This article is guest posted by Robert Cipriano. Have you ever wondered why most businesses have their own Facebook fan page? Why they’re trying to get more likes as many as they could? It’s easy as 1-2-3. Facebook has been the largest network of people today. Almost everyone has his or her own Facebook account regardless of age. This only means that their customers are most probably on the said Social Networking Site. That’s enough reason for them to desire the most likes on their fan page. But the question is how can it happen? In this article, we will discuss strategies by which you can get the most likes for your business’ Facebook fan page. 2 Ways To Get Facebook Likes There are actually 2 ways by which you can gather likes on Facebook. The first way is called Organic. It is the hardest and the most promising. It is hard because you either need to be a popular celebrity or an influential business tycoon for people to like your page without the essential marketing. On the other hand, having exceptional content will also compel them to like your page and long for more information you are providing through that page. It is the most promising because it lasts. The authority you build through your Facebook fan page will stick to people’s mind for the longest time. They will remember you for the great content you provide and you will be recognized in your niche of interest. The second way is the artificial means and this is where we will focus in our discussion. In this way you will somehow manipulate the playing field in a good sense. There are also two ways that you can make people like your page in this method. The first is you can buy likes. It’s like buying votes. This is super expensive. Imagine buying a like for $2, that’s $200 for a hundred likes and for a thousand likes you’ll need $2000. You need to be Richie-rich to have 10,000+ likes on your business’ Facebook fan page. But there’s still the second way in the artificial means of getting more likes and it is creating the demand. Through this way, you will give the reason why people need to like your page. There are a lot of techniques in doing this. For one, you can run a contest on your fan page where you’ll give away a trip to the Philippines, or you can give away gadgets like an IPAD and other prices you think the people in your niche are interested. Today, there is no better way to gather likes on Facebook other than running a contest that will force or will let people like your page. Running A Contest On Facebook Before running a contest, you need to know three things. First is who your target likers are? Running a contest and getting the likes from the people who aren’t on your niche is useless. You’re losing the purpose of getting likes if you target the wrong people. Second is how much are you willing to spend for the likes you will get? Prizes matter in a contest. If you’re just willing to give away just a piece of candy, no one would dare to join your contest. But, if you’re willing and able to give away, let’s say, a free pass to a luxurious resort like Caliraya Recreation Center, people will pour in naturally as participants. You need a competitive prize for your contest before people will engage themselves to it. Next thing you need to consider is the mechanics of your contest. Of course, you need to include that people should like your page as a part of the contest mechanics. It should not be too hard for people to comply before they can have a chance to win. Lastly, you will also need an effective marketing for your contest, so that people will know that you have a contest running. Running a Facebook contest can be very challenging especially if you don’t have a compelling prize for people to join your contest. Having more Facebook likes on your business’ fan page can do a lot of favor to your company. One, it will give people the impression that you have the reputation in your business niche. Two, It’s an automatic customer list. Most probably, the people who liked your page are possible customers for your business. Three, since a lot liked your page you can use that as another channel of marketing for your business. You can use it to promote new products or services, promotions or discounts, and to let your customers know about company events and activities. These are some of the things you can do with a viable Facebook fan page for your company. There’s a lot more benefits in having 10000+ likes on your business’ fan page, all you have to do is to get the likes and discover the power it has in store for your company.

Comments OffBetter Pictures = Better Traffic= Great Blog
This article is guest posted by Deidra Wilson You work tirelessly on your blog. You research your keywords, build links and pour through your analytics with the skill of a surgeon. Do you put the same amount of effort and thought into the pictures you post on your blog? As a Las Vegas wedding photographer , photography is my job. I do however have the constant demand of providing my blog’s readers with relevant and unique pictures. Good pictures on your website are a key part of making money online. That old adage ‘A picture is worth a thousand words’ very much applies to how your readers perceive your blog and your brand. Load up a popular news website – any of them. You will see current, relevant and well composed pictures to support their news. If you were constantly presented with an 8 year old stock image that has questionable relevance to the subjects, you would view that news brand as not being a major player. By taking a few easy steps, you can start taking your own pictures to complement your blog posts that will make your readers come back again and again. 1) It is not the tool in the bag, it is the skill of the person using it Everyone owns a digital camera. The one you own will do just fine – you do not need to rush out and spend thousands on professional camera gear to produce quality images. Some of the favorite photos I have taken have been shot with a variety of camera phones, $10 old film cameras and even Polaroids. Point being, if you have a simple point and shoot camera, you can take great pictures with it. Set your camera on automatic, resist the urge to use any of the factory ‘scenario settings’ as the landscape setting might work one day, it might be terribly wrong another day due to available light. 2) Hit the lights! Lighting is half the battle in photography. Sometimes I can be found simply waiting on light when I am on an outdoor shoot, the perfect moment does not always come (usually at dawn or dusk) but when it does it can be magical. For basic images indoors, keep your flash on but try and add as much additional light to the subject area as possible. When you turn off the flash on a simple point and shoot camera, it overcompensates by keeping the shutter open longer to allow more light in. That almost always results in a blurry image unless you are using a solid tripod and remote shutter control. Experiment with using simple household flashlights or other on hand light sources, when in doubt, flip the switch for your overhead lights. 3) Avoid the ‘stock’ look Stock photography is just that – it’s stock. You want to take and provide your readers with unique photos that they have not seen anywhere else. If you are taking a picture of a shoe for example, what do you think your readers would find more appealing? A heavily flashed picture of the show on your kitchen table or a more interesting picture, an intimate close-up taken in an environment where you would expect to see that shoe used – a basketball court, running, etc. If you run a blog about basketball and you are talking about shoes – take a picture of a basketball shoe on a basketball court. Don’t stop there, get creative with what you do to that shoe (or your subject). Toss the shoe up into the net, hang it with fishing line, etc. Your readers will notice the extra effort in your photography that supports your blog posts. Happy readers translate into more readers and more links each and every time. © Make Money Online
Hard News and Image Lookup for Affiliate Marketing
This article is guest posted by Riley Kissel Although many successful bloggers are using different affiliate marketing techniques to build stronger relationships with their clients and increase traffic flow through to their website, the majority of traditional techniques are soon to fall by the way-side because they’re too predictable. Rewarding online followers with gifts and other incentives for clicking and browsing is soon to become trite and overrated. The new hot approach to affiliate marketing is going to be using less-traditional modes like the reverse phone lookup of Anywho.com and the image lookups. Reverse phone-lookup allows the user to find names, addresses, and businesses that they could then use on map searches or image searches, while the image lookups allow bloggers to add visual appeal to their websites and connect photos and images to content within their website on a particular subject matter. The thing that makes image lookups so powerful is that for those who like using affiliate marketing to generate traffic, the blogger can use images to find topics to talk about or use images to compel online readers to click certain keywords within articles that the reader would have before ignored (without a shadow of a doubt). When using image lookup systems, because search engines cannot read images (at least not just yet), in order for the images to be ranked, the system has to look for clues, which seems a little more cumbersome. Also, to successfully incorporate images, it is a good idea to keep one image per/page and to link the image with the keyword anchor text link with the same similar word-choice. What I mean relating the image to the text is that each image should have a caption that uses some if not all of the same words as the hypertext associated with the blog. This way each reader is attracted to both the image and the text almost simultaneously. It is also important that all images are readable when reduced to a thumbnail. It seems that the best use of image lookup with affiliate marketing will be when the subject matter applies to hard news and other more serious projects or when bloggers wish to connect to government entities and/or non-profit organizations . Just as in writing or anything else, it is clearly important and critical to be selective in the images used with affiliate marketing and to limit the amount of images associated with a particular blog. The images should not take away from the written word or conflict with the writer’s intention or message. Any image that would distastefully create a negative image for your blog should not be included. It’s going to be interesting how images take over the written word in the blog world and how blog-writers and the relationships they create with their clients will have to deal with the new sensation of having to use visual appeal to increase web traffic consistently. © Make Money Online

This article is guest posted by Stephen O’Neill You take pride in informing others that you own a blog but the what irritates you is that none of the posts that you have made managed to draw a single comment, save those unfrequented occasions when you find your posts getting flooded with spam. Now screaming at the sky would not change the situation. The only consolation is that you are not the only blogger in the universe who is having this tricky issue; some reputed bloggers have faced the same situation until they found out the secrets of getting more comments. Here we are going to uncover some so called secrets of getting more comments so that you would not have to stare blank at the posts that you have summed up with painstaking efforts: Court Controversy Adding a certain dose of controversy is not going to cost you anything. But it may help you draw a little bit of extra attention of people around. The truth of the matter is that everyone loves controversy, and for good or evil, we need it time to time to get the conversation going. So, if you want to make people talk about your post or say something against someone’s views, do not miss out on this opportunity. Try to hit hard on a general topic and then put on your thinking cap and try to draw out something really controversial. And you have done it! Congratulation, now see the flood of comments in the next few hours. Bring Out Your Best Be honest with whatever you are going to write. Ask yourself these questions. Would you mind commenting on this post if you were a general visitor? Or would you bounce back after reading first few sentences? If the answers are affirmative, you need to do a little bit of research. Take your time until you come up with something really awesome. The post should have every semblance of a great post otherwise people would not care a straw to post in it. Be Bold Try to participate in other blogs and forums. And whenever possible post links of your website therein but do not stretch the limit to extreme. Of course I am not asking you spamming other blogs but it is not something sacrilegious to post relevant links in other’s blog. If your posts are of good quality, people will come to your website and comments will soon follow. Do Not Finish It All Do not draw a conclusion. If you are doing so, you are just leaving little room for others to post their valuable comments. So, leave posts unfinished as it will inspire others to post their feedbacks and thus, comments will be pouring in to your blog. And do not participate in the discussion all the time. Let the visitors discuss things themselves. Ask A Question This is a common practice so; you should not focus too much on it. Try other methods along with it if you are to get the best return. Ending with a question may have the dramatic effect but that does not mean that you will overdo it. Try to keep things simple and you will see a steady rise in the number of comments. If you can follow these, you are sure to see some significant difference. Good luck.

This article is guest posted by Patrick Meninga There are actually a lot of different ways to build up a passive income stream in your life. For example, you could own real estate and rent out property to people. Or you might have mountains of cash wrapped up in investments that pay you interest and dividends. But most of are not in a position to be able to command that kind of wealth and money just yet, so we have to build systems that can generate passive income for us. Building a system for making money online Unless you have tons of money laying around for investing, then you are going to have to do some work in order to start making money while you sleep. “But wait a minute,” you say. “I thought I was going to earn passive income. As in, not having to work for it.” Well, you can still do some work and build up a passive income stream. Ultimately what you are going to be doing is to build a system that makes money, rather than doing hourly work for a wage. There is a subtle difference there and those who are making big money online understand this perfectly. What you want is to build something that has value that can keep paying you money over and over again. Sure, you put in some work up front. But once the machine is in motion, it will pay you over and over again. The internet is suited for this purpose perfectly. Ultimately, there is a 3 step process for building such a system online: 1) Create a website that has real value for the reader. 2) Promote that website such that it eventually receives a steady stream of free traffic to it. 3) Turn that stream of free traffic into money. Because the internet can serve up your website to hundreds or even thousands of people every day while you are sleeping, you can keep delivering value to people even while you are not awake. Thus the income you earn from that value you provide is really quite passive. Providing value in the online world Many people hear of making money on the internet and they feel that it is beyond them, or that they surely must have missed the boat by now. They believe that they are too late to the party, and that there is no opportunity left to make any income online. Not true. The internet is vast, young, and ripe for fresh content, especially if you have personal insight that can help others. For example, my grandparents (yes, my grandparents!) expressed an interest in “blogging” a little over a year ago. Under my guidance, they know post 3 articles each week on a topic that they absolutely love, and they are earning over $200/month in passive income from it. If they stop posting articles, guess what? The money just keeps rolling in. Folks, if my grandparents can do it, then anyone can do it. Carlocab.com is a successful website because it adds value and provides good information. You can use this site to learn how to build up your own passive income stream, if you are willing to put in the work. Are you ready to earn money while you sleep? Build a system that provides real value, and your dream of passive income can become real.

This article is guest posted by Lauren Bailey Before launching a product, marketers should have a very strong sense of the market for that product and how potential buyers will evaluate whether or not they should purchase the product, whether it’s software, an e-book, or even just web content or ads. In other words, having just a good product will not be enough to successfully make a name for your company in its niche. You’ll also need to manage the product after its release, which means knowing into what kind of world this product is going to be released. As you get ready to launch the product, think about some of the concerns you should have about your intended consumers. Here are a few questions you should ask yourself about your customers’ spending habits so you can better understand them: Who is in charge of the purchase? The first person you have to account for is the person in charge of the money, as he or she will ultimately decide whether or not to release the funds in order to make the purchase. Look at your product and examine how the person in charge of buying it will view it. Will he or she see it as a must-have item? Or will he or she perceive it as a luxury product? How you adjust your product’s price and marketing campaign will depend on how you imagine the buyer’s perception of your product. Where does the money come from? Second, think about the budgets of your targeted consumers. If you’re selling a product to an industry that is suddenly cutting out funds for, say, contracting out internet technology support, and that’s your product, then you’re going to have to come up with another way to address that barrier. Likewise, if your product is for parents, then try to figure out ways that you can soften its impact on their budget. Are the purchaser and the user different? This is a rather complicated sort of purchase because you’re trying to address the requirements of two different people. For example, if your product is a toy, then you have to please the parent who buys the toy and you have to please the child who wants the parent to buy the toy. This, naturally, complicates how you will manage the product. Likewise, if your product Is this a new purchase for your consumer? Finally, you have to consider how the purchase is being made. If it’s a new purchase, for example a new purchase for the consumer, such as a first car, then your client will naturally have quite a few more questions and unknowns to address. However, if it’s a routine purchase, such as groceries or some other regular necessity, then your consumer might have fewer questions but a narrower range of options, as dictated by, for example, brand loyalty. Of course, these are only four very general questions; plenty of other questions stem off of them or originate throughout the product design and marketing process. What are some other questions that you try to ask yourself about your targeted audience? Please feel free to share these in the comments section.

If you have a blog and it has become quite successful over time, you might find that people offer you money in exchange for including links to their websites in your posts. Opinion is somewhat split over whether it is a good idea to sell links on your blog or not, so this article looks at both sides of the issue to determine whether it’s worth it. But first, why do people want to pay you to put links on your blog? Probably the main reason people like to get blogs to include links to their sites is that it can help with their SEO and web traffic. After all, if you have a popular blog and you write a post that links to another website, it’s likely that people will click on the link – especially if you write with some authority on a subject and the link is relevant to that subject. This effectively means that the website whose link it is gets to benefit from increased traffic without the normal hard work of online relationship building – and you get to benefit from the money they pay you. This all sounds good and, sometimes, it can be really tempting to sell links on your blog. This can particularly be the case if you’re a fan of the website that wants to put a link on your blog as it can lend you some authority as well as them. Plus, if they’re offering you good money then it will naturally be even more tempting. However, it often isn’t a good idea to sell links on your blog, largely because search engines such as Google frown upon it. If they find out that you’ve been selling links on your blog, you might find that your page ranking moves down as a result. This can then make it harder for web users to find your blog when they are searching online, which could mean that you get less traffic, which means you’ll get fewer clicks on your already-existing ads and therefore less revenue. This means it’s not always worth selling links on your blog as the downside could outweigh the benefits. There are also other things you need to consider before selling blog links. For instance, is the website in question really relevant to your blog? If it’s not relevant to the topic of your blog then it’s probably best to steer clear just in case as it’s always better to be on the safe side. Plus, you might find that reputable websites are able to get others to link to their sites without needing to pay them in the first place. If someone offers you money to host a link on your blog, why are they doing it? Why do they need to do it when there are so many other good ways to build SEO? If you’re still interested in having other people’s links on your blog then an alternative option to consider would be to get them to write a guest post with a link back to their site. Then ask if you can write a guest post for their blog with a link back to yours – that way you both still benefit but the resultant SEO will be organic rather than questionable.
