How to Choose Web Hosting Reseller Software

In web hosting reseller business, the most important decision is choice of web hosting control panel software. Good web hosting software not only saves time or money but also it saves one from lot of frustration. There are several questions which are quite important while considering about the type of reseller web host. They are -What reseller control panel features should one chooses that reduces ones workload? What are the hosting software programs that are integrated with the reseller control panel or work with it? What are the website control panel features that ones client will like? Given below the comparison of 4 types of quality web hosting reseller software programs is given- Alabanza

cPanel

H-Sphere

Plesk

All of the above are the 4 types of reseller control panels that come with control panels for ones clients. They all are well equipped with several numerous features like advanced email management, web statistics, pre-installed scripts, multi-language support etc. All the above mainly work on Linux platforms, while H-Sphere and Plesk also work with Windows. As per cPanel website, a Windows version of cPanel is in development phase.

Other features that set these control panels apart are their degree of automation, the number of features and ease of use for the end user.

Alabanza:

When user becomes an Alabanza reseller, he/she not only gets the facility of a reseller account but he/she even can lease a dedicated server from Alabanza. Alabanza owns the control panel and the server, and one can easily resell directly for Alabanza. If one leases a dedicated Alabanza server, he/she can create his/her own reseller accounts. However, only the user can set up hosting plans; resellers below him/her will be confined only to hosting plans that user creates.

Alabanza offers resellers a very high degree of mechanization with its Domain System Manager (DSM), which can radically reduce overhead and time spent on routine tasks like Account creation, Billing and invoice management, Credit card processing, Domain registration, Email notifications and ordering fraud protection etc.
Even the beginners can sell hosting with this level of mechanization.

For domain name registration, DSM also integrates with bulkregister.com. However it does not integrate easily with other domain registrars.

A very important main feature that resellers use to offer to their client is the Xpress Product Suite, which serves as an important tool for web development and also works well as an email management tools. The Xpress Product Suite includes SiteXpress, which is a website-building program featuring more than 300 templates and even does not require web design skills.

Control panel for resellers and end users- cPanel is well known for its easiness of use and range of features. It consists of collection of more than 50 pre-installed scripts and Fantastico auto installer that assists clients to set up their sites even if they do not possess good web development knowledge.

A basic cPanel reseller account comes with two separate programs for resellers to manage their business:

Web Host Manager (WHM) is used to create accounts and packages, add and suspend sites, modify passwords, view bandwidth usage, park domains, install SSL certificates, and perform other administrative functions.

Now, from the resellers cPanel control panel, a drop-down menu takes the reseller to the control panels for each of the sites on the reseller account, including the resellers site.
WHM Autopilot is an additional optional program, by which one can automate account creation and suspension, email notifications, and other tasks. WHM Autopilot also integrates with common payment gateways and has a helpdesk, an invoice module, and other tools.

H-Sphere:-It is designed for both Linux and Windows platforms. Not only those resellers can even set t up plans for both Linux and Windows and administer sites on different servers from the same control panel. The control panel, which is actually a separate server, also provides administrative access to the integrated helpdesk.

The H-Sphere control panel provides utility in several forms like it enables server automates account configuration, credit card processing, domain registration, and email notifications etc. It also includes a built-in billing module and supports over 20 payment gateways.

From the resellers point of view, H-Sphere is equipped with a higher learning curve in comparison to other control panels because of its plentiful features example , when user is setting up a new plan, the administrator has two pages of features to select from, including setup and monthly pricing for optional services.

For beginners H-Sphere may look very much complicated for their needs. However for skilled users H-Sphere is like a complimentary feature. Main feature of H-Sphere is the ability to have control over separate domains with multi-domain hosting.

H-Sphere usually comes along with the website builder Site Studio, which guides users through a variety of style choices and stores content separately from the layout. Best part is for this no HTML or FTP knowledge is required.

Plesk:

Demand of Plesk is increasing day by day among users and resellers not only because of its quality of providing stability and security but also due to its simple navigation, clean interface, and its professional appearance. Moreover Plesk is available in versions for both Linux and Windows platforms.

With Plesk, all users like Server administrator , Client / reseller , Domain owner , Mail user etc use the same control panel but with different levels of control.

Each level of the control panel enables user control over both that level and the level(s) below it. It provides facility to Email users, to log into their mail user control panel so as to enable them to change their password, add auto responders, and change other personal settings without having access to the domain owner control panel etc.

Plesk handles Spam Assassin not at the domain level but at the mailbox level.
With this facility users are able to categorize email into white list or blacklist for each email address, which allows each email user to have individual settings.

One should have some automation available with his/her account, such as credit card charges, email notification etc. If ones Plesk reseller account is with a web host who offers HSP completely

How to Go Selecting a Cheap Web Hosting Company?

If one is forming a group of web site or a business web site, the main thing is that his/her agenda must to find good, dependable, cheap webhosting for his/her site. In nearly all cases, a free hosting service never works. One will quickly find out that there's a broad range of prices that are nearly affordable, and what are the services that comes with the web-hosting package.

Things to be considered while selecting a web-hosting package

Before taking any decisions, one should know very clearly that what he/she needs. One should also know the purpose of his/her web site and what are the things he/she requires from the server. For example, if one is planning to host a web-based community forum, he/she certainly needs a web host, which gives PHP and an SQL database. On the other hand, if one is planning for running the Active Server Pages, or .NET applications, he/she should need a server running on Windows rather than a UNIX or Linux code base.
Realize the need before searching, which is far easier to select rather than changing afterwards.

One should look for the best plans.

Accompaniments can change a cheap web-hosting package into an expensive one before one knows it completely. Mainly hosting packages permit one to add on a la carte items as one requires them, but it may get expensive afterwards. If the web host one has chosen, charges a setup fee for the shopping cart, which one didn't think he/shed need, it could easily be the same as of several months hosting fees. Thus ,one should decide what he/she will need, then should get more than what one expects he/she'll use.

Cheapest web host, providing 24/7 support.

Ideally, ones web hosting provider must admit any request for assisting his/her client within an hour with a predictable time of completion. Ones host server should provide his/her client with a searchable known factor to guide him/her through most familiar tasks, which one needs to-do, and support desk to help one online at any time.

Despite how cheap a web host cost is, if it's not working, then one is surely wasting his/her money for no use. However, before signing up with a web-hosting provider, one should supervise them for a while, or must ask around on forums about their previous records. A hosting service MUST be reliable. A hosting service which is not able to keep ones site online and available may only lose his/her business and money. So be cautious!!

Determine your Web Hosting Needs

You have a lot of choices in the web hosting market and it can be very confusing to find the best deal that meets your needs. So the first step of web hosting guide is to determine your needs of web hosting.
It can be very tempting to look for plans that offer everything. There are many such deals available, even at a low price, but you will be storing up trouble for yourself. Take a step back and determine exactly what you need, then select a best plan for your web site with the right price from a web hosting company that you are comfortable with. Let's make a good start point for your web site.

1. Reliability and Speed of Access
Not only should the web host be reliable and fast, it should guarantee its uptime (the time when it is functional). Look for a minimum uptime of 99%. In fact, even 99% is actually too low - it really should be 99.5% or higher. Most of the Paid Web Hosting can promise this percentage, and you will not get it from Free Web Hosting site. So if your business is critical, Paid Web Hosting Plan is your only choice.
2. Data Transfer (Bandwidth/Traffic)
Data transfer (sometimes loosely referred to as "traffic" or "bandwidth") is the amount of bytes transferred from your site to visitors when they browse your site. If you go over the limit, then either you will have to be an extra fee, or your website will not be available. The amount of bandwidth you use is obviously related to the amount of traffic (visitors) that you receive.
There are web hosting companies that offer Unlimited bandwidth. This sounds like a good deal. The truth is that this is nothing but a lie and you should steer clear of web hosting companies that offer unlimited bandwidth. Bandwidth is a commodity that costs the web hosting company money - unlimited bandwidth is not only impossible, but would cost an unlimited amount of money. When web hosts offer unlimited bandwidth they are trying to trick you. They know that you will probably not use very much bandwidth. The moment you try to use a lot of bandwidth - then you will find your website shutdown.
For most web sites you will not need much bandwidth. Probably 99% of all websites use less than 2 GB of bandwidth a month. If you intend to have a lot of downloads of software, audio or video, then you may end up using a lot more bandwidth, maybe 50 GB. Sites like mp3.com require an enormous amount of bandwidth, but for the average site - a low level will be enough in almost all cases.
3. Disk Space
For the same reason as bandwidth, watch out also for those "unlimited disk space" schemes. Most sites need less than 5MB of web space, so even if you are provided with a host that tempts you with 200MB or 500MB (or "unlimited space"), be aware that you are unlikely to use that space, so don't let the 500MB space be too big a factor in your consideration when comparing with other web hosts. The hosting company is also aware of that, which is why they feel free to offer you that as a means of enticing you to host there. As a rough gauge, WebHostingClue.com, which had about 80 pages right now, used less than 5MB for its pages and associated files.
You will see that even a lot of pages doesn't really create a big requirement for disk space since the size of each file is small. If your web site doesn't have a lot of picture, video or mp3, Disk Space should be an important factor when you choose a web hosting plan. Many web hosting plans will offer large amounts of disk space. This is fine, it doesn't hurt to have the extra space - but unless you have a huge site - you will more than okay with 20MB.
4. Technical Support
You need to ask yourself questions like Does its technical support function 24 hours a day, 7 days a week? If you have a small website that is not critical (i.e just some personal web site to introduce yourself) then you probably don't need it. Otherwise, you should see this item in your web hosting plan.
5. Email Accounts
If you have your own site, you would probably want to have email addresses at your own domain, like sales@yourdomain.com, etc. How many email accounts will you need? Normally 10 is enough, but if you think you might want more then you can use, especially you build the web site for business usage, and you have many employees in your company, you will need more email accounts, and the good news is: most of the web hosting plan will give you more than 1000 email accounts, and some of them are un-limited. 6. PHP, Perl CGI-BIN access
This requirement depend on how you build your web site, do you use php or perl in your source code? If yes, you need to have this one in the plan otherwise, your web site will not work properly.
7. SSL, MySQL, and Shopping Cart (eCommerce Cart)
If you are planning on doing any sort of business through your website, you might want to look out to see if the host provides these facilities. These facilities normally involve a higher priced package or additional charges. The main thing is to check to see if they are available at all before you commit to the host. You will definitely need SSL if you plan to collect credit card information on your site.
8. Server Type
Is the type of operating system and server important? Whether you think so or not on the theoretical level, there are a few practical reasons for looking out for the type of server.
If you have a small website, then it is unlikely that you will need to select a particular type of server for your website.
Windows 2000 server web hosting tends to be a little bit more expensive than Linux. If you need to run a Microsoft SQL server database, or use Microsoft Active Server pages then you should choose Windows2000.
If you have no clue what these things even are - then you don't need Windows2000 - you will almost certainly be fine with any type of server and my preference is to sign up for accounts using the often cheaper, more stable and feature-laden Unix systems running the Apache server.
9. Subdomains, or Multiple Domain Support
For those who are thinking of multiple domains or subdomains hosted in your account, you should look to see if they provide this. If you have many web sites, and most of them don't use a lot of space and bandwidth, then, host all your domain in a web hosting plan is a great choice for you and will save a lot of money for you. Many company provide this kinds of plan, such as: StartLogic, IXWebHosting, HostMonster, and BlueHost, etc; They can host 6-10 web site in one web hosting plan.
10. Price
Price is always a factor, you should realize that you often get what you pay for, although it's not necessarily true that the most expensive hosts are the best. A stable, 24*7 support server is more important than money.
Most web hosts allow you to select an annual or 2 years payment plan that gives you a cheaper rate than if you were to pay monthly. You might be worried about if you aren't satisfied with the plan you purchase, what can you do. You need to check that whether the company provide the money back period so that you can request a refund if you are not satisfied. Or the other choice is to sign a plan provided by a reputed web hosting company. Below are some company will provide money back guarantee (trial days): StartLogic, and IXWebHosting, etc.
11. Free Domain Name
You need to check whether a free domain name is included in the plan. In most of the plan with price more than $3 monthly, a free domain will be included. But if not, you need to apply for domain name by yourself and then direct it to the service you just order. To register a domain name, please refer to Register Domain
12. International
If you don't stay in the USA, you have the option of hosting your site with some local provider. The advantage here is the ease of dealing with them (they are after all easily accessible by phone call or a visit), your familiarity with the local laws and easy recourse to those laws should it be necessary. It should be your choice if your target audience is local (eg a local fast food delivery service). On the other hand, hosting it in USA has the advantage of faster access for what is probably the largest number of your overseas visitors (particularly if you have an English-speaking audience). You also have a large number of hosting companies to choose from, and as a result, cheaper prices too.
13. Else
There are also some specific requirement related to what web site you want to build and your skill levels. Considering web hosting company provide more than just hosting, you might want they can provide some web design tool if you don't know HTML well and also want to build it by yourself. Or you want to create a blog, photo galleries or Forum in your web site, if all those are included in the web hosting package, it would be easy for you to build the site. Below are some addition service you might find in web hosting package:
Blog
Photo Galleries
Forum
Web Design Tools
Web Site Market Tools
etc.
Although, we have listed a lot of factor above, you need to think about what's the most important factor to you, try to rank all the factor above, and give them a value. If you care about the support and reliability and with a lot of budget, you should find some company can provide quick support and 99.99% uptime. If you only have limited budget, you might need to lower your expectation on bandwidth or multiple domain host, etc. There is always a trade-off between price, reliability and features that you're willing to live with. There's no way for you to afford to put all your sites on your "ideal" web hosts. For sites that are not so critical, you can pay a cheaper price at the cost of a little more "down" time and inconvenience than your more important sites.

How to make Money from Home with Network Marketing

In affiliate network marketing, two marketing strategies are combined to achieve a more profitable and effective result.

These two marketing strategies are affiliate marketing and network marketing.

If you are thinking about starting your own online business and need tips for working from home, affiliate network marketing might be the thing for you.

Read on to get a more detailed idea on what affiliate networking marketing is.

What Is Network Marketing?

In network marketing or MLM, (Multi-level-marketing) many independent distributors who connected in a certain network distribute certain products, which they bought before for a lower price from the end selling company.

The difference between the price for which they bought the product and the price for which they sell it to consumers is their own earnings. The company, which sells their products to independent distributors, also pays them a commission for getting more people to become distributors. Some distributors who were attracted by original distributors called first level distributors.

First level distributors pay a certain commission of their sales to the original distributor. Theoretically, these levels are endless in network marketing, so there can be fourth-level distributors and so on. The original distributors will still earn money from the sales of these fourth-level distributors.

Network marketing is already very successful for online sales but affiliate network marketing is even more promising in terms of profit and growth.

What Is Affiliate Marketing?

In affiliate marketing, products distributed by independent affiliates refer to a product, or sell it directly from their website. The company pays affiliates a commission each time a sale is closed through the affiliate's site.

What Is Affiliate Network Marketing?

By combining network marketing with affiliate marketing, affiliate network marketing combines two strong marketing approaches and shows a greater result than both marketing strategies used independently.

In affiliate marketing, the affiliates often do not make significant profit from broadening and strengthening the network of affiliates who advertise for the same or for similar products.

However, in affiliate network marketing, affiliates can earn a great deal more by introducing new affiliates to the affiliate program and getting commissions each time these new affiliates sell the product. When these new affiliates bring new distributors to the network, the original affiliates will earn from those as well.

If you are planning to become an affiliate, then affiliate network marketing may be the right way for you to make a living. Business analysts see a great future for this method of earning money online and by working from home.

Affiliate Network Marketing Business: Duplicating Your Business Model

Duplication involves copying or reproducing your existing business model /system into other markets or into horizontal product lines within the same market. Once you have established yourself successfully with your current business(and put the business on autopilot), you can hunt down new opportunities and repeat the same steps.

1) Research and target a new market or find horizontal product lines you can expand
into within your existing market.
2) Create an offer or solution targeted to the market.
3) Drive market traffic to your offer.
4) Build a backend for additional revenue. While many people ‘s systems end at step 4 this should be the case.

Duplication allows you to explode your overall profits by creating multiple streams of income . Having more than one income stream is crucial for a variety of reasons. The first important one is that, there may come a time that you have squeezed as much as you can from your first bu siness, while you still need to increase your income. Secondly, your niche market may over time become over-saturated with competition. Duplication allows you to double or increase your income over and over again in as many markets as you like.

In order to successfully duplicate your affiliate marketing business, a few questions are pertinent to ask oneself:

a) Do I want to go into a closely related market or a radically new one?

b) What market can I go into that might be even more profitable?

c) Do I want to sell the same type of product or do I want to sell something else?

d) What were some of the obstacles I encountered in my first business that I would like to eliminate this time around?

e) What have I learned so far that will help me create my next business even faster and do it even better?

f) How much of my existing profits can I reinvest into my new business?

These questions will help you make a Strategic decision about when, where, how and what to duplicate.

Duplication of your business is what will put your profits into overdrive. It is more like buying up real estate, where you acquire a property and rent it for a steady stream of income. In order to build on that income, you simply acquire more property and repeat the process. That process should cover the first four components of your affiliate marketing business process : Find a market---Create an offer--- Drive traffic to the offer--- Present backend offers. By creating multiple streams of income duplication will become one of the major factors in your ability to create wealth.

Affiliate Network Marketing Programs - Which Is The Best? Wealthy Affiliate?

Affiliate marketing is helping many tens of thousands of internet novices make from hundreds of dollars to thousands of dollars every day. Whilst the concept is very simple, today, with so many websites offering affiliate marketing systems to make money online, I want to shed some light and expose some myths on what is and what is not possibly. Ultimately, I want to recommend to you the very best program to join if you are serious about making money as an online affiliate.

Fourthly, if you follow the wrong affiliate marketing system then you will probably loose money. If you sign up with the correct program then you are very likely to succeed.

It takes alot of time, enery on money to find out what the best systems are on the internet and which one works the best for you and out performs all the others. Believe me, over the past two years I have tried and tested many different money making systems, programs, websites and networks. Many of these just plain and simply don't work, some were too complicated and some were just 'not for me'.

Over the past few months I have discovered that yes it is easily possible to make a good income using affiliate marketing. Read on to find out how.

The most important step to being successful in affiliate marketing is having the right system and tools.

How to Turn your Annual Income Into Monthly Income Fast With Affiliate Network Marketing

The Law of Attraction states that you can have, be, and do whatever you want in life as soon as you master the science of getting rich. As we all live within one connected Universal Energy Field, we can achieve anything we want by aligning ourselves in harmony with Infinite Power.

Here's how.

4 Action Steps You Must Take to Achieve Financial Success

1. Activate Your Creative Mind, not Competitive Mind:

We typically think competitively. We fill our minds with ideas such as "How can I do better than my competitors?" Or we think, "How can I help my company increase its market share?"

This scarcity mentality manifests to a zero-sum game. One gains, the other loses.

To come into harmony with the Universe, you need to become a Creator, not a Competitor. When creators advance, everyone also advances.

2. Knock Down All Hurdles to Building Your Own Business by Selling Large Companies Products on the Internet:

Before the Internet, a traditional retail business demanded:
Ample capital and cash flow
An excellent business plan
Experienced management team members
Reliable suppliers
Efficient inventory and operations management systems
Store rentals
Hiring and training of sales assistants

At the end of the month, you would pray your revenues would be higher than your operating costs. The problem for the majority of us is that we lack the necessary startup capital, cash flow, management experience, and connections to start our own business.
Now, thanks to the Internet you can sell large companies' products on the Internet and eliminate all obstacles. And, these larger companies benefit by cutting their overhead costs.

That's exactly why many large companies, such as Amazon and Dell are looking to increase their sales force by welcoming affiliates just like you to sell their products online. You are awarded commissions in return.

This way, you don't have to incur:
Manufacturing costs
Inventory costs
Store Rental costs
Shipping costs
Staffing costs

3. Choose Well-Established Companies that Offer High-Commission Plans:

While you may like to sell products affiliated with renowned companies such as Amazon and Dell, you may not be very attracted to their low single-digit percentage commission plan. So choose wisely! You don't want to pick a saturated market.

I recommend an affiliate program like Bob Proctor and Jack Canfields' "The Science of Getting Rich" seminar program, where you can get 25% commission fees equaling US$500 per sale!

4. Choose a Lifetime or 2-Tier Affiliate Compensation Package:

Not only do you want to choose a high-commission affiliate program to promote its products and services, but you also want to choose one that offers continual residual income or a 2-tier affiliate compensation plan. This is the most important step as one-time run-offs are ok, but you cannot become insanely rich this way.

For illustrative purpose, let's use the "Science of Getting Rich (SGR)" Seminar Affiliate Program to show you how a 2-tier affiliate program works:

You will earn US$500 for anyone who purchases the SGR program through your website. When someone buys from you, they also have the option of becoming an Affiliate Member. They are called your Tier 1 Affiliates. When someone purchases through your Tier 1 Affiliate, you will receive an additional US$250. They are called your Tier 2 affiliates.

With the above compensation plan, you can earn one million dollars if you sell, the SGR program for example to only 5 Affiliates each month for a year, and each of these 5 Affiliates sell to 6 other Affiliates (Tier 2) each month for a year.

The beauty of these affiliate type programs is that you are creating steady income even if you decide to stop selling the product to anyone. Your 1st Tier Affiliates will continue to generate recurring income for you.

By leveraging the power of your affiliate network, you will turn your monthly income into annual income.

Explode Your Income Through Affiliate Network Marketing

I have a different definition of affiliate marketing scams then most do. I look at the 95% of the affiliate marketing companies as being totally deceptive which is leading to a 96% failure rate online.

With that said both affiliate and network marketing are awesome ways to generate multiple streams of income if your business is set up correctly.

Many companies will promote their tools as the best way to build your business. They offer to you sales pages, capture pages, autoresponders and so much more, sounds great right.

The fact is that 95% of those companies are all building their list, their database and their business not yours, that to me defines affiliate marketing scams, not to mention very deceptive. Sure they give you the bread crumbs in the form of a commission check but wealth online is built through your list and your blog.

Remember, once your business is dressed for success you can add any affiliate or network marketing company to your arsenal, but you won't be under their control.

Yes you need a blog. If you don't have one there are many videos out there that show you how to build one within two hours. The main key to building true wealth online is to build your list by having thousands of people per day coming to your blog, it's not that difficult.

The way you have your marketing funnel set up will dictate your success or failure. There are a few affiliate companies out there that place all the tools into your hands including a marketing funnel where you can build your list.

Niche domination will not only generate thousands of people to your blog for free, but you can see tremendous results in less than 30 days. Google is the largest search engine in the world because of the type of algorithms they have.

Simply put they give the searcher the content they are looking for usually on the first try. If Google can find a blog that offers more content that is relevant to the search, they will rank that blog on page one regardless of the age or page rank of that blog.

With niche domination what you are doing is creating at least three or four blog post with different keywords within the same niche. You now create all three post and interlink them with something called an anchor tag.

Let's say you are creating a blog post with the keyword article marketing tips, and you have two other blog post you are going to create with the keywords article marketing strategies and article marketing income. Within each of your post you will place the other two keywords within a sentence that links to those blog post.

Google now comes in and follows your links and instead of getting credit for just the content on that post you will now triple your word count, relevancy and keywords.

Not only will you get ranked on page one with at least two of those keywords, but Google will give you hundreds of other keywords within that niche where they will rank you highly because of the relevancy.

The results are total niche domination, tons of traffic, leads and income if you have your marketing funnel set up correctly.

If your true desire is to earn replacement type income you need to have the following within your business.

A Daily blueprint of very specific strategies that you should implement

A professional marketing funnel

A free gift to offer your prospects

Professional autoresponders

Capture pages

A very specific syndication strategy for your blog post that will get your blog in front of hundreds and thousands of people and websites

An Outline Of The Key Elements Of A Successful Affiliate Network Marketing System

Internet Marketing business is any business that offers products or services on the internet. The internet becomes a marketing medium. Whether you are an affiliate marketer, a product owner, or both, there are five core components that underlie every successful Internet marketing business, and one must master them above all else if you want to make any headway on the internet. These five components are as follows:-

1) Your Market

2) Your Offer

3) Targeted Traffic

4) Your Backend

5) System Duplication

Every business serves a target market. Your niche is the bedrock of your prospective customers. If you don't target a strong market from the beginning, you could do everything else right in your internet marketing business and still fail. Every market represents a niche, but not every niche represents a viable and profitable market. A niche Business consists of a business idea that is centered around a highly targeted market group.

Hav ing established your niche market, the next key component of you Internet Marketing business is your Offer. Majority of merchants regard their products to be the same with their offer.However it is very important to note that people do not buy products--they buy Solutions. Your focus should therefore shift away from the details and features of your products to the problems it can solve. In all niche markets , one must present his products or services as the only solution and market it as such.

The other element for a sound network marketing business is Market specific traffic. Driving traffic to your website is much like luring potential customers into a brick-and-mortar storefront. A visitor is considered targeted when he can be identified as a member of your target market. In order to generate and direct targeted traffic from your market to your website, then, you must be able to locate sources of market-specific traffic. Adequate analysis of the market presents the affiliate or merchant with where to focus on and where.

The fourth key component of a successful internet marketing business is your Back-end Offers. The backend refers to offers you make as follow-ups after an initial sale, while the front-end refers to the lead offer or lead product. While your lead offer gets your customer through the door,the bulk of your income is going to be generated by backend offers. This is based on the assumption that already existing customers will more readily buy again if presented with another similar offer. If you want to make a real income from you internet marketing business,you must followup with your existing customers. Once someone has purchased a product through you,they are likely to purchase another and another if you follow up with relevant offers.

The last key element of a successful Internet marketing business is your System Duplication. This entails copying your current business system into other niche markets or expan ding to other product lines within the same niche sector. After successful establishment and implementation of you business model,one can then look up for new opportunities and duplicate the process:- Find Market---Create An Offer--Drive Traffic To The Offer---Present Backend. Duplication allows you to explode your overall profits by creating multiple streams of income.

The foregoing gives a snapshot of the five components of a successful Internet marketing business,whether one wants to be an affiliate marketer, a product owner, or both.

Everything You Need to Know - Affiliate network marketing

Truly one of the most successful and cost-effective marketing strategies nowadays is affiliate network marketing. It promises unlimited income and has. In fact, brought fortunes to a number of people already. It indeed wonderfully made its name into the business world and some companies are already taking a look at this business strategy in order to bring more cash into their vaults. This is a good time to get involved in this business as it continues to grow and bring more people in it.

What is different with this type of business? You may hear this as a clich but this business truly relies on people to be successful. It does not put its capital on colorful ads or gigantic posters and tarpaulins. It builds it capital on people and let the people do the selling.

The basic principle is that the distributor, or the one who does the marketing and selling, goes to the end consumer and sells the product directly. The end result is a higher poten tial sale due to human interaction. Besides, the first people that the distributors would go to would be their peers. Their peers, if gets interested with what they are selling, then gets involved with the entire cycle and spreads the word around with their other sets of peers. Word of mouth after all is the best marketing strategy and this is where affiliate network marketing thrives. It capitalizes on human potential and attacks the weakness of emotional affiliations.

Distributors actually start the entire cycle. Once they become established and successful, they start recruiting people who can help them out. Once they have these downlines with them, then the success of the mult-level marketing starts. These distributors order in bulk to feed down their downlines to sell. These distributors get the product in wholesale prices. The downlines get the products from these distributors for a discounted price and the end consumers buy them at regular prices. So, the whole chain gets their own share. The product goes down the chain and a percentage is earned each time it goes down. This is the basic principle and this is how the business runs and works.

Though, compensation may still vary from one company to another. Some would stick with unilevel plans where the agent earns from commissions based on a specified number of sales. There is also a matrix plan where the downlines would actually come into the picture and different levels of commission come into play. A more controlled matrix plan is called a binary plan wherein only two frontline distributors are allowed to come into play instead of an unlimited number. If the company cannot choose from the available compensation plans, then they just mix and match and this is oftentimes referred to as hybrid plans.

The products you can sell in this type of marketing vary from food and beverage to cosmetics and health products. Some even network herbal products. Whatever the product is, a company can only be successful if they employ the right compensation plan with the right set of people. This is a people business and a successful company in the field of networking is oiled by hardworking people who get their motivation from the money they are earning.

Affiliate Network Marketing Business: Product selection And Offer Targeting

The process of Product selection and Offer targeting forms one of the critical pillars of Affiliate Network Marketing System.Potential customers are hungry for solutions and answers to their problems and needs. They are prepared to pay a price to obtain such solutions and one must position his products as the required answer to their problems whatever the market is.
A strong offer in Affiliate Network Marketing consists of more than just the primary solution. It encompasses unforseable benefits and targets on presenting the solution as the only available one at the right price and time. Limiting your offer to telling people what your product is and how much it costs is far less effective than telling them the tangible and intangible benefits. Such benefits include:-

-- The ease of implementing the solution
-- The satisfaction they feel when they have the solution.
-- How easy and inexpensive your solution is compared to the merchant trying to solve his problem alone.
-- How safety, Confidence and satisfaction are built into the solution.
--How the acquisition of this solution alleviates current and future problems.

Achievement in internet affiliate marketing hinges on obtaining a product in great demand by the prospective customers. This can either be built up or purchased from the wider market. However when offering affiliate products as solutions,it is important that the product is a winner for you and your customer at once. Such mega products share some common qualities:-

-- They pay out high commission percentages(50 Percent and above)
-- They have a proven conversion rate
-- They are hot, timely or in demand all year- round.
-- They are backed by a merchant affiliate program that provides solid support to affiliates.

Three types of products are recommended in affiliate Network Marketing; a low-ticket item, one higher-ticket item and at least one product that earns you residu al income. The first product is the lead product that you promote from your opt-in page and first email series . The second product is your backend product that you promote to your list of existing subscribers or customers. This is usually higher priced than the lead product and payout a higher percentage commission. The third product should be a residual income product that will earn you a monthly recurring commission -such as subscription based services or membership sites.

Having determined the product and the niche market earlier identified , the next step in the affiliate marketing system is to make your offer. Inorder to capture leads and convert them into customers, one needs to create and present your front end offer from your own website. The website is the launch pad from which you display your offer . Your website is the first link in the chain of your sales system. The website presents your potential customers with the sales page for your product or an opt- in list or squeeze page designed to collect your customers information -name and email address-so that they are subscribed to your opt-in list. A squeeze or landing page increases the effectiveness of the offer it presents . The determinants of an effective squeeze page include .

-A compelling headline---Your headline must grab and hold the visitors attention and raise his interest enough to keep him reading the rest of your page.
-A clear offer and Call to Action --Conversions are improved when people understand what they are getting and are told explicitly what they need to do to get it.
-An option bait such as a bonus , freebies or a time- sensitive offer- Bonuses, and freebies are baits that compel people to take action while time sensitive offer underlines the urgency of taking action.
-Trust building elements--Visitors are more likely to opt in when you explain your privacy policies to them .Let them know your list is opt-in only and you do not spa m or sell their information to a third party.

All these considerations lead to provision of a compelling offer which results in higher opt ins that lead to higher conversions and eventually more product sales. This is the ultimate success of Affiliate network Marketing System.

Tricks To Buying Online Office Supplies The Inside Scope To Buying The Best File Folders

I hear from people constantly about how confusing it is shopping for office supplies online. There are so many office products and choices today. The category people moan about the most is Filing Supplies. There are literally thousands of alternatives to chose from, each with different colors, uses, sizes, brands and tab designs. Office supplies are my forte, so read on to learn the secret to shopping for filing supplies.

To begin, ask yourself what you are using your filing supply for. Maybe you just need standard folders to hold contents you keep in your office desk drawer, or take with you on sales calls. Standard file folders are probably the answer for you. Or, maybe you have tons of file folders already, but need a way to organize these folders in a filing cabinet. Then hanging folders are the ticket. These are folders with metal tabs on the side that slide along the rails of file cabinets, and can hold many more file folders together.

Are you organizing a lot of documents that require a folder with multiple sections or a big expansion? Then classification folders, or possibly box bottom folders are right for you. Classification folders have everything you need. Metal fasteners for securing your documents, different expansions from 1 to 3 inches, and they also come with different sections inside the folder, from 2 up to 6 sections. Box bottom folders are the big brother of hanging folders, and expand to 3\" to hold more contents than standard hanging folders.

Let\'s look at a fun choice next - color. Today most online office products companies have tons of color choices outside of standard green or manila folders. Purple, maroon, teal, lavender and other fashion colors are available. A helpful tip; always use color coding for your filing. That way you can simply look at the color of the folder in your file cabinet, or on your desk, and know right away what project or department that folder is for. Now let\'s look at size, an d there are basically two choices. Letter size, or 8-1/2\" x 11\" is the standard size used in most copiers and printers today, and is the most popular size. Legal size, or 8-1/2\" x 14\" is used by lawyers, realtors and bankers - those who work with a lot of legal documents.

The position of the tab is a critical feature to filing supplies. Tabs are also referred to as the \"cut\" of a folder, which refers to how many different tab positions there are in a box of folders. For example, the most popular tab design for hanging folders is called a 1/5 cut meaning there are 5 different positions, moving from left to right on a folder, that you can place a hanging folder tab on to label the contents that are in that folder. The most popular standard file folder cut position is 1/3 cut, meaning the box contains folders with a tab in the middle, one on the left and one on the right. There are many other position choices, just not as popular, so make sure and find the one right for your needs.

An important thing to understand about \"cuts\" or tab styles; there are two standard tab styles to chose from. The medical profession typically has substantial filing needs to keep track of customer records. They use medical filing systems with folders that are end tab. This means the tab is on the short side of the folder, on the \"end\", so you can apply an alphanumeric label on the end for organization. Most people prefer the top tab folder style which has tabs on the long side of your folder, like standard file folders in any office. In general hanging folders and file folders are normally top tab. Classification folders are many times preferred using the end tab, and Smead or Pendaflex brands are top selling.

As to the best brands, many standard folders are basically the same, and most people look to the best value. Brands like Universal tend to be popular and very competitively priced. If quality is important, than brands like Smead, Esselte Pendaflex and Globe Weis are long standing brands known for solid quality.

Let\'s not forget about the environment and recycled content in our file folders. Anytime I\'m buying a paper based office product I consider my \"green\" options before buying. The good news is, the filing supply industry has been on the recycled band wagon a long time. Most all standard file folders and hanging folders are made with a minimum of 10% post consumer waste recycled material, and most are 30%! Items not marketed as \"green\" are actually already doing what is right for the environment. There are also 100% recycled filing supplies available that are marketed as great green solutions. Most quality online office supplies companies have special sections of their websites for green/recycled products, so search them out.

So remember next time you are confused over the right filing supply for your needs - define the function, size, color, cut and tab position - and then it\'s simply a matter of selecting the brand and price that is right for you. As to selecting the right retailer for you, I recommend independent online office supply companies versus the big box chains. Most importantly, I support companies that give back to the community and do good wor k. There are new companies today using a business model of conscious capitalism, and I always support companies who follow this vision, not big corporate retailers.

Online Office Equipment: No Salesman Necessary!

These days although we all still need to purchase or lease office equipment if we are running an office, even from home, there is no necessity to actually visit a store to acquire everything we need in the way of office equipment. You might agree that the idea of not being bothered by a salesman when we are trying lo look around the merchandise is a welcomed scenario and when you are considering online office equipment, no salesman is required

Of course what it does mean is that you need to know a little more about the items you are wanting to purchase. Even though most online office equipment suppliers will offer an exchange system whereby you can change products if one doesn't suit, this is a timely and an inconvenient process. You want to be as sure as possible that you are getting the products you need, so it is a great idea to research as much as possible first.

An online office equipment supplier will usually offer free delivery when you place your order, but this will depend upon your location and the items you have ordered. Some suppliers will even ship globally so it won't matter where you are, you can engage in a transaction that will secure your desired equipment. Reputable suppliers will offer you the opportunity to enter into service agreements for products that they manufacture directly, and for smaller third party items, you will still enjoy the benefits of the OEM warranty. This "OEM" stands for "Original Equipment Manufacturer" and there will be specific details about this warranty inside your package when it arrives. Make sure to ask any questions of the online office equipment supplier, including details about the warranty cover.

The best part of using an online office equipment provider, aside from the fact that you will not be hassled by a salesperson, is the fact that with global and free shipping, standard manufacturer's warranties, and genuine product, you are quite free to surf the internet to compare prices between countries. You can take advantage of strong currency markets to get a bargain offshore, and have it shipped to your location. As an example of this you may be looking for a desktop photocopier which retails for $499 in your country. By sourcing the best deal online, you may well find the very same photocopier available from another country for one quarter of that price. Based on currency conversions, and adding shipping, you could still save half of the asking price, no salesman necessary!

Remember that when you are dealing with a store and salespeople, the salespeople are working to two agendas. They have the interests of the company in mind, and they have their respective commission in mind as well. This means that right from the outset; salespeople have an agenda to sell you the product that is best for the company and best for their back pocket, not necessarily the product that is best for you. Compared with this using an online office equipment supplier, there is usually no obvious agenda, except to get you to spend your money with them as opposed to a competitor.

Which Canon EOS Lens Is Best For A Beginner - 3 Hints For Choosing A Good All Purpose Lens

What do you believe is your beginning consideration as a new digital SLR owner? It should be which lens you want as an all-purpose lens. Believe me, there are plenty of folks who have agonized over this decision.

There are many really superior lenses to consider as walk around lenses. It's kind of like buying a compact point and shoot camera, though. What zoom range are you looking for?

For the purpose of this article, it shall be assumed that you are searching for a zoom lens rather than one with a fixed focal length. Most, though not all, new owners opt for the Canon "kit lens" as their first lens. While choosing a kit lens may make sense to you now, you will likely not be happy with the lens down the road. You either think you will just wait and purchase a better lens later, or you don't even think about a different lens.

That is not my view. You should get the very best glass(lens) that money can buy rather than spending money on an inf erior kit lens. After all, you will want to upgrade fairly soon, anyway, so why not get more bang for your buck right up front.

There are several things to consider about the lens you are planning to buy.

First consideration is focal length. In general, a focal length of about 18-24mm on the short end and 55-75mm on the long end will give you a very useful range. Keep in mind that these numbers are not critical. There are also some excellent quality lenses that have about 105mm at the long end.

Canon, Sigma, and Tamron have recently released some pretty good lenses in the super-zoom category. These have focal lengths of 18mm at the short end and 200-270mm on the long end. They have gotten favorable reviews, however just keep in mind that the image quality will not be as good as those lenses with less zoom capability.

Second consideration is aperture. The best lenses will have a constant aperture of f/2.8 across all focal lengths. Y ou can almost always save money by getting a lens with a variable aperture, such as f/3.5-5.6, but they will not give you the same performance in all situations, especially when lighting is a challenge.

The final thing to scrutinize when buying your first lens is price. For some, this may be the first thing to consider, but with DSLR photography, it really needs to follow the other two factors. Rather than getting the cheapest lens on the market just to have one, it would be far better in the long run to save enough money to start with a good lens. Don't make the same mistake that so many who have gone before you. If good image quality is something you take seriously, you will not be satisfied with a poorly constructed lens. It is very frustrating to try to take great pictures with poor quality lenses.
Now, you can save money by using Canon EOS lenses from third party manufacturers. Some third party lenses are top-notch and less costly than a Canon lens that is identical in capabilities.

A word of warning. Camera forums can be very informative, and they are full of well-meaning photographers, but they can also be very confusing. This is because the folks in those forums are very passionate about their opinions. They can mislead you by bashing certain cameras and products. While this is not always the case, if it happens to you, it could cloud your thinking and mess up your research.

User opinions on the Canon USE camera manufacturer site are much more helpful. Then there are other sites that will guide you as well. These are FredMiranda.com and online stores like Amazon.What do you believe is your beginning consideration as a new digital SLR owner? It should be which lens you want as a all-purpose lens.
