3 Reasons Why You Should Add Adsense to Your Website

Filed under: Business Tools, Google Adsense and Adwords — workathomemom at 4:09 pm on Thursday, May 14, 2009

First, let's look at how adsense works.

The concept is really simple, if you think about it. You put script on your website that you get from Google and each time your page is accessed, the java script will pull advertisements from the Adsense program. The ads are matched to target the content on your webpage. If a visitor clicks on an advertisement, you earn a portion of the money that the advertiser is paying the Google for the click.

Google's search engine is the one handling all the tracking and payments, providing an easy way for you to display content-sensitive and targeted ads without having the hassle to solicit advertisers, collect funds, monitor the clicks and statistics which could be a very time-consuming task in itself.

The first reason why Adsense is essential for website owners is because it understanding the needs of publishers and webmasters. The ads are fully customizable and you as webmaster have the choice of many  different types of text ad formats to better complement your website and fit your webpage layout.

The different formatting enables the site owners the possibility of more click through from visitors who may or may not be aware of what they are clicking on. It can also appeal to the people visiting making them take that next step of looking up what it is all about. This is a win/win situation you make money on each click and Google makes money from the advertisers for each click.

The second reason is the ability for you to track not only how your sites are progressing but also the earnings based on your-defined channels. The recent improvements in the Googles search engines gives you the capability to monitor how your ads are performing using customizable reports that has the capacity to detail page impressions, clicks and click-through rates. You and publishers can now track specific ad formats, colors and pages within a website. Trends are also easily spotted.

Everything is done in real-time reporting, changes made can be assessed quickly. There is time to sort out the contents that people are making the most clicks on. The ever-changing demands can be met while generating cash for the webmasters and publishers. The more flexible tools are also allowing webmasters to group web pages by URL, domain, ad type or category, which will provide them some accurate insight on which pages, ads and domains are performing best.

The third and final reason is that the advertisers have realized the benefits associated with having their ads served on individual websites. Increasing the possibility that a prospective web surfer will have an interest in their product and services. All because of the content of your website and its constant maintenance.

Adsense is all about targeted content, the more targeted your content is, the more target the search engines’ ads will be. There are some web masters and publishers who are focused more on their site contents and how best to maintain them to generate ad profits. This is the part where the effectiveness of adsense is working at its best.

There was a time when people were not yet aware of the money that could be achieved from advertisements. The cash generated back then came in more by luck then by webmasters actually working on building sites that would bring money in on purpose.

Article Writing: Top 5 Skills Demanded by Businesses and How to Cash In

Filed under: Being A WAHM, Business Tools, Ghostwriting, Starting a Business, What Business to Start? — workathomemom at 11:43 am on Saturday, April 18, 2009

I just read a recent hiring trend report from Elance.com hiring trends for February and found that article writing is one of the top 5 skills that businesses are outsourcing to freelancers.

It's really no surprise, especially since Elance caters mostly to online businesses. After all, what is the Internet made of? Images and WORDS and it's those words that are crucially important.

And believe me, most Internet marketers don't have either the skill or the time to write - or both and that means a lucrative opportunity for people like you with some writing skills.

But outside of article writing, there are other in-demand skills for online ghostwriting, such as copy writing, blogs, press releases, email marketing, white papers and more. This means less competition for you and more opportunities to specialize and actually charge MORE for your services.

If you've been thinking of breaking into ghostwriting and doing it quickly, I recommend this guide to ghostwriting. It will show you:

- How to market your services without spending on advertising
- Where to find clients with deep pockets
- Why and how to put up a professional website
- Which industries are virtual gold mines for ghostwriters
- How much to charge to actually make profit
- How to set yourself apart from your competition
- How to develop your portfolio especially when you haven't had a single client yet

and more!

To have a successful ghostwriting business, you need the right tools and strategies that successful entrepreneurs use. This guide gives you the stories of two successful ghostwriters who earn a full-time income writing from home. Not only are they inspirational, but they give some great tips too.

The best part is, because this guide is written for Moms, the price is just right. In fact, you'll easily earn back the cost of this guide with your first writing assignment. I better just stop writing about it and let you check it out yourself. Click here to learn more about the Just Add Sweat Home Business Ideas for Women, Get Paid To Write: Become A Ghostwriter.

Can You Imagine This?

Filed under: Business Tools, Network Marketing — workathomemom at 12:39 pm on Tuesday, April 7, 2009

I want you to picture gazing out your window, past the patio, out onto the serene waters of the lake below.The day is just beginning, and the sun continues its routine ascension through the cloudless sky.

A gentle wind meanders its way through your bedroom as you hear the rhythmic chorus of the waves caressing the dock. You glance at the clock and consider rolling out of your warm bed. After all, you’re on no one else’s schedule but your own.

You won’t get punished by anyone for staying buried underneath your cozy comforter and

falling back asleep.

------------------------------------------
IT’S COMPLETELY
UP TO YOU!
------------------------------------------
“The dock just looks too appealing,” you think to yourself. So you fix a cup of coffee, head through the back yard, and waltz down the wooden stairway.The sun bathed pine toasting your bare feet. As you sit there, completely relaxed, soaking everything in, you contemplate the day ahead.

-Two Squidoo lenses to work on.

-A couple of YouTube videos to upload.

-An article to submit to EzineArticles.com.

“This stuff doesn’t even seem like “real work” anyways,” you think to yourself.

You return to the cabin for some breakfast. But before pouring a bowl cereal you log-in to your distributor account to check stats for

the past week:

9 new sign-ups.

$12,789.82 in product sales.

$6,567.16 in total commissions due.

You can’t believe this is real.

------------------------------------------
“AM I DREAMING RIGHT NOW?
HAVE I REALLY EARNED THE
RIGHT TO ALL OF THIS?”
------------------------------------------

with it!

Besides, you’ve worked hard to become a master at internet network marketing and lead-generation.

A true solutions provider who gives “value”to your prospects BEFORE you ask them to buy from you or join your opportunity.

You might be thinking to yourself:“You don’t know my situation or even me personally! I’m barely scraping by as it is and you’re telling me I can live this ‘make-believe’ lifestyle where all my problems go away.

This isn’t even a realistic possibility.”

Well guess what?

Yes, it is!

3 Strategies for Successful Selling on your Website

Filed under: Being A WAHM, Business Tools, Selling and Sales — workathomemom at 5:26 pm on Friday, April 3, 2009

1) The first successful selling strategy is a website that provides information about the products and the service they are providing. The advantage of that is we can sell those products and services online.

Selling is a talent to be cultivated. It requires a lot of understanding to find what the customer is looking for and then fulfilling his needs.

It is very important to get the complete attention of reader. The content of the message should be make reader think.

This can be achieved by using power words, along with color and visuals. Once the attention is grabbed, it should be retained till the end of the message. The customer should be prompted to take some action and their involvement should be sought. They can be made to sign up for newsletters or can be made to take the survey by visiting the company’s website.

2) The consumer should be convinced to buy the product. All the features of the company should be specified, with the more relevant ones on the top. They should be explained logically through these points how the products will fulfill their needs or solve their problems. It does only by convincing the customer about this will motivate them to buy the product.

They should be made to understand what wonders the product can do to him. Strong emotional words should be included in the sentence. The customer should either fear the loss of the product if he doesn’t buy it in time or he should be given the greed of the advantages the product can provide.

These reasons will create an emotional impulse and will make them think that they have no other option to buy it. They will have a logical reason to make the purchase. The emotions of the buyer should be manipulated with words.

Something like limited edition or limited period offer will create a sense of urgency. The customer thinks that he should get this product somehow. It’s nice to have sales often, especially to clear out old inventory in the name of some offer. The products which have an obvious damage should be sold out at a special price. But the damage should be mentioned to the customer. If it’s not mentioned, the first time the customer will be tricked into buying something, but he will loose trust and won’t come back again.

Always hold seasonal sales and offers. Since all the competitors will be giving out different offers to attract customers, it’s a good point to have one, too. But it should be remembered to not to imitate anyone. Only a unique offer will make the customers not go to the competitors’. Once in a while offer free shipping offer also works. A condition like if a customer spends particular amount of money, all items will be shipped for free. This is another attractive deal which will surely tempt the customer.

Thanks to search engines and online stores anything can be purchased from the comfort of the home. Give away free sample to the customers or keep a pre-sale price for introductory products. The customers won’t think twice to spend a little money to try something new.

3) The ending of the sales message is where most people mess it up. The whole efforts will be wasted if the customer gets a second thought. He should be convinced, by nice words, to buy the product till the very end. The content should be arranged with care. The key is to tell the customer what to do exactly after he finishes reading the matter, like ‘Grab the golden opportunity now’ or ‘pick up the phone and dial the number right now’, etc.

Do not include links or short advertisement of other products or services. This will shift the focus of the reader and he might have a second thought. A list of the existing customers should be maintained and from time to time special offers should be mailed to them. So basically the whole idea is to influence the mind of the customer until he buys a product.
