3 Secrets for Creating a Successful Newsletter that will Bring You a Nice Online Profit (Part 1)

Creating a successful newsletters, like everything else, has a formula for success. If you don't follow it, your newsletter probably will be just another newsletter that your subscribers will hit the "Delete" button and send it to their mailbox trash. However if you follow the same formula that other highly successful newsletters are using, your subscribers will read your every newsletter issue, love it, and even recommend it to their friends.

So would you like to discover the top 3 secrets of this formula to make your newsletter highly successful?

Then let's get started...


Secret 1 - Give Your Newsletter a Shining Personality
When I compared different highly successful newsletters in different topics, I found a similar very interesting trait in all of them…

Having a personality.

So what does it mean?

It means the author makes his newsletter unique by letting his personality shine through his every word in his newsletter. You see, we are humans and it's a proven fact that people are interested in people. We don't like to read a faceless newsletter who we can't feel a connection with – like a robot has written it.

We want to feel there has been a real person just like ourselves behind the keyboard typing those words. We want to feel we know that person.

How Can You Give a Personal Voice to Your Newsletter?

That's not difficult. Here are some ideas...

Include a section at the beginning of your newsletter called "Editor's Notes". It's where you always get a chance to say "hi" and talk to your subscribers from a more personal level. Here are some other creative names for this section that I've heard...
(For example the editor's name is Mike)

• Greetings from Mike

• Mike's Friendly Corner

• Coffee Break

• Mike's Ramblings

• On The Personal Note

The list can go on and on.

Another good idea is to include your photo in your newsletter. You can just include a small photo of yourself in the Editor's Notes section. (Of course you'll need to have an HTML newsletter to be able to include pictures.)

Also you can talk about some recent things that are happening in your life. For example if it's near Christmas, let your readers know what your plans are for the holidays. In the upcoming weeks before Christmas, tell you readers what you're going to do.

Secret 2 - Provide Helpful Content that Your Readers Want
Want to have a newsletter with thousands of fans and loyal readers?

Then simply give your readers helpful information that they want.

What does it mean?

It's simple. Everybody knows you should offer helpful content in your newsletter.

But what few people pay attention to, is giving their readers what really want. Because not every helpful information is what your readers want. Let's say you publish a newsletter about cars. You keep including information and pictures for Mercedes Benz in issue after issue.
The information and pictures are really cool and useful. So you think your readers love it.

But without you knowing this, there is a problem with that…

85% of your readers are interested in Ferrari – and not even a bit interested about Mercedes Benz. So imagine how frustrating it is for them to hear all about Mercedes Benz in your newsletter week after week.

See the problem here?

That's why you should not only provide helpful content, but also the information that your readers really want. Otherwise, it will be like giving very valuable information about growing a coconut tree to Eskimos. Your information is still very helpful – but not to your readers.

Most newsletter publishers give their readers what they think their readers want… which is by the way 80% not right. So How can you discover what your readers really want?

Simply ask them!

Yes, you can run a simple and easy survey from your list and ask them what they want to find most in your newsletter. You'll be surprised about the responses. You can simply create your survey outline by email and send it to your list and ask them to reply back, or if you want to look more professional and get more response, you can simply use SurveyMonkey. It's a great survey service that I have personally used and have seen other big newsletter publishers use too. So find out what your readers most like to hear about, and then give it to them. Then I promise you will have a big list of fans and loyal happy readers behind you.

Now let's get to the last newsletter success secret.

Secret 3 - Use a Professional, Reader Friendly Newsletter Design
I still can't believe how many honest, hard-working newsletter publishers spend hours on writing and preparing each issue and still kill their efforts and results by using a poor newsletter design for their newsletter.

It's like you spend years of your life writing an awesome book and then when it comes to choosing a cover for it, you use a very cheap and low-quality paper and write the book title in handwriting on its cover.

Wouldn't it be insane?

Still, some people do the same with their newsletter. Even if the newsletter content is very helpful, people won't still read it because they are turned off by the low quality and cheap looking design so much that assume the content will be as bad as the design. Or maybe the design is so bad that hurts their eye to read the articles – like too small text or a cluttered look that confuses them which part is where.

So what about you?
Is your newsletter design really professional? Or maybe it is killing your newsletter readership...

Final Thoughts
So now you know the top 3 secrets to have your own highly successful newsletter...

2. Provide Helpful Content that Your Readers want
3. Use a Professional Design for Your Newsletter

So now you are armed with powerful information that can help you transform your newsletter success.

6 Website Mistakes You must Avoid when Making Money Online

Have you ever heard from website owners that their websites getting thousands of visitors every day but making only a few buck daily? Something must be no right to their websites. They must have made some sort of website mistakes or they will not make that little with the massive number of visitors they get daily. I'm sure you don't want to become one of them that have spent a hard time on generating traffic but only earning little from the large amount of traffic they generated.

To make you money making website work, you must properly optimize your site and avoid making mistakes in your website. Speaking about website mistakes, below are some of mistakes you must avoid:

1) Too many outdated content - You should remove information and content that already outdated or no longer useful to your site visitors. And update your website when you have found latest information that your visitors like to read and know. Both, the search engines and visitors like fresh content. So you should consider publishing new quality articles on an ongoing basis. Publishing fresh and quality articles not only will help in keeping your traffic growing but also will increase your pay-per-click (PPC) advertising revenue as PPC ads work best with quality content.

2) JavaScript pop ups- A JavaScript pop up is a notification window that automatically opens when you visit a website that states and message ; and has an “ok” button at the end. This was very popular during the website boom, but quickly become a no-no because JavaScript pop up is annoying to many visitors and it has been over used by webmasters. Usually these pop ups aren't seen as important by the visitors. In most cases these pop ups do nothing but disturbing visitors thus easily annoying them. However, if you have a message that need to display to your visitors before they can go further on your website, then a JavaScript pop up may still be a good idea, but I strongly caution you to not overuse it, if you use it at all.

3) Too many graphics and pictures - Adding too many graphics and photos to your site can lower your website loading speed. Visitors don't like to wait too long to get into a site, many of them will choose to leave your site and look for another. Also a percentage of web visitors are still in dial-up connection, which means they will have trouble downloading websites that have large number of graphics. Unless your website is in flash, I would try to avoid using any type of animated graphic, since they typically have large file sizes.

4) Using heavy, high contracting colors- High contracting colors would grab the visitors attention but they can also hurt the users eyes, making them uncomfortable and swaying them away from the website. So you need to limit the use of high contracting colors. Areas that you shouldn't use these colors are your website background, the text areas and the navigation sidebar. For title and headline, using high contracting colors is a good idea to get your visitors attention.

5) Clutter up pages - If your website seems be cluttered visitors will be less likely to view further into your website, especially if they think they will have to weed out the information they need from the information that is useless to them. You do not want to have too much information and content in each page, and you don't want more then one topic on each. A good navigation system will eliminate any problem you have.

6) Too many ads appear on your site - Users usually visit website for information and not ads, so a website that has more ads than content will definitely drive people away. Visitors do not want to have to weed though the ads to find the content that they are looking for. You need to maintain a balance between ads and content that show on on your site. The irony of the situation is: A visitor is more likely to click on an advertisement link if they do not feel that they are being bombarded by them. This is defiantly a situation where the saying “less is more” is true.

4 Money Making Ideas You can Use to Profit Online (Part 1)

You’ve probably heard this saying before – lather, rinse and repeat – and that’s exactly what you should do. When you find a way to make money that works for you, repeat the process over and over again in different niches and/or with different products.

These methods are not hard to do, but they will require some effort on your part, as does anything else.

With that said, let’s jump right in…

1. Answer a question
That almost sounds too simple, doesn’t it? Here’s what I mean…
Visit forums, Yahoo groups, MySpace or other social networking sites. Find out what kinds of questions people are asking or what kind of information they’re interested in.

Then write a report that answers their questions. Or put together a short web page with reviews of 3 or 4 different products that will answer their questions. (This way they’ll have a choice of which one to buy.) Of course, each product on the web page will contain your affiliate link.

No matter which method you choose, simply add a link to your sales letter or review page in your signature file at the forum or group. (Don’t blatantly advertise, though, because you don’t want to get banned for spamming.) Use an enticing line of text that links to your web page so people will be interested enough to click your link.

Here’s an example:
Let’s say the forum you visit has hundreds of people interested in learning how to make an “old fashioned” craft item of some sort, but they can’t find directions anywhere. The members continuously ask if anyone there has a pattern, so you can see that this is a “hot topic” at this forum and probably at others, too.

You happen to be an expert on making this particular item, or you know where you can find instructions for it, so you simply write a report detailing how to make it. Or you can do some research and locate an ebook (or a couple of them) that is exactly what the forum members are looking for, then create a quick web page reviewing the product(s), using your affiliate links so when they buy you get the commission.

Then take few hours daily to browse and post relevant content in the form of answers to members’ questions or by asking your own questions and posting comments. You’ll have the link to your web page in your signature file and if you use a line of text such as “Let Me Show You How to Make (name of craft item)” people will click your link and you’ll make sales.

2. Find a need for a service, then provide that service
You’ll make money selling the instructions for making that old fashioned craft item I used as an example in quick profit idea #1, but you can also take this a step further… why not locate groups of people who are NOT interested in making the item, but rather, in buying the item?

You’ll have to search out other forums or groups of people who buy antiques or crafts, but again, if you see that they’re asking for that item you’ll know you can have a hot seller.

Simply create the product, have someone create it for you or even find some at local garage sales; write your sales letter and then put your link in your signature file. Remember to use an enticing line of text to make people notice it and click the link.

Here’s an example:
Visit forums where Internet marketers hang out. You may be surprised by some of the questions people ask. For instance, many new marketers don’t know how to upload files to a server so they ask how to do it. Many don’t know how to edit html pages or create/update a website. If you’re good at any of those things, offer your services for a small fee. (Don’t forget to use a link in your signature so you’re not spamming the forum.) or… teach them how to do these things for a small fee!

And services like these aren’t just for new marketers who don’t know how to do them. Other people outsource many of these jobs, too, to save themselves time. You might be surprised at how much money you can make by doing small, odd jobs. Remember the old saying “it’s a dirty job, but somebody’s gotta do it.” People will pay someone to do jobs they dislike or don’t know how to do. You can be the Internet’s version of a “handyman.”

3. Write content for profits
With all the free information available on the Internet it might be hard to believe, but some websites will actually pay you for your content!

Do a search for “get paid for content” or “get paid to write articles” and other similar terms in Google and see what comes up. There are sites available that will pay you to write articles or other types of content such as “how to” do something.

Associated Content (http://www.associatedcontent.com) is one such site, but there are others, too. Just be sure to follow their guidelines for the content you submit to them. Some require that it be exclusive content, while others don’t. Some will require a minimum or maximum word length, while others don’t care how long or short it is.

Another idea in this category – write articles on numerous topics and sell them with Private Label Rights. You can target MANY markets this way…

“One size” doesn’t necessarily fit all here. Instead of targeting all marketers with your niche PLR articles, promote each niche’s articles to marketers in that niche by posting messages at forums within the niche market. You can also find webmasters in the niches you write articles for and contact them by email or phone and let them know you sell PLR articles that they might be interested in.

4. Create Your Own Products
Yea, I know… this is something many people are afraid of, but it’s easy if you purchase products with Private Label Rights and then edit them to make them your own.

Since Private Label Rights means you can edit the ebook and add your name as the author, that’s exactly what you need to do to make it your own product.

Simply use the original product as an outline, changing it as you wish, to add more content and personalize it to “sound” like you. Do research, if need be, to get more information on the topic so that you’re sure you’re giving solid information. Be sure you fix any spelling and grammatical errors, too, for a more polished and professional product.

But how do you pick a topic and where do you sell it? The same way I suggested in quick profit ideas #1 and #2 - forums and online groups are a good place to start. In addition to having your link in your signature file look around for potential joint venture partners, too. A quick email to a few of them offering a 50/50 or 60/40 split of any sales they make could bring you a lot of money.

Of course, if you have your own opt-in list then you can just offer it to them if you’d like. But don’t sell yourself short… visit forums and leave your link in your signature file and find website owners to do joint ventures with.
