the popular keywords that are related to your video.

The new way to make money with YouTube is to use their new
advertising program. This program will allow you to pay money to
have your video listed when a certain keyword or a keyword phrase
is searched for on YouTube. Since YouTube is now the #2 search
provider on the Web this advertising program gives you even more
power to draw traffic to your site.

A traditional membership site is probably exactly what you guess it
is. It is the type of membership site that is more popular. A
person becomes a member by paying a reoccurring fee and they remain
a member for as long as they want. The sites give them new content
all the time. Being a member continues to cost them money but it
also continues to give them value for their membership fee.

These types of sites are great for Internet Marketers because they
continue to make you money from each and every month for a very
long time. However, they are more work too because you have to
continue to provide value. So while operating a traditional
membership site can be the most profitable, it is also the most
work to maintain.

The second of the major types of membership sites is the fixed term
site. This is when a member joins a site for just a specified
amount of time. So they might join a site for a year long (52
weeks) lesson on how to lose 50 pounds in a year. They might pay
once or they might pay every week, every other week, or maybe every
month. Once the 52nd lesson gets delivered then they are no longer
charged a membership fee and they stop getting the content.

Fixed term sites are often the least time consuming to operate.
This is because you just have to do the initial work of creating
the site, getting up and running, and creating the content. Once
all that is done then you just have to worry about marketing your
site. So you will continue to make money without doing a lot of
work. However, every member you have will only pay a specified
amount of money. You can’t count on one person being a member far
into the future.

The final type of membership site is a newsletter membership site
(also known as an autoresponder membership site). A newsletter
membership site can be either fixed or traditional. With this type
of site you simply deliver all the content via email. So you would
just send the content every week, month, or whenever you promised
it would be. Then the members will just open their emails and click
on the link you provide for them.

Obviously the newsletter membership site is really fast and easy to
set-up. You don’t need to worry about a site with a member’s area
or anything. All you have to do is set-up the site with a sales
page, a thank you page, and an autoreponder. Then load the content
into the autoresponder and you’re done.

The three major types of membership sites are a traditional site, a
fixed term site, and a newsletter site. All three of these sites
have the pros and cons. Choose the one that fits you, your niche,
and your topic best and then market your site.

Here’s a product of ours that’s going to help you with setting up
your very own membership site:

You always want to begin to make your schedule at the beginning of
the week. You do this by sketching out everything you want to get
done and then slowly breaking that down into each day. Try to
divide your workload evenly and try to break it up for each day
where it makes the most sense.

Once you have the week sketched out then you want to begin really
filling in each day with detail. Figure out how much time you have
in the day and then make sure it matches-up with the amount of work
you need to get done that day. If it doesn’t then you may need to
go back and rearrange your schedule for the entire week.

Once you have your schedule for the day, then you want to get into
the finer details. Plan each hour out. Schedule exactly what you
want to do each and every hour and be sure to schedule in breaks
for yourself. Then repeat this for each day of the week.

Now, in order to build a successful Internet Marketing schedule
it’s very important that you are very honest with yourself and very
careful with writing your schedule. You don’t want to put too much
on your schedule this is more important. But you also don’t want
to put too little work on your schedule (though this is better than
putting too much). So try to make your schedule so you can get
everything done.

If you don’t get everything done that’s on your schedule then you
will mess-up the rest of your schedule and you’ll also get
frustrated and down on yourself for not finishing. So don’t
overestimate what you can get done.

It’s important that you know how to build a successful Internet
Marketing schedule. You want to begin by planning the broad details
and then you want to slowly get more into the specific details. If
you do this then you will get everything done that you need to do
and you will find yourself on that path to Internet Marketing
success.

There have been entire books written on NLP or a similar theory. So
it’s impossible to describe it exactly here. However, in a
nutshell, NLP is all about a person being unable to really know
reality. All a person can know is what they perceive reality to be.
In other words, people process what’s happening around them and
then they form their own opinion of reality. But that opinion is
based on prejudices and biases.

So NLP is all about how no one really knows reality, we only know
how we perceive reality. And since reality is based on perception
then everybody has the ability to change reality in order to suit
them best.

So how then can you use NLP to succeed with Internet Marketing?

Well, you can change your reality to however you want so you can
make sure that you always perceive a reality that is positive for
you. You can make sure you use NLP to succeed with Internet
Marketing by believing that you are doing well and making yourself
build on that belief.

Of course you need to take your positive thinking and your
perception of a positive reality and work to build off of that. You
have to use NLP to help you succeed; you can’t simply expect NLP to
do the work for you because it won’t. But NLP will certainly give
you a great foundation to work with and to spring to success from.

To learn more about NLP you can do research on the Internet or you
can go to your local library or local bookstore and find a book on
it. You can spend just a few hours learning more about it, and you
will discover enough to help you succeed with Internet Marketing.

NLP is a way of thinking and living that stretches back to the
beginning of the 1970s. Though it’s a few decades old, NLP can
still be used to succeed with Internet Marketing. It is a way of
thinking that will help you always point toward success. It’s a
method of living that will help lead you down the road to Internet
Marketing success.

The product doesn’t have to be overly long or give away too much
information but it does have to provide value to the person who
signs up on your list. If not, then they won’t stay on your list
long and they’ll simply dismiss you as someone who can’t do
anything for them.

2. Make the Offer Exclusive

Once you have your product then you need to start marketing it.
When you market it the product you want to make sure that you
stress that it’s free and that it’s only available to people who
sign-up on your list. The free part will make people interested
(everyone loves free stuff) and the part about only getting it for
joining your list will obviously make people sign-up for your list.

3. Drive Traffic to Your Site

The last part of these 3 easy steps for getting people to join your
list is to drive traffic to your site. There are many different
ways to do this. There are many free ways to drive the traffic and
there are ways to pay to get traffic to your site.

Some of the free ways include writing articles, setting up social
networking pages, and blogging. You can also participate in forums
that are related to your site and put the URL of the site in your
signature line. If you decide to write articles then you should
submit the articles to ezinearticles and place your site’s URL in
the signature box.

The main way to pay to get traffic is to advertise with Google
AdWords. You can pay to run an advertisement whenever a certain
keyword phrase is searched for. While this can bring in big-time
traffic, if you don’t really know what you’re doing then you can
lose a lot of money.

Building a list is very important if you want to have success with
Internet Marketing. Three easy steps for getting people to join
your list are to create a product, market the product as only being
available to people who sign-up for your list, and then drive
traffic to your site.
