How to hire a freelancer is an article that I have promised to write about in my post Outsourcing Internet Marketing Tasks.

How to hire a freelancer is a very important skill to learn since these virtual workers contribute a lot to the success of your business. They work much harder and longer for your business than you (at least that’s how it should be).

Let’s discuss the places where you can hire a freelancer:

- Odesk (www.odesk.com)

- Elance (www.elance.com)

- Rent A Coder (www.rent-acoder.com)

- Guru (www.guru.com)

- Best Jobs (www.bestjobs.ph)

- Fiverr (www.fiverr.com)

There are many other places where you can hire a freelancer to work for your online business but you don’t need the whole list. The ones above will satisfy most, if not all of your needs for an online business. Read the rest of this entry

Internet marketing coach – You’ve heard about it, you’ve thought about it…is it really worth hiring one?

There are a ton of ways to learn Internet marketing. You can learn from ebooks, videos, audios, membership sites  and of course, getting yourself an Internet marketing coach.

This internet marketing expert can coach you over the phone, through a membership site and you can even visit his home office.

It goes without saying that the more personal the coaching is, the more expensive the Internet marketing coach’s fee is.

But is it really worth hiring an internet marketing coach to turn your business around and start watching the profits flood in which you’ve often heard about people bragging in their salesletters?

Let’s see how an Internet marketing coach can actually help you. Read the rest of this entry

Blog crashes where your posts and pages disappear all of a sudden won’t ever happen to you, right?

Well that was what I thought until it did happen to me after I saved a draft blog post.

Seriously… I almost had heart attack.

I was in the middle of a WSO promotion and one of the products was installed on my blog. So I was pretty worried to say the least.

Anyway, I rang Hostgator and a few WordPress experts and managed to fix the problem.

All I had to do, was go to my cPanel, find the WordPress database that contained my posts (wp_posts) and repair it.

It was bloody simple. Watch the video to see how I repaired my blog crash.

Outsourcing Internet marketing tasks is a must if you want to seriously grow your online business. Actually there’s more and more courses being released teaching you how to outsource your Internet marketing tasks.

The selling point is that you will pay some guy for peanuts to do all the work, while you lie back on the couch, sip a beer and watch TV.

But does that really happen in the real world?

Unfortunately the answer’s NO. Read the rest of this entry

Email marketing is a straight forward topic…at first. It’s like writing an article for traffic. How difficult and complex can it get?

Like most things in life, the simpler it looks, the less people do a good job with it.

Every internet marketer knows (unless you’re a fresh newbie), that the money is in the list. The bigger your list, the more money you’ll make.

But here’s the cold, hard truth.

The number of subscribers on your email list don’t mean squat.

There are a ton of products on how to generate free traffic to a website. Much more than paid traffic. So it’s safe to say that the market for free traffic is much greater than paid traffic.

When I first started out in Internet marketing, I focused a lot of my time on writing articles, posting to forums and wrote a lot of blogs.

Time really flies. I started 6 years ago. Nowadays, I can afford to buy traffic for my websites. But it also made me realize what a huge mistake I made on generating free traffic when I first started marketing.

How to build an email list from scratch is one of the most important lessons for people who are just starting their online business or for people who are entering a new niche.

If you have a big list and you actually have a cool relationship with them, making money online is not a problem.

Marketers have engraved the idea that knowing how to build an email list is essential if you want to make money with your online business. I’ve yet to come across anyone who disagrees with this.

But it’s easy for online entrepreneurs to say this. They’re already making money, they already have traffic coming in from search engines and they already have a huge list to leverage from.

WHAT IF THEY STARTED FROM SCRATCH?

Many marketers have their own list of top 10 best websites. We all have different opinions and this is what makes these lists so damn popular.

We all want to know what other people’s opinions are so that we’ll hopefully find some nuggets of information that we haven’t heard of or forgotten about.

If you know how to design a website to attract traffic, you can start a consulting business with just this skill.

Businesses that have websites generally have no idea about designing for traffic and conversions. All they care about is the website looking flashy (we’re talking ‘flash’ websites here) and their company logo being located in an attention grabbing area.

Here’s a very good example of a business with absolutely clue about how to design a website. In fact, what you are about to witness is how to design a website that kills traffic.
