(C) Copyright Ewen Chia, http://www.ezinearticle.com/

Are you having sleepless nights thinking of the right domain name for your online business?

Everyone and everyone's grandmother knows by now why having your own domain is so important. To sum it up, here're the main advantages :

- It shows You are serious about your business

- It creates instant credibility for your business

- It creates a branding for your business

- It builds your online identity and is easily remembered

- It can be an excellent marketing tool when used correctly

- It can be an investment and intellectual property owned by YOU

Needless to say, having your own domain is an absolute NECCESSITY if you're serious about doing business online. But aren't all the good domain names gone you say?

It's true that most short or one-word or generic names are taken up, BUT you can still win at the domain name game by following these simple steps.

Here are the 5 super easy secrets to a winning domain name anytime!

1. BRANDING

Every business needs to be branded, and that does not exclude your online business. Now what's branding in simple terms?

It's an identity that you want your customers to remember you by, and the best way to do that online is by your domain name. For instance, your business branding may be "Best Quality Service", so why not use BestQualityService.com as your domain name if it's still available for registration?

This is a great way of creating a CONSISTENT branding and identity.

2. PHRASING

How about using familiar or unique phrases as your domain name? This can help differentiate your site and heighten recall factor.

You can think up many catch-phrases for domain branding, how about "CowJumpsOverTheMoon", "MakeLoveNotWar", "SaleOfTheCentury", etc?

But it's important that the phrases you use is aligned to your business, you wouldn't want to use a domain like CheapAndGood.com when you're selling high end premium products, it just doesn't gel.

3. KEYWORDING

An important and smart approach to selecting domain names used by many marketers is to create the domain based on rich keywords relating to their businesses. The reason behind this lies in the fact that it helps enhance search engine rankings, especially pay-per-click listings which is essentially a bidding on top keywords.

As an example, if your site deals with golf improvement, you may want to identify your main keywords and come up with a domain like "improve-golf-lower-scores.com"?

My personal example is my site at http://www.instantmarketingsecrets.com/ which utilises the keywords 'Marketing' and 'Marketing Secrets'.

4. EXPIRED AND EXPIRING

A wonderful method of grabbing quality domain names is by registering domains that had expired or will be expiring. Thousands upon thousands of domains are expiring every other day and getting a good one is possible.

Try this site http://www.deleteddomains.com/ to source for such domains, I grabbed http://www.tanningguideonline.com/ from their list the last time I did a search.

5. BUYING

This option is a little more costly and risky but you'll have a better chance at finding a domain that you really want. There're three main ways to go about this :

- Email the webmaster of the existing domain about your interest and intention.

- Bidding and buying at domain auction, sale sites like http://www.Afternic.com.

- Typing in the name you need and you may land on a 'for sale' page.

Can you STILL Win the domain name game?

You bet You can!

5 Quickest Ways To Massive Windfalls Of Cash Online

(C) Copyright Ewen Chia, http://www.ezinearticle.com

These days everyone wants to know how to make money online.

Yet, for some, this lifestyle seems out of reach. Does this describe you at all?

If you’ve been banging your head against the wall trying to figure out the quickest and easiest methods to generate cash for yourself online, then these five tactics should have you opening your eyes wide and wondering: "Why didn’t I think of this before?"

Cash Tactic #1: Affiliate Products

Affiliate products offer the small, home-based business owner the opportunity to make truckloads of cash, while investing a minimum in over head. Low overhead is the primary benefit of affiliate marketing.

You don’t need your own merchant account. You don’t need to pay a web designer and programmer to create a huge e-store for you. You don’t handle customer complaints, refunds or returns...All you do is refer the prospect to the merchant’s site, and the merchant handles the rest.

I believe the best affiliate products are information products. Your commissions on information products tend to be higher simply because the author can price an information product higher than what the average shopper spends on a tangible product sold online on a typical day.

This is because the value of information is ambiguous at best, and subjective to how the prospect sees value. People are willing to spend much, much more in order to acquire a solution to their problems.

Cash Tactic #2: Resale Rights

Resale rights are the lazy marketer’s salvation. You don’t have to create your own product. You don’t have to write a single word. You may not even have to lift a finger on sales page creation when the resale product comes with a ready-to-upload sales page.

All you do is pay the licensing fee to acquire rights to the product, perform a small amount of editing to change the payment link over to yours, and upload the sales page and product file to your web server.

The trend is taking a turn for the better in 2005 while the marketing world goes through its latest "next big thing": niche marketing.

Today, you can find products with resale rights for such things as cooking, golf, arts and crafts, self-improvement and more. Seizing on the profits promised by demand for niche products, there are dozens of new authors out there who have devoted themselves to turning out these niche products, and offering them with resale rights.

Cash Tactic #3: Special Reports

A special report is a ‘mini e-book’ of no more than about 5 to 12 pages in length. While you can certainly create a mini-ebook that sells (provided the information it contains is perceived to be valuable enough), the best use of a short report is as a lead generating tool for your affiliate campaigns.

The mini-ebook is the ideal viral tool. You create (or acquire) a mini-ebook which is branded with your affiliate links and/or your main URL. The focus of the report should be niche specific and completely focused on the pre-selling of the affiliate product.

Cash Tactic #4: Interviews

It’s a piece of cake to churn out products created from interviews.

In fact, it may be one of the laziest content generation methods available. Interview packaging is easy, too. You can present the interview as a written transcript, an audio transcript, or both. You can offer a downloadable mp3 file or you can burn the entire interview to CD, put an attractive label on it, and instantly raise your price by at least 30%.

Cash Tactic #5 Teleseminars

Do you want to know something interesting about teleseminars?

While they’re becoming a popular marketing method, the field is really wide open for you to cash in on them because very few marketers understand how to pull them off.

A teleseminar requires advance planning and a willingness to overcome a bit of stage fright. The average marketer in competition with you avoids teleseminars for these reasons. They’re intimidated by the idea of showing up on time and speaking, even via telephone, to an audience of a couple hundred people.

You can cash in on this technique in a big way. Teleseminars, right now, are popular mainly among the internet marketing crowd and tend to focus on marketing-related subjects; but, just imagine what you could do if you held teleseminars for non-internet marketing niche audiences? The field is wide open and vastly under-exploited.

There you have it - five quick and easy methods to generate windfalls of cash online! It’s really amazingly simple, isn’t it? Every tactic is really just a vehicle of delivery for an idea.

Your profits begin in an idea which spawns market research. This spawns an analysis of the best approach for delivering your idea to buying public. While there are many more secrets and techniques to generate massive cash windfalls from the internet, as a start, you should put any one of these methods to good use.

I promise that you will finally get a taste of what it’s really like to succeed wildly online if you do so!

Top 10 Tips For Generating Big Traffic To Your Blog Today

(C) Copyright Ewen Chia, http://www.EzineArticle.com

Let’s face it, blogs (or weblogs) are getting incredibly
popular amongst people with an internet connection due to
the ease and practicality of setting one up.

Despite this however, there is no value in having a blog
if no one is visiting and reading it!

Therefore, it is important to know exactly how to drive
traffic to your blog if you desire to increase your
readership or monetize it.

To do that, here are 10 quick tips to generating more
traffic to your blogs:

Tip 1: Reciprocal Linking

One of the most proven ways to gain targeted traffic is
to exchange links with other bloggers or site owners.
This is a task which requires a little work – by sending
an email request for a link exchange with a few follow
ups but the results are worth it.

Another linking method is to simply write a testimonial
for a product you have purchased. If your testimonial is
good, product owners will usually publish it on their
sales page with your blog URL included.

If you want to skip the traditional way of exchanging
links and go for the easier way, you can automate the
process with various software and services found on the
net. Just do a search at Google.com and you will have
a list of these.

Tip 2: Blog Commentaries

Do you know that your comments also have high potential
in generating targeted traffic to your blog and is an
effective linking strategy?

All you have to do is find a blog related to your niche
and post your comments. At the end of your comments you
can include a link back to your blog, this way people who
are interested will be able to visit your blog as well.
However you should never misuse this to spam other blogs.

Tip 3: Blog Directories

Blog directories are similar to search engines just that
they cater only to searches for blogs. It is advisable to
submit your blog to the major directories, some of which
include feedster.com, technorati.com and blogstreet.com.

Similarly, there are many blog services like pingomatic.com
which you can use to ping your blog. Pinging your blog
notifies the service that you have updated your blog.
These services will then publish your new posts and you
get traffic from interested readers and search engines.

Tip 4: Writing Articles

This is one of the best ways of pulling targeted, steady
and long-term traffic to your blog. By writing your own
articles and submitting them to article directories, you
can invite a lot of targeted visitors to your blog.

In order to generate traffic by writing articles, you
need to include your resource box at the end of every
article you have written. The resource box is where you
promote and introduce your website or blog.

To truly maximize your results, you need a system to create,
submit and leverage off your articles easily. One of the best
available is seen at http://EzineArticle.com/aa.htm

Tip 5: Writing Press Releases

Press release is a very effective way of generating instant
traffic to your blog. Although press releases only pull in
short-term traffic, they can work very well if you
continuously write and submit press releases regularly
while monetizing the traffic received.

PRWeb.com is one of the oldest and most trusted sources
for news distribution on the web. Or you can use an automated
press release service like http://www.SubmitYourPressRelease.com
to do the work for you quickly.

Tip 6: Start A Blog Mailing List

The phrase “the money is in the list” is true in all businesses.
If you want to succeed online, you must start building your own
list of targeted subscribers. You can send your subscribers to
your blog anytime you have new posts.

By the same token, you can also get your blog readers to
subscribe to a ‘blog update’ list which can be used to notify
them when you have updated your blog. REPEAT traffic through
returning visitors is a key traffic strategy and you can
control that with this method.

Tip 7: Publishing Your Own Ezine

You can also provide your subscribers with useful information
in several series with an autoresponder. An ezine is often
called an online magazine. By publishing your own ezine, you
are able to attract readership to your blog when you advertise
it in your ezine.

Tip 8: Pay For Traffic

If you have a good monetization strategy for your blog through
affiliate programs, Google Adsense and a mailing list, you
should consider using paid advertising to drive traffic to
your blog.

Recommended options include pay-per-click advertising, ezine
advertising and huge banner exposures.

Tip 9: Giving Out Free Reports

Give out free viral reports to promote your blog. Providing
useful information in your free reports can trigger readers’
interest to know more about you and your websites. More
information on this tactic can be found at
http://www.MiniEbook.com.

Tip 10: Niche Discussion Boards

Discussions boards or forums can deliver targeted traffic to
your blog. If you have a blog about gardening, try searching
for a related niche forum with huge traffic to participate in.

Most forums will usually allow you to include a signature file
where you can write a few sentences of words. You can invite
people to visit your blog through the signature file by posting
more regularly.

In conclusion, realize that getting traffic to your blog
should not be viewed as a one time effort.

Commit and focus on a long-term strategy in order to succeed.
It is all about gaining the momentum. Once you get a decent
amount of traffic to your blog, you will attract more visitors
to it everyday as you work on it. As time goes by, you will
have an amazing amount of traffic to your blog which you never
thought was possible!
