Say Hello to Internet Streams (Pt 1)

Say Hello to Internet Streams (Pt 1)

Where are you going and where have you been?

Even before making their first dollar online, bright online content developers need to understand what it takes to see their dreams through to reality. People like me know more than they can do and do as much as they can. I have been known to mix things up.

This year there is change in my approach, call it a maturing of the procedure. You and I are expecting to see some good things from Powerfitz Publishing and the content that will be produced in 2010. As a writer I am becoming more aware how valuable each word can be, that is why I am building my very own base of content to market rather than selling it away for practically nothing. "Learn how I made the switch."

Every write needs to look at where they stand against someone like me, I'm poised to make a name for myself and the only things I had when I started was a computer and the internet. If you can write you can make money online. Work for someone else and it's a job. Work for yourself and you have the possibility of making it very big indeed.

Here's a little secret that's not really a secret...

"Content Marketing is what everyone wants right now, and search engines are rewarding streams of original content with the best search results." They might call it a band wagon but I call it band width and with the recent introductions of both Amazon Kindle and now the iPad from Steve Jobs and Apple, The writing for money online trend is moving in a direction that benefits writers and authors and readers alike. The demand for original content to fill the huge amounts of Kindle and Ipad disk space is creating new business models from which to earn an income.

If you are not sure which direction to take your content management, consider keeping it all for yourself and making money from it? The smartest authors are building a private library of "on demand" content that people can come and grab whenever they like. Fans and followers from Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn allow authors and readers to connect.

A business model of content management based on the theory that as the internet evolves into "streams", a business must have "content" first. Take in account that to build a stream with followers takes on average a year or more before any revenue can even begin to be created.

"How far behind are you willing to get?"

What happened to @armano?

An interesting thing happened to someone I follow on Twitter. @armano has been a favorite of mine because his design features are fresh and compliment what is happening online right now. Using his experience in design and social networking, he has cultivated a following of expectant friends and fans.

Recent events from the posts of @armano have been unexpected, and show how hard it is to do something good in front of a large group of people. The two sides are represented by those who see his actions as so above reproach that any criticism is blaspheme and those, like me, who see a weakness in not doing what we do best. @armano does great presentations and creative, I do not think though that a foray into philanthropy did him any favors.

I am not charitable. As a small family, we donated under $100 last year. We did though, offer our time to a number of church, school, and family needs that without our help would not be able to benefit from our good deeds. So take away the money, or in this case, start asking for money, and I immediately look at the participants, the reason, and the promotion.

Using Twitter, Facebook, and his own personal connections combined with a method for donation, a sum of money was raised to help a deserving family threatened by domestic violence and/or abuse. A spouce and 3 children (one with downs syndrome) have no where to go. My man @armano and his small family decide the time had come to help, and @daniela was the one they were going to help.

Creatively successful @armano was successful and his goals achieved. Right? Heck no, he's dealing with reprecussions of the action (even though the cause again is irreproachable) and in an effort to control what percieved damage there may be, he went ahead and posted his last post (not the way to end what he started). In it he describes what has happened, gives links to the relevant information when asked, and informs those who may read how unprepared he was and unconscious to the ramifications prior to beginning the effort.

It looks like @armano has had to take a hit to his reputation while trying to do the right thing. Consider that with a proper plan and exit strategy, it would have been a leading example of how to do what he wanted to do.

Something that added to my inability to see this as a success was @armano now responsible for 5 children in bed at his house. Devotion and emotion should not be coupled with responsibility where the responsible parties seem to be no where in sight.

Do what it is you do best and let others take advantage of your gift. Changing direction suddenly requires an expertise in change that only few of us can muster.

To be successful growing Powerfitz.com and our vision for it, the work has been multiplying as we look to take advantage of the holiday seasons this year. While the months fly by, we are including new content and connections from which to deliver our news to. All blogs are being regularly updated, as is the Powerfitz.com homepage. Set up like a blog, the new format for Powerfitz.com is to keep our visitors updated on what is going on in our internet world.

Team Nitrousfitz just completed the 2008 NHRA drag race season. Now that the focus is on the holidays, we are attempting to add 50 new products each day.

Free Traffic! Direct More to YOU!

How to increase your website traffic with zero cost'. It's a bold statement don't you think. But, believe me it's true. You can increase your traffic by 1000% with no cost involved if you do it the right way. Continue reading if you want to know how.

I've outlined 5 ways to reach your target. But, please keep in mind that these are not the only ways that you can do to increase your traffic. There are hundreds of techniques to increase traffic. But these one are the proven one. I've used it personally. More importantly, these techniques can get you FREE traffic. You're money is saved in your pocket. Let's go to the first one.

Technique #1: Linking strategy

Linking strategy is the easiest way to get free traffic. When I say "the easiest way" it does not mean that you can ask everybody to link to your site and do nothing after that. Compared to other techniques that you'll discover, this one will take less time to do.

Here's how to do it. First select the site in your niche market. Be selective. Choose one that has a high traffic. Usually a high traffic site is pretty stingy to put link to your site. So, the key here is to be persistent. Ask them how many visitors do they received per month and if they could link to your site. If they don't answer your request, email them the second time.

Be persistent. If they don't want to link to your site, ask them to trade link instead (reciprocal link). This is the last resort you want to have.

Word of warning: Don't crowd your site with too many links. Only accept link trading if it's really worth it.

Technique #2: Offer Free eBooks or articles

You'll fall in love with this technique if you see what it can do to your site. This technique can create an excellent'Viral marketing' effect. It can multiply the no of visitors to your site in a matter of days.This most important thing about this technique is that to offer something that is really useful to your visitor. So useful that they can only get that information from you!

You need to the 'wants' in your need market. What problems do they encounter? Solve these problems and you have a killer articles or e-book that you can give away for free. Remember, don't sell it. Give it away for free. If you feel really reluctant to give your article or e-book for free, you can give your visitors a partial of it. But, make sure it's really useful. Don't forget to put your name and your contact information in this article or e-book. Usually, if you write an article, you need to include your resource box at the very bottom of your article.

The most important task in this technique is to offer a reprint right to your visitors. What this mean is that your visitors can publish your articles or e-book to anyone in any medium; email, Ezine, website or anything. But please state your condition: Include your contact information or resource box. This will create viral effect to your visitors.

Before I forgot, there is one particular e-book compiler that is good in doing this kind of task. The name of this e-book compiler is 'E-book Edit Pro'. With this compiler, you can offer your visitors a customizable e-book. This is a great incentive for them to distribute your article or e-book since they can put their name and information in it. If you like to know more about the excellent compiler, please visit:http://www.ebookedit.com/

Technique #3: Classified Ad

This is the most time consuming technique compared to all 5. While it is time consuming, it is really worth it.

Tips - This technique should be used together with the above technique. Let me explain:

First, you need to write an e-book or article that you can give it away for free. Then, you need have an autoresponder. If you don't have an autoresponder (your hosting company should provide this service for free), you can get one for free. Just type 'free autoresponder' in your search engine and you'll get hundred of sites that provided free autoresponder. If you're searching for excellent autoresponder, I'd like to suggest these autoresponder:

1. http://www.getresponse.com - Most online marketers used this service. You pay monthly to them for providing service. The most important feature is that you can personalize your autoresponder with your visitor's name. They also provide a free service. The only catch is that there will be an ad in your email.

2. http://www.aweber.com - One of the first companies to provide autoresponder service. Try to visit their site if you want to learn more. Basically, it offers the same kind of service as getresponse.com.

3. http://www.autoresponseplus.com - You only need to pay one-time fees for this service since the software will be installed on your server. It's great in you don't want to pay high monthly fees. The only drawback for Autoresponseplus is that you need to have a little bit skill on how to install cgi (Common Gateway Interface) on your server.

Enough talking. Let's continue.

After you have your own autoresponder, place your free article in this autoresponder. Now, you need to advertise your autoresponder address in the classified ad website. Don't put your email address but your autoresponder address. The best part with this technique is that you can capture you visitor's email. You can contact them again and again if you have any offer in the future.

Technique #4: Deliver informational pack Ezine/newsletter

People surf the net to look for information. Out of 100, only 3 people surf the net to buy something. But others are doing some research or try to find something informational.

With this keep in mind, you can attract people to come to your site if you can deliver them timely information. By producing timely information, you glued these visitors to your site preventing them from going elsewhere. This can be done by giving them free newsletter or Ezine.

This is not an easy task because there is abundance of free information on the net. You need to give them something different from these 'free' stuff. Try to provide something unique in your Ezine. For example, if you're publishing music Ezine, try to make a deal with music label so that you can give special price to your subscriber. Make sure your subscriber cannot get this of kind if deal in other place. If you can create this unique proposition, you're already on top of the world. Your Ezine will spread like fire. More people will come to your site to subscribe your unique newsletter.

Technique #5: Offer affiliate program

This is the greatest FREE traffic generator technique out there. With this technique both parties win; you and your affiliate program participant. You get more traffic and sales, they get more money from referral commission.

This topic is really a large topic. I can write a whole e-book about how to create a successful affiliate program. But, I'll discuss the basic thing about affiliate program in here.

Basically, to create an effective affiliate program, you need to create an interest for your visitor's to join your affiliate program. You can do this by giving them high referral fees and marketing tools for them to use. Above all, you need to make them easy to promote your product or service. Don't make them do all the hard work. It is your job.

The next thing you need to do is to motivate them to spread the word about you. Contact them in a timely manner. Don't forget them after they've joined your program. Make them feel special. In fact, they are special since they are the one who will do the promotion and advertising.A well designed affiliate program can increase your website traffic and sales by unimaginable amount. But again, you need to devote all you effort in this technique if you want to have a successful affiliate program. Don't do it half way. Even if you've to work 18 hours a day to create your own affiliate program, it's really worth it in the future. The payoff is going to be thousand times your initial effort.

All of these techniques are free. You don't have to spend a dime on them. Try it on your site. I've tried all these techniques. And they work!

Constructive Criticism

The Netter will be developing this list of things to do, and things that were already done for the development of our Blog Mall hosted at Powerfitz.com.

The goals we want to achieve are numerous. Beginning with the construction and linking of all blogs and websites, Powerfitz.com is now ready to develop the best methods to acquire new customers and readers who look to Powerfitz Blog Mall for their informational and product needs from the directory of products and services we are best known for.

Blogging
Drag Racing
Costumes
Holidays
Affiliate Programs
Commission Junction
Coin Collecting
Nitrous Oxide
Shopping
Social Networks
SEO
Keywords
Linking

These are some of the subjects that can be found to have great information posted from the Netter on all the blogs and sites that the Netter is responsible for developing.

In order to achieve some of the results that are needed to be successful, the smart blogger will now what they can understand, and what they cannot. The best way to start is for free. The Netter began in 1998 with free Yahoo Geocities sites to develop a program of news and announcements for a successful autoparts and auto show company. The use of the internet was for marketing and sales leads. Through the beneficial ranking of Yahoo, the business grew, and The Netter was successful.

In 2008, an new program of marketing and product information from Powerfitz.com was established in partnership with Houston Banquet Planner.com. These two companies are operated by A.W.E. Enterprises in Houston Texas. The Netter comes from a team of internet gurus who are bringing success to the new endeavors that have become the Powerfitz Blog Mall.

The long list of blogs and sites that are updated daily by The Netter is growing. The need for concise messaging and news from The Netter shows how a complete linked package of news, information, affiliate programs, and great internet reports on the subjects we love drives the future productivity.

The Netter Report Vol 15 5th Edition ~ Where are you going to grow next?

To get the best results of all your efforts of online business growing, collect all the work you have done to-date and get it organized. Sure, there might be one good program, and a dozen bad programs, but by having a central place to send all your collected visiotrs to, you can begin to see the benefits of diversity in numbers.

Do you have a website? Do you also have a blog or two? Social Network profiles? Pay-per-click, affiliate programs? everything AND the kitchen sink can be found in monst active marketers portfolio. What separates the good from the great, is an ability to brand them all together under one roof for all to see. While visitors come and go from one place to another, put all your eggs in one basket, and find out how much more business you can get by association.

Powerfitz has been promoting a number of different opportunities to earn income online. Products, programs, and the like have become quite the base of information for a number of visitors who look for similar subjects. As the promotions continue, the major search engines will follow the lead of the traffic, and indexing will begin under the singular identity.

Suggesting that you stop what you are doing to get going on this project is not what we reccommend. Always stay on top of the best performers, and then intergrate the poor performers in properly placed locations to increase total traffic over the known network. Once you know what gets the best return, you can begin to adjust links and offers to the more prominent location in hopes of attracting more visitors to the whole.

The Netter has been promoting Powerfitz as a portal to all the information and networks created from the work that was done previously, and the work that will be done in the future. Pay attention to traffic and requests for information, and you can begin to customize your business information to generate more business online.

What works best is a lot of hard work.

The hopes and dreams of webmasters everywhere is to oneday make it big doing what they love to do (considering all the time they do it). Now that they plan is composed, and the pieces are built, bringing them all together into one cohesive brand is going to be the hard part if it fails, but the best part if it succeeds.

The Netter has reported to many viewers that their ability can only be overshadowed by their tenacity and strength. Giving up before getting going will never achieve for you the benefis of success. Getting to the top has all the cons of starting at the bottom. Put together the pieces, work the plan, and work it some more if you truly expect to become successful with the online endeavors you may have.
