This is the fifth post in the new blog expert series called: Successful Corporate Blogs and we talk about a technique that many people ignore.
Many internet marketers discuss ways of building loyal fans. That is improtant I agree but…if you want to build a bigger income…you need to build loyal relationships.
I truely believe successful Internet marketing is not only about building strong relationships with potential customers (i.e. loyal fans), it’s also about building relationships with other people within your niche.
You know how you always see Internet marketers selling products about how to make money online and it seems all they do is make money by teaching how to make money?
Yeah, I’m pretty skeptical too, and that’s why I like this video.
In the second half of this video Yaro Starak takes you behind the scenes of two case studies of people who are using his online marketing principles to build businesses in unique niches:
- Fran Kerr is helping people treat acne with alternative methods
- Jay Jay is a professional illusionist and magician, who teaches people his tricks using online video
This is a must have resource if you are serious about your blog. Whether you are running a blog for fun, to enhance your career prospects by showcasing your skills and expertise or have a blog to make money, article writing is what it’s all about.
Yet article writing is a skill that lost its way a bit. The telephone took over as prime communications tool from the written letter. People spoke more than they wrote. Then slowly but surely as the world shrunk and communication was now possible across all time zones and countries the written word became important again.
There are numerous factors that determine whether you are successful on-line or not. Factors like getting enough traffic to your site, having the correct SEO set-up, having a great sales page.
So just imagine:
- you are the best copywriter in the world and you have created a phenomenal sales page
- you have set up your site perfectly with the best keywords and optimization and Google loves your site
- your site receives the highest traffic for any website on the net
But…you are still not selling!
Imagine that!
Why aren’t you selling?

Credible?
In a recent post I talked about, your Credibility Starts With Your Name.
And you have to have credibility in your expertise.
Having professional credibility is the one concept that most Internet marketers know about and take to heart. They understand that in order to be able to sell your own eBook on a topic you have to have some credibility as an expert in this field.
There are a fair number of Internet marketers who know this, but who think because it is the Internet they can get away with pretending to be an expert. And many do get away with it and manage to sell bogus products to many people.

Are your opt-in's increasing?
Internet marketers, unless they got stuck in the last century, already know how effective and important a tool a sequential autoresponder can be. However, here is one way to use it that might not have occurred to you or it might have but you decided against using it.
There is no secret to this particular online marketing strategy. It has been around for a while. It’s the simplicity that makes people like yourself consider it nor worth using. You might even have thought it doesn’t work or possibly that it’s worn out and therefore no longer effective. If that describes you, you might want to rethink that.

By the end of today this will be all mine!
I am so excited!
In fact, I am shaking.
I just cannot believe it but…by the end of today I will be rich beyond my wildest dreams.
How?
Why?
I received an email saying I won on the Spanish Lottery. I don’t know how, but who cares.
I am a millionaire.
I always knew life would turn out great.
Here’s the email. I’ve hidden names and number because you might ring them up and claim MY PRIZE.

They go together, work together and the results are 10 times more successful.
In a recent posting I discussed the obstacles we have to overcome as Internet Marketers.
Article Marketing can be the one key you need to finally become successful in Internet Marketing. Internet Marketing and Article Marketing go hand in hand because using articles to market yourself, your website or your affiliate products is absolutely crucial in creating a complete Internet marketing solution.
During my ‘on-line’ life I have established a vast number of friends and colleagues, one of which is Adam Wong.
Adam Wong is a typical example of how anyone, regardless or age and experience can realize their dreams if they simply just use the right strategies and take massive action.
In his early years, he invested in himself and attended several ‘Wealth’ programs.
But Adam didn’t do what 99% of individuals do when they finish learning about a topic. He did what only 1% of the population do…he took took massive action and applied everything he’d been taught.
