Learning from the Wealthiest Man Who Ever Lived

King Solomon was acclaimed as the wisest and the wealthiest man to have ever lived. These are two characteristics (wisdom and wealth) that we all learn about this ruler of Israel, the son of King David.

You have the same ability to accomplish your dreams simply by learning the keys to King Solomon’s success? What could you accomplish by learning how to apply these keys to your life? These Keys to Success, written by King Solomon in The Proverbs and in The Book of Ecclesiastes, will help you become successful in every area of your life. Thousands of millionaires attribute their success to their study of King Solomon’s Proverbs.

Every day we hear hundreds of preachers and coaches who preach and teach that you can be successful and prosper but there are few who actually teach the ‘how to’ part. They will quote scripture after scripture that tells you that you can be successful. However, no one tells you how to become successful – the practical application of these principles as they apply to your life.

We’re need to study the Biblical ‘how to’ book and use it (apply it) to everyday life. If you follow these keys, read carefully, you will succeed at whatever you try. You will become healthy, wealthy and wise.

It does not matter if you are a graduate of a University or barely scraped by the GED test. It doesn’t matter whether you have $20,000.00 dollars to invest or you have $0.20 to invest. All that matters is that you believe that God wants for you to succeed and, if you stick to the program, you will.

It is essential that we realize that we are physical and spiritual beings. We experience the laws that govern our physical nature and the laws that govern our spiritual nature. The One who created this physical world placed into effect the physical laws, those laws that govern the physical world. He also created the laws that govern the spiritual aspect of our existence. These spiritual laws are more powerful that the physical laws because they also affect the physical world in which we live.

Let’s take a look at the airplane. Aeronautical engineers and aircraft designers know and keep in consideration the dynamic physical laws that govern flight. They have a deep understand these laws of aerodynamics and observe them in detail. The aircraft pilots also know and abide by these undeniable physical laws. Suppose they did not keep these physical laws of aerodynamics. The flight would not only be short but it would be deadly one. The physical laws that govern this world are strictly enforced and we can see them observed on a day to day basis.

Wise ole King Solomon discovered that there are also ‘living laws’ or ‘laws of living’ that govern our lives on a daily basis. He informs us that they must be followed stringently because they are strictly enforced, just as the physical laws. Your belief or disbelief of the physical laws that govern the universe does not change the fact that they exist. Should we can choose to ignore them we will definitely suffer the drastic consequences. It does not matter whether we believe or disbelieve the ‘living laws’ that govern our daily lives, they exist and are enforced. We can ignore them but, again, the consequences are dramatic.

If you are satisfied with your life and you feel that there is nothing more that you can, would, could or should do, you do not need to continue reading. If you want to be successful in life through the guidance and tutelage of the Master of the Universe, and you feel that by enhancing your understanding of God your relationship with Him will deepen, continue reading. Wisdom is supreme and, no matter what the cost, we must seek understanding. When we delight in the Lord, He will give us the desires of our hearts. This does not mean the fleshy materialistic desires. This means the true desires. Through this study, we’re going to seek first the Kingdom of Heaven because we know (Jesus told us) that everything else will be added to us.

Studying The Wisdom of God will qualify us as ‘Good Stewards’ of God’s property. As you progress in your study, you will become a good steward of great wealth. By applying Solomon’s Principles of Success found in the Book of Proverbs, we can attain an even greater level of success.

I must also incorporate a warning here. If you study these laws and ignore them, you are setting yourself up for disaster. It is better that you make a commitment now to develop the attitude of success and stick to it. You will succeed. God has given you the wisdom through His Holy Bible to succeed.

A Study of Marketing Basics Using King Solomon’s Principles

With a little study we can see that there are several concepts and misconceptions about marketing that need to be addressed before we get into the meat of this article. The basic concept of marketing is ‘the diversity of activities used in assuring that we are meeting the needs of our clients and that we are getting a valuable return in response.’ A major misconception of marketing is that it only entails ‘advertising your product or service.’ Advertising is important, however, it is only one component in the process of marketing.

We can define the core meaning of marketing as ‘understanding’ your clients’ needs and ‘developing’ a plan that effectively addresses those needs. By understanding marketing in this way, a business owner who desires to see his business ‘grow’ can set the proper goals.

The most effective way to grow or expand a business is to focus on ‘organic growth.’ In order to understand ‘organic growth’, we need to realize that a business is a living organism. We can either let it fend for itself or we can determine what it needs to help it grow. By determining what the business needs we can thus determine what we need to do to make it thrive.

Let’s look at two basic elements of marketing to help us get a better idea of the activities that we need to do to create a successful business. The first element of marketing that we need to consider is ‘developing a marketing plan.’ The second element is your ‘ongoing promotion.’ A serious mistake that many business owners make is to create a product or service and immediately begin an advertising campaign. After a further explanation of these two basic elements, you’ll understand why this mistake can be a disappointing and costly one.

Developing a ‘marketing plan’ or ‘marketing strategy’ is essential to the well being of a business. The first step in creating a marketing plan is to do a little research and analysis. Don’t slap yourself on the forehead in exasperation. This is not as difficult as the name implies. It may take a little time but is well worth every minute.

Let’s begin by looking at a simplified explanation of ‘marketing analysis.’ We can apply two of Solomon’s Keys to Success at this point.

Proverbs 1:5 (Amplified Bible) “The wise also will hear and increase in learning, and the person of understanding will acquire skill and attain to sound counsel [so that he may be able to steer his course rightly]” Wise counsel can be found in many forms. We should also remember, for those of us who think we understand better than others, “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who listens to counsel is wise.” Proverbs 12:15 (Amplified Bible)

A well planned market analysis contains the following:

1.) Determining our ‘market’ or the groups of potential clients that exist,

2.) Decide which of these groups of customers fit our marketing preference (target markets),

3.) Determining the needs of our target market,

4.) Developing the best products or services that might meet the needs of our target market,

5.) Determining how our potential customers might use our products and services,

6.) Understanding what our competitors are doing,

7.) Determining the pricing structure that we should use and

8.) Decide on a plan for the distribution products and services to your target markets.

There are numerous methods of ‘market research’ that can be used to gather information concerning markets, target markets and customer needs, competitors’ products, etc. The ease of Internet research will reveal many sources of specific information. We must target our searches on the Internet search engines. This can be accomplished by beginning from a broad area of possibilities and with each subsequent search get more specific until we have discovered as much as possible about our market in general and specifically our target market. The resulting information will determine our ‘niche’ market, our specific area of a market that is best for our product or service.

After having developed our marketing plan, we should look at our plan for ‘ongoing promotions.’ Our plan for ongoing promotion will include advertising, public relations, sales and customer service to name a few. These terms (advertising, marketing, promotion, public relations and publicity, and sales) can easily become confusing. These are terms that are often used interchangeably. However, they refer to different but similar activities.

Let’s look at a list of quick definition of each term.

1.) Advertising — presenting a product (or service) to potential and current clients. Advertising needs to be focused on a particular product or service. We must understand that an advertising plan for one product will be different from that for another product. Advertising is usually done with signs, brochures, commercials, direct mailings or e-mail messages, personal contact, website banners, etc.

2.) Promotion — Promotion can be defined as the tasks that maintain the product in the minds of the customer (product recognition). The ongoing effort of advertising, sales and public relations are often considered aspects of promotions.

3.) Public Relations — ongoing activities to ensure the company has a strong and positive public image. This is often referred to as “PR.”

4.) Publicity — being mentioned in the media. This is always the review of someone else but can include news releases.

These are a few of the many terms that need to be learned. The health and well being of our business, your business, is determined by the extent of diligent study that you do and the application of the principles that you learn through study. To best know your product or service or clients or competitors, you must develop a sincere determination to become as diligent as possible.

Remember these principles in Solomon’s Proverbs to help you develop a growing and successful business.

Proverbs 10:4 (NLT) “Lazy people are soon poor; hard workers get rich.”

Proverbs 12:24 (The Amplified Bible) “The hand of the diligent will rule, but the slothful will be put to forced labor.”

Proverbs 13:4 (NASB) “The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the soul of the diligent is made fat.”

Proverbs 21:5 (NASB) “The plans of the diligent lead surely to advantage, but everyone who is hasty comes surely to poverty.”

Memorize this last Proverb. It will help you to focus on the tasks at hand.

Promoting these affiliate products on the INTERNET is really a pretty simple thing to do. There are plenty of INFORMATION PRODUCTS on the INTERNET that lay out various methods for doing it. A combination of these techniques applied consistently with persistence could make a person a WEALTHY AFFILIATE.

Affiliate Marketing – 3 Proven Practices to Profit Online

Affiliate marketers are always looking for a successful market that will provide ongoing profits. Affiliate marketing isn’t rocket science, but you do need to have a strategy. It takes proven marketing practices and perseverance.

Proven methods for online marketing continue to work today. With these top three affiliate marketing tips, increase sales and do extremely well with affiliate marketing online.

Practice #1 – Always use unique web pages to market each separate product you’re promoting. Don’t lump all your products on one website or page. Web hosting is very inexpensive and you’ll do much better by having each product displayed on one site.

Include product reviews on your site. In this manner, visitors will feel that you have used the product and have an opinion.

Include testimonials from users who have already tried the product. Be sure the testimonial customers are more than willing to allow you to use their names and photos on the site. If you’re just starting out, you may be able to find testimonials on the product owner’s website.

Write articles outlining the use of the product and put them on the website. Make the pages eye-catching, persuasive and ask them to act on the information. Each headline should compel the reader and encourage them to read even more. Always emphasize the benefits of the product.

Offer free reports to your readers. If possible position them at the very top side of your page so they simply cannot be missed. You can also use these as autoresponder messages that will be mailed to those who input their personal information into your sign up box. According to research, a sale is closed usually on the seventh contact with a prospect. So, it’s very important to have an autoresponder.

Practice #2 — Only two things can happen when a potential customer visits your web page: either you will make the sale or the prospect will leave the page and likely, never return again. By sending useful information to their email account at certain specified periods, you’ll remind them of the product they may have wanted at a later date. Be sure that the content is directed toward specific reasons to buy the product and don’t make it sound like a sales pitch.

Make sure that they opt-in to your autoresponder before they can download the free reports you’re offering. Spotlight important areas like how the product can make their life easier and more enjoyable. Incorporate convincing subject lines into your messages. Whenever possible, don’t use the word “free.” There are still old spam filters that will get rid of the message before your prospect will have a chance to read it.

Practice #3 — There should be a major focus on targeting the traffic to your website based on your product. When the people visiting your site have little or no interest in what you’re offering, you won’t make sales and they won’t come back. Post articles to ezine publications and article directories. This is really an easy way to market and can be extremely effective and lucrative.

Try to write a minimum of 2 articles per week, of at least 300-600 words in length. By continuously writing and maintaining these articles you can generate as many as 100 targeted readers to your site in a day. In fact, if you click on one of the links in the resource box below, you can learn how to generate a lot more than 100 readers with one article. Always remember that only 1 out of 100 people are likely to buy your product or get your services. If you can generate as much as 1,000 targeted hits for your website in a day, that means you can make 10 sales based on the average statistic. If you consider that you can make about $25 on an average priced Clickbank product and you multiply your daily earnings by 30 days per month, that’s $7,500 per month. Not bad for a little bit of persistence and article writing.

The practices I’ve outlined are not very difficult to do. They just require a little time and an action plan on your part.

Try to use these tips for several affiliate marketing programs. You will create a good source of income if you just have a plan and perseverance. Most affiliate marketers fail because they do not have a plan or they are lazy. Just think of the huge paychecks you will be receiving!

Make Money With Adwords New Strategies

Anyone wanting to make money with Adwords needs to keep in touch with the new strategies hitting the internet, as well as Google’s own policy changes.

In 2007 it was ‘kill your competitors’ with Day Job Killer and then the many and varied spy systems that tracked your competitors’ ads so that you could copy them and blast them out of the water. Some of these systems were on a hugely expensive membership plan.

So there were a lot of advertisers who could not afford those systems or maybe simply did not want to spend all of their time tracking, spying and tweaking in order to cover the cost of their membership. They began to look around for a new direction, and early in 2008 we saw the first hints that marketers were rediscovering something that they had previously considered dead – the content network.

If you are new to Adwords, you may not realize that the content and search networks were once one and the same. Google divided them so that advertisers could have more control in the days when click fraud was prevalent, and most advertisers immediately turned off the content network for their ads.

However, times have changed and click fraud is no longer a serious problem. Google now shuts down any Adsense account suspected of ‘invalid clicks’. This is bad news for the Adsense site owners who can now be put out of business by any bored visitor who repeatedly clicks on their ads. But for Adwords advertisers, it means that the content network is up for grabs again.

The content network has several advantages over the search network. First, the cost per click is generally lower. Second, you do not have to fight off the competition in the same way. Third, you have a lot more control – you can specify the exact sites where you want your ad to show.

The last point here is vital and it is strongly recommended that you specify target sites for all of your ads when you are using the content network – and not just the sites, but the precise pages of that site.

Just like advertising on the search network, you want to make sure that the people who see your ad are very interested in your product. You don’t want untargeted clicks. So for example if you are promoting an exercise treadmill, you want your ad on a fitness site, but not on pages about weight training.

It is also better to limit your advertising to sites that display their Adsense above the fold – that is, the ads are visible on the screen without scrolling down. Toward the top left of the screen is the hottest area, that’s where you really want your ad to be.

How to Build a Huge Opt-In Email List and Increase Your Profit

Many people just getting started in internet marketing do not realize the critical importance of building a quality opt-in mailing list. They think it is enough to be making sales from their salespage. While it is good to make sales directly from your site, you will lose a large percentage of your future customers if you fail to build an opt-in mailing list.

Obtaining a list allows you to keep in contact with your visitors and build a relationship with them. If properly done, this can convert a high percentage of your prospects into customers. So what does it take to build a great list quickly and easily? Here are some useful tips:

* Offer incentives when possible for people to leave their name and email address. Having an incentive program is an effective way to get people to opt into your list. Offering a special report or free e-book is a very effective and easy to implement. To get the best results, it is always helpful to give them something for signing into your list. This tip alone can easily double the number of sign ups you have.

I see so many people trying to build list with no offering of any kind for opting in. This is a big mistake. Incentives are to easy to create. It just doesn’t make sense not to offer one. Anything with a high perceived value that you offer free will help boost opt-ins by 100% or more. I’ve tried many ways of list building and I can assure you that offering incentives will give you a far superior result.

* Include a clearly written privacy policy. In all likely-hood, the main reason people refuse to leave their contact information is because they are afraid of being spammed. This has been a huge problem on the Internet for years. No one likes spam. If people have any reason to suspect that you will share their email address with others they will usually not let you have it. Give them a rock solid guarantee that you will not share their email address with anyone. This will put to rest the worries of people wanting to avoid spam. At one point I did not have a clearly defined privacy policy, however, after I added one I saw a 61% increase in the number of opt-ins I was receiving. Simple things like this can make a huge difference.

* Create several tightly targeted lists. Few people realize the power of a targeted list option. It depends on what you have to offer on your site, but this is something that if it can be used will greatly affect your opt-in rate. One of the lists options could be for periodic updates, another could include “how to” tips that your prospect would find helpful, while another could be for a newsletter with ongoing information. No matter which option they choose, you will still harvest their email address.

Think about what lists your market might be interested in, then offer those options on your site. A website visitor may have no interest in your generic mailing list but have a much greater interest in your newsletter. If you had not provided multiple options that person would have signed up for nothing. Usually three options are enough. If your visitors have not found something that interests them after three choices they are generally not worth going after.

* Be sure to make all your lists double opt-in. Double (or Verified) opt-in lists require people to first sign up on your site, and then activate their subscription by replying to a confirmation email. There are many good reasons to use the double opt-in format. First of all, it will take away any chance of being labeled a spammer. You can show definitive proof that people actually did requested your emails.

Also, a double opt-in list will generally have higher quality readers, rather than those from a singe opt-in list. The reason for this is because since these subscribers are interested in your messages enough to reply to the confirmation email, they are much more serious about what you offer. Therefore, they will be more responsive to what you have to offer when compared to those who half-heartedly sign up for your list without a lot of interest. Having a high quality list is absolutely critical to making substantial sales.

By putting the above tips into use you will be able to build a massive, high quality list in the shortest amount of time possible. I have personally tested all of these methods and they work marvelously. They will work for you too.

Niche Affiliate Marketing – The Best Way to Get Started

When you finally make the decision to become an online marketer, you’re going to be bombarded with all sorts of terminology regarding different types of marketing. One of the most lucrative of those terms is Niche Affiliate Marketing.

Niche affiliate marketing is the best way to profit online and one of the quickest and easiest things to do. Let me give you a breakdown.

You may already know what affiliate marketing is, but if not, just type that term into any search engine and you’ll find many answers. Affiliate marketing is just marketing somebody else’s products and profiting from each sale. Many affiliate programs will also pay a fee for each click to their website from your link or banner.

Niche affiliate marketing is simply targeting a specific affiliate niche or target market. In other words, you might be interested in sports, but that’s a really large niche. You would be better to look for a niche market a bit more specific like tennis or golf.

When choosing a target or niche market, you need to strike a happy medium. If you get into too small of a niche, you might find there isn’t much to market. For example, if your niche were golf tees, rather than golf in general, you might be limiting your topics and affiliate choices too narrowly.

It might be better to choose the entire golf niche. That way you can sell information about golf courses, golf balls, golf tees, and even target specific golfer products — like Tiger Woods products. By the way, it is, in fact, a very popular niche to be in but be careful, there is also a lot of competition.

Way back in the 1990’s, when the Internet was new and everyone was learning to market online, each of us created everything from scratch. We figured out what the most lucrative keywords were, how to market with them and then designed and built a website, created graphics, and brought traffic to our sites. And, traffic is a whole major niche of its own and I don’t mean the freeway kind!

Things have changed a lot over the last 14 years since I started out online. Today, you can buy packages for niche affiliate marketing that contain precoded niche websites with all the graphics included. All you have to do is load them up to a web host and drive the traffic to them.

Some of these packages also contain prewritten articles and bonus packages to lure your prospects into signing up for a list or purchasing your products. A word of caution, however, be very careful when choosing these packages.

The amazing thing to me is that you really don’t have to pay a lot for these niche affiliate marketing packages and some of them even include training to teach you how to promote them. Well, think about it — the marketer who created the package stands to grow from your efforts when you promote the package, so the training is in his or her best interest.

I highly recommend that when you’re starting out, it will benefit you a great deal to find a package that includes training. Some have very high price tags on them, but those prices don’t really ensure that you’re getting a quality product.

Because of the competitive market today, the prices have gone down while still retaining a great deal of quality.

So, find a good product that includes a pre-designed web page you can load up quickly. Make sure it also has good training to teach you how to market the site. Then you can build a small niche affiliate marketing business around it.

Just do it once and repeat many times. And, over time, your profits will grow and grow. You get the picture!

Promoting Affiliate Ebook Marketing the Right Way

Affiliate ebooks are something that are starting to become quite popular. An Affiliate ebook is an ebook that is written by one person and used by others to promote their affiliate links. The ebook is created to allow a person to insert their affiliate IDs into the ebook. This can be a great way to earn money with affiliate programs.

Affiliate ebooks, though, are only helpful when they are marketed effectively. If nobody reads the ebook then it is not going to generate any money. So, affiliate ebook marketing is important.

Affiliate ebook marketing can be done in many different ways. Typically, the affiliate ebook is going to be given away for free. It is not the ebook a person is looking to make from, but rather their links inside that are the money makers. The ebook is simple a vessel to advertise the affiliate links.

The best way to take advantage of word of mouth marketing is to have good product. It is clear that when a person really likes a product they will tell others about it. So by having a good ebook a person can be guaranteed people will talk about it. This can be done by choosing the ebook wisely or by using an ebook that gives the permission to alter the content. That way a person can rewrite things to make it a better ebook.

If the ebook is being given away for free this makes it even easier to ’sell’ to people. It should be obvious that it is free. If a person sees something for free then they are really likely to give it a second look and even sign up for it.

Word of mouth marketing will only work if people talk and keep talking. A person has to give them something to talk about. It really needs to be compelling and interesting. The ebook should offer them something new, something they can not get anywhere else.

It is easy to add the ebook to a website. All it takes is a little time to put it up on the website and then there is really nothing more to do. The whole process can be automated just as other aspects of the website. It is a free and fast marketing method.

Using an ezine for affiliate ebook marketing is something anyone can do, even if they do not have a ezine themselves. They may find someone who will allow them to advertise for free or at most they may have to pay a little bit to run the ad. However, it will pay off because the person will be reaching their target market.
