Tomorrow I will be ... GULP! 53! Geez, I am still

so young, how did that happen, lol. The bright side

is I got my darling Madison yesterday and get to

keep her until Friday but I insisted that if they

HAVE to have her back ON my b-day, they can make

the trip here to get her. So, bummer, have to give

her back BUT I get Pasta House for dinner  :-)

 

:-)

 

Finally started a new advertising campaign for

the ezine and first - of course - was an ad package

from iCop: http://www.i-cop.org/products/ref.cgi?id=jantd

 

I am also trying Rent-A-List

 

   1. Targeted email marketing

   2. Stand-Alone email drops

   3. Sponsorship programs

   4. Banner display advertising

   5. Text display advertising

http://www.rent-a-list.com/s/i/jantd

 

will update anyone who is interested in my results

in both or either - just write the addy above with

adresults as the subject. Give me a week or so to

have an idea how they are going.  :-)

Featured Article

 

Making money out of nothing but affiliate marketing

 

When the affiliate marketing programs being offered

to you seem to be too good to be true, they probably are.

You probably have heard or read the same advice over and

over again. The growing numbers of affiliate programs,

online or offline are all claiming to be the best.

 

Besides that, they will give you an initial impression that

you do not have to do more than just place a banner or two

to start earning more profits than you could ever imagine.

This is not always the case. This may apply to some who

have already built up a successful site and a name for

themselves. But for most, affiliate marketing needs a

little work and time.

 

Email can be an effective affiliate marketing instrument.

If done correctly, that is.

 

Promotion by means of email is very rampant. But with it

comes spam. If you want to use email for your affiliate

marketing, you have to be sure that you stand by what you

are offering and that you make yourself available anytime

for any questions or queries.

 

It is said that adding adarticles to your email

advertising works really well. Putting a summary about

your product or service that can instantly pique the

attention of your readers works well most of the time.

 

This summary should contain a link to an adarticle

located on your site. By this, you get to promote your

business. You also give your visitors a chance to check

out other parts of your site.

 

The advantage to the advertiser is that they get highly

targeted clients to visit their site. These people may

even become future customers if ever they find the

offers interesting and helpful.

 

Try to differ from the usual. Be unique.

 

The many existing affiliate marketing tactics made

some people already blind to the sales and marketing

pitch being presented. You cannot blame them. Imagine

yourself being bombarded by these things everyday and

you will feel the same.

 

Squeeze out your creative juices and give them something

original enough to stop them from leaving and make them

stay to read on. You can try to find a hosting company

that can do the job well. Having a great one will make

you more than comfortable to offer anything from small

to big time deals.

Patience is a virtue in affiliate marketing.

 

Contact a certain company to negotiate an arrangement

if you feel that you are confident enough to generate

an amazing number of sales for them. If they seem not

interested in what you are offering, do not give up yet.

Be patient.

 

Take into account that these companies are being

approached everyday by affiliates giving out promises.

Most of them cannot deliver what they are saying; thus

making company owners wary of which ones to choose.

 

You can always go the extra mile and implement other

techniques in order to get more sales. Once you have

done this, approach them again for your services.

Chances are, they will be more than willing to get

into your affiliate program this time around.

 

Keep in mind that most types of advertising do not

give out results instantly. Putting up a banner for

your affiliate marketing campaign and getting it off

after a few days should not be done. You may think

that they are not being effective or that they are

not working. It takes time.

 

Some of the affiliate marketing strategies that have

worked successfully for you may not work the same way

on other campaigns. It is worth the try but do not

expect for things to turn out exactly.

 

If you are having continuous problems with your

affiliate program, get in touch with the company.

If they are committed to their business, they will

help you in every way possible on which ones work

best. They probably have thousands of affiliates

willing to teach you what works best.

 

Affiliate marketing can be exciting and depressing

at the same time. The ups and downs you will encounter

are never boring; it will always be a challenge.

 

It all boils down to affiliate marketing being the

survival of the best of the best, the smartest and

the most patient.

Positive Quotes

 

Genuine security arises from actual, first-hand

knowledge that one is both capable and worthy of

achieving happiness (through conscious, responsible

action) and, once having attained it, that he

deserves it.

 

-- Michael J. Hurd () American Motivational Speaker

 

and

 

There are two ways of exerting one's strength:

one is pushing down, the other is pulling up.

 

-- Booker T. Washington

Warmhearted Smile for the Week

 

The rules of chocolate:

 

-If you've got chocolate melted all over your hands,

you're eating it too slowly.

 

-Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices

and strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many

as you want.

 

-The problem: How to get 2 pounds of chocolate home

from the store in a hot car. The solution: Eat it in

the parking lot.

 

-Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal.

It'll take the edge off your appetite, and you'll

eat less.

 

-If calories are an issue, store your chocolate on top

of the fridge. Calories are afraid of heights, and they

will jump out of the chocolate to protect themselves.

 

-If I eat equal amounts of dark chocolate and white

chocolate, is that a balanced diet? Don't they

actually counteract each other?

 

-Money talks. Chocolate sings. Beautifully.

 

-Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make

you look younger. Therefore, you need to eat more

chocolate.

 

-Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things

to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing

done.

 

-A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily

intake of calories in one place. Now, isn't that handy?

 

-If you can't eat all your chocolate, it will keep in

the freezer. But if you can't eat all your chocolate,

what's wrong with you?

 

-If not for chocolate, there would be no need for

control top pantyhose. An entire garment industry

would be devastated. You can't let that happen,

can you?
