FFA, or Free For All sites are the next generation of internet marketing. Or at least that\’s what many want you to believe.

FFA sites are places where anyone can post a short ad with a link, as long as they agree to accept emails from the site owner. Some of the most popular sites are

ffanet.commyebiz.comprolinks.comkiosk.comffamailblaster.com

At first thought this seems like a remarkable way to advertise. But, there are major problems here.

First off, the only way for the advertisement to work is for people to visit the FFA site where it is posted. But the only people it seems that visit these sites are those that post an ad. To make matters worse, 99% of posts are done now through autosubmiters. So who actually sees your ad? Absolutely no one.

You may have received emails from FFA site owners of claiming that advertising via an FFA is worthless unless you actually own the site. Their flawed reasoning (which I will explain shortly) is that as the owner, you get to post your own ads on the site, and better yet More »

Once upon a time, a very long time ago, when I was first starting out as an apprentice engineer, I was told to sit next to Jack.

Jack was the longest serving Draughtsman in the organisation and he was one of the most lazy people I have ever met. However, I earned something very important from Jack…

Jack gave me a small project to prepare a technical drawing of a simple part for a machine. I can\’t remember what the machine was but I made a mess of my first attempt and hurriedly tried to rub it out before anyone spotted my mistake.

\”Listen to me lad\” says Jack, \”just you remember that you get paid just as much to rub out as you do to draw in the first place, so don\’t you be frightened to make a few mistakes.\”

What a relevation! I had just left school, where the philosophy was very much about getting all your answers right More »

The product is about teaching your parrot how to talk. Now THAT is a niche! http://www.yourparrotwilltalk.com

There are a few niche information products targeting pet owners. Creating a product for pet owners is a very sound idea. People love their pets more than anything else they own.

Frank Kern created a product for parrot owners that is making him $20,000 a year on autopilot. A search for \”parrots\” in the Overture inventory tool at http://inventory.overture.com returned 88,000 results. That means 88,000 people searched for that term in February 2004.

Let\’s see how Frank is making money on autopilot with his product. By typing \”parrots\” without the quotes into Google\’s search box, I see that on the right side of the results page, Frank\’s parrot site is listed in the number one position.

It\’s very likely that Frank pays only the minimum of five cents per click with his Adwords campaign because there are only three other ads on that page. Let\’s say that Frank gets two percent of people who search for \”parrots\” to click on his ad.

He probably gets more than that since it\’s a very good ad. The wording of the ad hasn\’t changed for weeks so it must work, I\’ve checked.

At two percent click through rate (ctr) that means 1,760 people visit his parrot site. If just five percent of people order Frank\’s product at $37.77 More »

You can generate instant income from your book instead of waiting till you complete it.

There is a way to do it. However, this method may not suitable for all.

One way to get into profit immediately is by strategy of On People\’s Money.

I bet most of you already know how instalment on car or house loan works. You get your car or house upfront. And, you must pay it every month.

This is simple to understand.

But, what if it is the other way round?

It works like this.

You gain a lump sum of money selling future contract of your service without having to render it completely now.

The trick here is to make money selling your product upfront and deliver it over a period of time.

By doing this way, you\’ll have better cash flow for business operation.

How to make it work in your book?

Write and sell one chapter at a time.

Turn the chapters into newsletter issues and sell them at much higher price.

A completed book is usually distinguished by consumers as less valuable than paid newsletter.

Such strange behaviour happens all the time. The longer time it takes to fulfil a product, the higher the perceived value is.

Such mentality is the same to people buying car or house on credit. They\’ll stay with the program until full ownership is transferred to them. It is like a wonderful dream they\’re chasing after at.

And, they\’ve no choice but to fulfil the credit agreement. Otherwise, it can turn into their worst nightmare.

Have you ever had one of those days when you just feel like something is missing? … something just doesn’t feel right… like you should be doing something but you can’t remember what?

Well, I had one of those days recently… my computer was in the shop for a minor repair. Ahhhhh! What was I going to do?

Ok, so I planned to take my computer in for the repair. Then I would go shopping for my daughter’s birthday present and have lunch with my husband. But, that still left half a day. No problem. That was taken care of as my phone continued to ring even without my computer there. But, the whole time I felt like something was missing.

Why are we so dependent on our computers? Why do our routines feel completely out of whack if we don’t have our trusty keyboard and mouse?

In today’s high tech society, a computer is a common site in most homes and nearly all businesses. Everyone and his brother has access to these electronic lifelines and most depend on them to help run their lives smoothly.

For any entrepreneur who relies on the virtual work for business, when our computers are unavailable, we can be at a loss as to what we can do. So More »

In the quest to attract customers and make more sales, the temptation is to focus on the Internet. It\’s easy to forget there are other tools that are less tedious, easier to use, and even more effective.

For example, simply telling people what we do and how it benefits them is the most profound marketing "secret" ever invented. And, the opportunities to talk to people are unlimited!

Consider that every service organization (Rotary, Kiwanis, etc.) needs a speaker every week! This creates thousands of opportunities to do someone a favor and tell your story! The potential is huge!
