Is it still possible to create systems which generate substantial amounts of passive income? This lens will explain how you can build your own network of content sites - sites which are useful to visitors, which generate an income, and which you need to set up only once. education Thu, 26 Jun 2008 00:10:57 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/smms Brian Campbell first came to my attention in April 2008, when he made the announcement that he planned to make $10,000 in only 37 days on facebook. He went on to make $25,121 in only 21 days. How did he do it? He revealed everything in a 3 1/2 hour video training seminar, which he released for a short period of time in May 2008. He took the video seminar down after a week, but he has now released a program called "Social Media Monetization System", with over 10 hours of free training, including that 3 1/2 hour seminar. Brian's system works with all the social networks, including MySpace, Bebo, LinkedIn, Zenzuu and Hi5.

Most marketers would agree that a list of clients and potential clients is one of the core assets of any business. How do you go about building a list? In the offline world, you'd do it by advertising. You'd wait for prospective clients to call you, or you'd try 'cold-calling'. Online, you collect prospect details using a squeeze page. business Sat, 19 Apr 2008 05:25:00 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/videomarketinganswers The popularity of online video has increased dramatically over the last few years as video compression technology has improved and as the cost of bandwidth has fallen. Video is ubiquitous. But there are still plenty of awful videos out there. Videos which are too long, videos which look dreadful, videos with sound you can't hear, advertising products you don't want. How do you make sure that your marketing video is both creatively and technically watchable? How do you use video for marketing? business Sun, 06 Jul 2008 04:06:30 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/creativewaystomakemoney The Internet has really made everything so much easier.

You don't have to conform to the corporate dress code, or deal with uncooperative co-workers. But it's not all plain sailing. Getting to the point where you can lie on the beach sipping margaritas while the money floods into your bank account is going to take a little bit of work, and overcoming a bit of a learning curve.

These are generally unpaid internships, where you promote someone else's websites or products, in return for learning how to do the work. The first intern program I became aware of was James Brausch's program, which I believe he started in July 2006. Since then, a number of his coaching students have started their own intern programs. Is it worth your time? The best thing about an intern program is that it gives you a structure - a specific task to achieve every day. But no intern program can be of any use to you if you don't commit to performing the tasks every day. education Sat, 28 Jun 2008 06:46:19 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/articledistribution Do you want to get your articles distributed all over the Internet? If you're trying to sell products online, it makes sense to get your articles appearing all over the place. Here are some good reasons: To build authority. If you can get your name associated with high-quality information, and have it appear all over the Internet, people will feel more comfortable rwading your material and buying from you. To get traffic to your website. Every time one of your articles is published, it should be linking back to your website. The idea is to get people to publish your articles, creating widely-distributed backlinks to your website, which will improve the search engine ranking of your website. The higher your site appears in the search engine results, the more traffic you will get. In addition, if your articles are well written, people will read them and click on the link to your site, increasing your traffic. There are thousands of article directories and blogs on the Internet, which accept articles from even more thousands of authors. How do you get your articles distributed to as many of these directories and blogs? education Fri, 09 May 2008 04:51:47 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/prism Brian Campbell has created an new group on Facebook called 'P.R.I.S.M - The Secret Social Media Alliance'.

I've called it 'Simple' because it's not hard to understand. But it's not necessarily 'Easy'.

There are thousands of ways to make money online. But there's a big difference between the 'short term' methods that'll just bring in a few dollars here and there, and the 'long term' methods that will bring in a consistent income over many years. Many people make thousands of dollars a month on eBay - but how exactly do they do it? Most of them don't ever handle the inventory they sell. They use drop shippers to fulfil their customer orders. In this lens, we'll examine the drop shipping online auction model. education Wed, 30 Apr 2008 09:49:30 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/setupanautoresponder An autoresponder is simply a program or service which automatically responds to email messages. The kind of autoresponder we use for Internet Marketing is very different from the simple 'vacation responder' you get with GMail or most email clients. What we're talking about is better known as a Sequential Autoresponder. A Sequential Autoresponder can send out an unlimited number of pre-written messages at whatever intervals you require. For instance, you might want to send an email message once a week or once a month. The autoresponder service also allows you to send 'Broadcast' messages at any time - that is, messages which are outside of the regular message sequence. Additionally, the autoresponder service maintains your list (or lists) of subscribers or 'leads'. Subscribers can remove themselves from the list by clicking on a link - no human interaction is needed. People can sign up for your list either by sending an email to a particular email address, or by filling in an HTML form which appears on a web page. education Fri, 25 Apr 2008 03:45:11 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/chooseadomainname Choosing a domain name for your web site is an important step in setting up a simple Internet business.

If your personal credit rating is poor, you're unlikely to be able to get a loan, or a credit card, and may have difficulty trying to buy a car or put a down payment on a house. A bad credit rating is easily discovered by banks and businesses, and you'll find yourself being rejected from things you didn't even know you could be rejected from. Yes, a poor credit rating is the 21st century equivalent to leprosy. The good news is, unlike leprosy, a bad credit rating is usually rectifiable. Sometimes it's a simple matter of paying some forgotten bills, other times it may take more time, but regardless of how bad your credit might be there are probably ways you can improve it. If you've been getting rejected when you apply for loans or credit cards, chances are you have a bad personal credit score. education Thu, 12 Jun 2008 02:40:18 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/secretaffiliatecodeexposed Why is it that some people struggle to make money with affiliate marketing, while others get plenty of traffic and thousands of dollars in sales?

Website visitors have become jaded and skeptical, and getting them to give away their name and email address, is no longer as easy as it used to be. So what is the free line, and why does it need to be moved? The free line is, simply, the line between what someone expects to get for free and what they expect to pay for.

Much of his life was spent studying alchemy, sociology, Eastern vs. Western philosophy, astrology, literature and the arts. The concepts of balance and harmony were important to Jung.
