A New Look For AdsOnQ

By, Copyright 2011







Recently, I got to thinking about web site design. It's a thing I do on a yearly basis; a revamping of my sites. I decided that AdsOnQ needed a new do, so-to-speak, and the newest pages are live right now!



Not only is the site a bit different, but the pricing for services is too! I have marked down the cost of services to help marketers to better be able to afford the promotion of their businesses and products. Times are tough. You do have to spend money to make money, but there is no reason that you should go broke first. Take advantage of the reduced menu prices!

Back to the design thing...


I am finally happy with the look of TLC Promotions and the TriiZine Ezine, so I decided to incorporate that design into AdsOnQ. They are all my babies, after all, so they should look related, don't you think? I'd like to know what you think. Please tell me.

Interview With The Author Trina L.C. Sonnenberg



Trina L.C. Sonnenberg



"Fear holds people back and I do not wish to be restrained!" - Trina L.C. Sonnenberg.



We had the greatest pleasure to interview Trina L.C. Sonnenberg, the author of her memoir: Forever and Always... A True Love Story. Quite interestingly Trina shares the secret of her success as an entrepreneur giving much stress on RSS syndication as the most influential form of advertising.

Here goes our today's interview.




Couponboa: What is your name?


Trina L.C. Sonnenberg


CB:: Where are your from?


TLCS: Originally from Madison, Wisconsin; currently from Nucla, Colorado. I have lived in Colorado for 13 years now.



CB:: Tell us something about your business, your goals and key achievements.


TLCS: I started writing promotional copy for syndication through my web site, AdsOnQ, in 2004, after successfully moving my ezine to an rss feed, I realized that the nature of rss was perfect for advertising. I have been able to write copy that gets indexed within the first few pages of Google, based on keywords, for most of my clients. In fact, I have held a page one position for AdsOnQ through the use of the key phrase, online advertising solution, for the last six years. By writing content based on a clients' business, I can get listed on the first pages for keywords, and thus drive traffic of interested people, to their web sites. People want information and I give them that. From there, I began writing books. I have published two books since 2007.



The first is a collection of poetry 'My Journey' a Lifetime of Verse, and photographs and the second is my memoir, 'Forever and Always... A True Love Story'.



CB:: How did the idea for this business come about?


TLCS: It all began with the moving of my popular ezine from email distribution to rss. I got tired of the hassle of all of the email rules and bouncing and discovered a better way to make sure my readers get what they want to read without depending upon ISP and other email regulators to deliver my messages. Most of my readers were using AOL at the time; therefore, they were not getting the information they signed up to receive. When my ezine succeeded through rss, I realized that rss could mean a great deal to advertisers in the way of Google indexing and content management. Search engine spiders like content not five line ads.



CB:: What is the startup story behind your business? When did it start?


TLCS: In 2003 I was introduced to Quikonnex, my content management service and rss feed provider. Through collaboration with other feed publishers, we came up with the idea of leasing out our services to business people looking for a way to get indexed on the major search engines. By 2004, AdsOnQ was created and I am the last remaining member of the original think tanking group that gave birth to the idea. I ran with it. The others lost interest in the idea, but I have been successful with it.



CB:: How many hours do you work a day on average?


TLCS: I am usually at my desk for 6-8 hours each day, depending upon what else needs my attention. It depends upon how many clients I am working for at any given time.



CB:: What's your definition of success, and do you believe you've achieved it yet?


TLCS: I believe that to be successful one must be engaged in activities that they love, and be surrounded by people whom they love. So, I feel extremely successful; I have met each challenge I've faced, head on; I do what I love and love those I live my life with.



CB:: What motivates you?


TLCS: Doing what I love (writing) motivates me. Work is not work when you love what you do. As a child I dreamed of being a writer, and I have succeeded in that goal, and now I just keep on going in that direction. Helping others who need motivation and safety also motivates me. I am a survivor of many unpleasant things and I hope that my experiences will help others overcome the challenges they face.



CB:: What is your greatest fear, and how do you manage fear?


TLCS: I have nothing to fear, so I don't spend any time on it. I look to the positive side of every situation, and run with that. Fear holds people back and I do not wish to be restrained.



CB:: If you had the chance to start your career over again, what would you do differently?


TLCS: I would go to college.



And that's how Trina concluded. We are extremely thankful to her for spending time for our readers and we wish her every success.

The Article Marketing Craze

By Trina L.C. Sonnenberg , Copyright 2007






Whether you have a product or service to sell, no matter how great it is, people generally don't respond to hype, especially in the form of the written word. Which makes it all the harder for Internet marketers, being that the written word is the most often used form of online advertising.



The use of video and other images are not as effective as many would have you believe either. Most of these types of presentations are based in hype as well. The online advertising solution that overcomes the hype hurdle is, of course, article marketing.



What makes article marketing so effective? The reasons are many... Let's look at a few of them.



First, people these days are looking for solutions to problems they face or needs they want met. They are also very hard pressed to part with their cash, in order to try something new. What people want is information. Article marketing gives it to them. Most people want information so that they can make an educated decision before spending money on anything. They don't want to be pitched.



Second the whole concept of article marketing targets your audience and provides that audience with the information they seek. After they've been impressed by the information they've read, they click through to your web site and your site should close the sale.



Targeting your audience is a major step in increasing sales. Why waste time marketing to a million people who are looking for something you do not have to offer them? Article marketing targets your audience in a way that no other online advertising medium can.

Affordable Article Marketing Services

By,Trina L.C. Sonnenberg Copyright 2010







Back in 2004, when I started AdsOnQ, I was writing for entrepreneurs for a good price. I offered my writing and syndication services for a fair price and was paid well for my talent and skill. Since the economic disaster of the last two years, my services are not in as high a demand as they once were. The fact of the matter is that even though my services are still valuable, people just don't have the money to utilize them.



Through my writing and syndiction of promotional materials, I have helped many people achieve page one status on Google for their chosen keywords, driving more traffic to their web sites. That is what I do... get people more traffic, more visability. In fact, AdsOnQ has maintained a page one placement on Google for the key phrase, "online advertising solution" since 2004. That is an incredibly long run on page one.



Since cost of services and products are such a major concern for people marketing online, I have decided to reduce rates on AdsOnQ, to further help entrepreneurs get the word out without costing them an arm and a leg. It isn't that the service I provide has changed, clients will still get the attention they require and have always received, it is just a matter of economics. I have reduced prices to make my article marketing services more affordable to the struggling online marketer.



Rates for AdsOnQ services have been reduced by as much as 75%. Now is the time to start an article marketing campaign. It is more affordable than ever!

The Survey Says...



Trina L.C. Sonnenberg


Have you ever wondered how people get your phone number to call you about home business opportunities? Have you ever wondered why the phone rings constantly with someone pitching you on the newest most guaranteed business opportunity?

Lead capture pages.

Recently, I received in the mail (snail mail) a magazine put out by Home Business Connections and I leafed through it. It didn't take me long to put it aside, because of the 50 pages it contained, only 16 of them were devoted to articles, and the majority of those articles were sales pitches for a business opportunity, or a testimonial of some sort for a business opportunity. The rest of the pages were devoted to advertising.



Ordinarily, that wouldn't surprise me, but what did knock me for a loop was the magazine's cover price. To buy a copy, the cover price listed was $5.95 U.S.. Why on earth would someone pay that kind of money to read advertisements? This publication must be making money hand over fist, if they are making money on 34 pages of advertising and selling those pages for six bucks a pop to the reader.



On top of that, most of the ads didn't have much, if anything to say about the business opportunities themselves except that you can make a lot of money if you sign up at this web site or that one, or call this phone number. I looked at some of these web sites, and they don't typically tell you anything either. You have to surrender your contact information to get any information about the opportunity. The icing on the cake is that none of these information request forms promise not to sell your information. BINGO! That is why your phone rings off the hook at dinner time.



If you enter your contact information, your entry is sold to the highest bidder and your phone begins to ring. That is how leads are generated. Are you one who buys leads from brokers to further your business opportunity? Well, this is one way those leads you buy are generated. Not very reliable, if you ask me. Look at the ads on television for business opportunities. You are directed to a web site that requires your contact information, not a web site that contains any information on a specific opportunity, and once you enter that information, it is sold to recruiters as a lead. This is done under the guise of matching you to the perfect home business. But what is really going on here is that you enter your information and it is sold to as many recruiters as possible (profitable) and after listening to endless sales pitches, you decide what, if anything, you are interested in.



Another way that these companies generate leads is to have you fill out online surveys. Once you participate in one of these surveys, you will get phone calls from retailers, colleges and all manner of businesses trying to sell you something. Why do they call? Because it is easier to sell you something if they can get you talking, or at the very least, listening. It is far easier on the conscience to delete and email than it is to hang up on someone. If they can get their pitch out to you in the shortest amount of time, they have a higher chance of getting you involved; getting your money. That is why these folks read from scripts and talk incredibly fast while they're doing it.



How does one avoid this hassle? Don't fill out these online forms. That is part of the answer at any rate. There is nothing you can do about people who would go online and fill out these forms in your name, but at least when that happens and you do get a call, you can say that you never requested this information good-bye. No guilt involved there.



I ran into a problem with someone signing me up for services through my phone bill, simply because they knew my phone number. I discovered this when I called the company that posted charges to my phone bill to discover that the person who signed me up for this $15.00/month voice mail service did so using my maiden name. That helped me figure out who it was that did this. There are only a handful of people with any motivation to do something like this, and even fewer who know my maiden name and phone number.



The company posting the charges was quick to reverse them when I told them that the phone number they charged was not even listed in my name and that my husband was the only person who could authorize such charges to the account. Can you say lawsuit? They could, and quickly refunded the charges, but it didn't stop them from adding charges to the account in the future. It has become a monthly ritual for me now, to call this company and complain.



Now tell me, why would I spend $15.00 a month on a voice mail service when I get voice mail as part of my regular phone service? You'd think that my telephone company would catch that, but they didn't and what's more, they didn't care, until I refused to pay those charges. When asked, they said they can't block the charges, so I simply told them that I couldn't pay them. That was the end of that. You see, the phone company pays the charges to the submitting company, and you have to pay the phone company back, but when I told them I wouldn't pay for those charges, that my husbnd didn't authorize them my, phone company was quite upset, but have still done nothing to block them.



Some people think it is a funny joke to do such things, but it isn't funny and it is no joke. Be careful about who you give your information to. There are a lot of programs out there that pay people to fill in these forms and they don't care what information is entered into them as long as it generates a lead; information that can be sold.



My son, at the age of 16, was getting phone calls daily from recruiters looking to sell him on a home business opportunity, because someone thought it would be funny to use his information in some of these forms. When I would tell the caller that he was a minor, they'd pitch me as his mother.



Guard your contact information. People worry about identity theft to the point of paying companies to protect it yet they don't think twice about filling out contact forms online. It's crazy. Just because you see something published in a magazine doesn't mean it is credible either. Like I said at the beginning, the magazine I received was 34 pages of ads telling me to visit web site X to collect my contact info. Don't buy into this. Your phone will never stop ringing and you'll never stop hitting the delete button inside your email box. Stop filling out online surveys too.



Here's my rule of thumb: If a site doesn't contain a privacy statement and full disclosure of the intended use of my information, I get out of there as fast as I got there. The fact that this disclosure is not on site makes it illegal in the first place, and do you really want to become involved with an illegally operating business? I don't think so, Dear.
