With the economy somewhat in the tank, and the federal government throwing away even more of our money than they did before, it’s getting even harder to make sales of your products because people are getting scared. They’re afraid to spend money because they’re afraid of what’s coming next. It’s really understandable.

For those of us who are veteran marketers, it means we hit the ground running, look for more and better opportunities, and keep marketing. For those who are new to internet marketing and online business, it means a greater uphill struggle than what you were going through before.

For those of you who would like to improve your sales, and for those who would like to make some new sales, I’d like to tell you about a new product from Russell Brunson that has simply floored me.

It’s called “Do You Suck at Making Money?”

What this free CD does is to teach you how to make money by giving away your products for free.

This is how you do it:

1. Sign up for an account with Trial Pay. (It’s free). If you don’t have any products of your own to submit, then you can always use resale rights products or private label rights.

2.  Get your product approved.  Once it’s been approved, then all you have to do is add the code that Trial Pay gives you to your web page (copy and paste).

Don’t have a website? No problem because Russell Brunson takes you step by step through the “Do You Suck at Making Money CD” and shows you exactly how to build a very simple website that’s free and anyone can set it up.

I have evaluated hundreds of online business opportunities over the years. Many were simply too complicated for my readers (and me!), and that’s the reason my I didn’t share them.

This is very simple though. It’s completely step by step, (all of the instructions on how to get set up is included on the Trial Pay Website), and once you get it set up, all you have to do is promote it.

There are several reasons why you will want the CD though.

First, Russell shows you how to build very simple websites using a free online tool. Everything in this system is drag and drop. You don’t need to know any HTML. Just drag the elements you want to use into the web page, and then edit them. Russell shows you how to do this in the videos.

Another thing I really liked about the CD too is that Russell gives you a crash course in internet marketing to show you how to effectively market your products you’re giving away through Trial Pay, and the techniques are simple enough for those who are new to internet marketing. All of the tools you need to market are free, so that’s another bonus.

(If you can’t wait to get the CD, no problem. Russell also allows you to download the package immediately. That’s how I was able to get started so fast! There’s also a ton of bonuses included.)

As a writer, I think the older you get, the more introverted you get. That’s fine unless you write for a living. Then you don’t have the luxury of being a constant introvert.

(An introvert is someone who enjoys spending time alone as opposed to spending time with others.)

The bottom line is, regardless of whether you are an introvert or not, if you write for a living, you need to let others know about your writing. If you don’t, it won’t sell, and you won’t make any money.

Here are three common mistakes writers make when writing and what to do about it:

1. You don’t market.

It really doesn’t matter how good your writing is, or whether or not it’s the great American Masterpiece. If no one reads it but your Mom, you’ve put in a lot of work for nothing.

It doesn’t take too much effort to learn how to market your business online. Start by learning the basics: what internet marketing is, what the most effective techniques are, and then choose one or two you are interested in doing and delve further.

(Patrice Ann Rutledge’s Web Savvy Writer is a great way to learn how to do this. She uncovers all of the best online techniques for getting started with building a website, and marketing it online.)

2. You market sporadically.

This is especially true of commercial writers. When you’re bogged down with a lot of work to do, it really is hard to spend the time marketing.

The easiest way to overcome this is the 30/60/10 rule. If you write and sell your books, ebooks, etc., then spend 30 percent of your time writing, 60 percent of your time marketing, and 10 percent of your time taking care of administrative tasks.

If you sell writing services, then spend 30 percent of your time marketing, 60 percent of your time writing, and then 10 percent doing your administrative tasks.

Break everything down and commit to spending a little time each day marketing. Your marketing efforts accumulate, and your sources of income won’t completely dry up.

3. When you do market, you’re trying too many marketing techniques at one time.

I bring this one up because for a long time I was guilty of this one. (I did learn a lot along the way, but I didn’t do a very good job of marketing my business.)

When you finally decide to start marketing you writing, then you’re back to tip one. Learn the basics of internet marketing and then try one or two techniques.

As a writer, I found article writing and search engine optimization to be the easiest to do, and it didn’t require learning as many new skills (I read Rutledge’s book).

Regardless of where you are with your writing, if you’re not making any money from it, then now is the time to start marketing.

Google Checkout is Google’s payment processing gateway. You may use this system to process payments for your business and earn more money from your product services and sales.

If you have a Google Adwords account, then you may use Google Checkout to process your payments for free. As I write this, Google recently introduced the payment badge which may be added to your Google Adwords ad. (The badge has been reported to increase clickthrough rates on ads, as well as increase sales through Google Adwords.)

There are several reasons why you may want to consider processing your payments through Google:

First, it’s a pay as you go system. You only pay when someone buys a product or service through your company, and you receive a payment from the customer.

Google Checkout has been reported to reduce shopping cart abandonment because the process is easier for customers. When they buy through a Google Checkout button, all they have to do is log into their Google account. Once the customer pays, you receive notice of the payment. Then all you have to do is process the order.

This system may be used to sell both digital and physical goods, as well a services. There are some goods that Google doesn’t allow you to sell, but it’s clearly spelled out in the terms and conditions.

Payments are convenient for both the buyer and seller because Google Checkout is available in 140 countries throughout the world. Fraud protection is an important element of this service, and buyers are protected against any fraudulent services.

The most important aspect of this payment system for sellers is the ability to create an affiliate program. You may integrate Google Checkout into your system and then integrate an affiliate system on the backend so that affiliates may join your program and make sales for you.

Getting started is easy. If you don’t have a Google account, you need to sign up for one. Once you have signed up, go over to the Google website and search for Google Checkout. Sign into your Google account.

You will need to add a bank account to your Checkout account because Google has to have a way to deposit the money you earn. Add your banking information, as well as any other relevant information Google gives you. This will only take you a few minutes, but it is a crucial part of the setup process.

Once you ave added your account information, then all you have to do is create your payment buttons. Google makes this very easy to do. If you plan to offer an affiliate program, don’t forget to choose from many of the options Google recommends.

Making money with Google Checkout is easy, and if you have an Adwords account, it’s free.

One of the marks of a successful online affiliate is building websites. Years ago when I first got started in internet marketing, building a website really was a pain whether it was a one page sales letter or a content site.

A lot has changed since then with website building. Content management systems make it a breeze now to build websites. However, finding a good script to build an affiliate website is still a chore.

When you do find one, they’re usually out of reach for the average affiliate, or worse, they’re too complicated to install. Store Stacker is not like that at all.

In fact, it’s one of the easiest scripts I’ve ever installed to build websites. What I like the best about it though, is that it’s so easy to customize, and it really allows you to provide the kind of content your potential customers are looking for.

This script allows you to create authority sites packed with products as well as content to please your potential customers.

As for customization, there’s really no limit to what you can do. The templates are created using the Smarty template engine. Store Stacker provides you with about 10 different templates you may use out of the box or customize to meet your own needs.

Then there are the plugins. Out of the box, Store Stacker includes Ebay, Amazon, and You Tube. If you want to add more products from more affiliate networks there are additional plugins available including Clickbank, Paydotcom, RSS, Overstock, Commission Junction, and others.

Adding new pages to your site is also easy. You may add them as actual pages, or if you are adding products, then you add them to the categories.

You may also create as many categories as you want for your products and content, and the template system allows you to arrange your ads and other elements any way you want. If you want to add your own products, you can do that too.

Other than the support, which is top notch, the best part is that you don’t have to continue to pay a monthly fee for anything. When you purchase the script, it’s a one time fee. You may add plugins as you need them, and the cost for plugins is quite low.

Once you have built your store and customized it, then you set up the cron jobs for it. Cron jobs will help you update your store automatically, putting your stores on autopilot. Sitemaps update automatically based on the settings for your store, and you may also offer RSS feeds to your potential customers who want updates through RSS.

I’ve built a lot of websites over the years. Some have worked better than others. Some have gotten me more traffic and sales than others. Nothing has gotten me more traffic and sales than this script though. These sites are search engine friendly, they rank well in the search engines, and cron jobs allow you to update automatically.

Since the sitemaps are updated automatically, this is a completely automated solution once you set it up.

This script is for any affiliate or any product owner for that matter, who wants to build authority sites without pulling their hair out. It’s also for anyone who wants to make money online without the hassles of spending too much time building websites.

This script allows you to focus on good content. By offering your potential customers good content, you will increase your credibility and conversions. This means more sales. If you want to make more money and more sales, then this is the way to do it. Hands down, one of the best affiliate solutions I’ve seen.

Currently there is a two week trial for $1. For more information, visit the Store Stacker site.

Although Google Base is similar to Google Search, it is not the same thing. Google Base is a way for you to submit specific types of content to Google. You also don’t need a website to submit your content.

Popular types of content include:

Events and activities
Hotels
Housing
Jobs
Products
Reviews
Recipes
Vehicles
Vacation rentals

Depending on the type of content you submit, your item may not only show up through Google’s search, it may also show in places like Google Product Search.

The first step to getting started is to sign up for a Google account which is free. Once you have signed up for your account, visit the Google Base website.

Read the terms and conditions for submissions, as well as the section on Basics. It will only take you a few minutes, but it is well worth it because you want to create content Google likes and does well in search.

You have two choices when you submit your content: you may submit one item at a time, or you may submit more than ten. If you plan to submit more than ten, then you need to create a datafeed. (Google shows you what you need to include in your datafeed and how to set it up.)

The next step is to sign into your account and then begin posting your items. If you are submitting one item at a time, you first choose the type of content you want to submit. If the content type is not listed, you may create your own category for your content.

When you are choosing your content type, you will also want to choose the country. This is especially important if you are selling something locally, or you need to target a specific country with your offering.

Completely fill in the information on the form. Depending on the type of content you are submitting, it will determine what you need to fill in the form. Write a good descriptive title of your content, and make sure you include any relevant information in your listing as well as a link if you have one.

Google offers a convenient HTML editor to help you write your listing, so you don’t need to know HTML to create your listing.

You may attach up to 15 different files to your entry. This allows you to include different types of files, like Word documents and spreadsheets.

Your entry isn’t live until you publish it, so make sure you click the publish button when you are finished.

The important thing to remember here is to follow Google’s rules. You don’t want to spam this site. Otherwise you will get banned. Follow the rules and Google will not only promote you in their search engine, but in their other sites, like Product Search, as well.
