A Note from Mal Keenan
===================================

Greetings friends,
As always a warm welcome to those of you who have joined us since our last issue of HBT Newsletter.

Well I know it's been a while but I've been so busy since my last issue I just haven't had the time to do much more.

Since I last put finger to keypad to write an issue I have set up about 4 or 5 more websites and I have left my offline job to do this full-time. So something must be working, well everything except me:-)

I promised at the beginning of 2005 that I would try to get more issues coming to you as the new year progressed. I have so much info to share about what I have been up to that I could probably write a book. But that's for future issues....

My latest project was a new training website for my SFI affiliates which you can look at here:

Enjoy what this issue holds and I look forward to being in touc again soon..

Til next time

Your friend in success

FEATURE Article - 6 Proven Steps To Internet Marketing Success
===================================

By Mal Keenan

There is a misconception that you can come online set up a web business and be making $1000s within days. Let be put that myth to rest right away. This has not been my experience nor the experience of anyone I have come in contact with through my online endeavours.

You need to give yourself at least a year to make an online business work and budget your money accordingly. Too many times I see people ploughing a wad of cash into their businesses and again, expecting instant riches.

New marketers also make the mistake of thinking that one marketing strategy will do. Of course some avenues will produce more than others but I have found the best way is to adapt a broad based approach to your online marketing. That means spreading your time and resources over several different methods.

I will attempt to outline in this text everything I feel you need to be doing consistently to make a success of your online business.

Again I MUST point out that you need to persist is this strategy and spend your money wisely. It amazes me the amount of people who drop out after the first month or two. What do they expect, miracles? You wouldn't ditch an offline business after a month so why would you expect an online enterprise to be any different?

If you fail to plan then you plan to fail.

Bottom line is, targeted visitors = sales. This is definitely a numbers game and obviously the more targeted visitors you send to your website the more money you make. The concept is simple but you need to maintain a healthy focus to ensure that you stick this out for as long as it takes to make a profit, and progress to financial freedom online.

Here are the methods I use to send daily visitors to my sites:

1)Build Your List

It's true what they say that the money IS in the list. Most successful online marketers have large lists of targeted prospects that they can send their offers to on a regular basis. Anyone new to this business should begin to build this list immediately.

You have to start somewhere and it takes time but it is certainly worth your while to begin now and develop a lasting and trustful relationship with those list members who eventually will feel comfortable in purchasing your recommendations. When trust grows this targeted list will become a virtual money tree and make you cash at will. Some marketers are able to makes $1000s sending an email to their list, which takes little more than a few minutes to write. Can you see the power in this method?

I use a couple of different methods, online forms at all my websites encouraging prospects to add their name and email addresses plus I also purchase many of my addresses from other companies that can send me 1000s of emails for affordable prices. These addresses are spam free and can grow my list a lot quicker than I could ever do from my own websites.

I have set up some tutorials here for companies that will send you targeted visitors:
http://www.pluginprofitstraining.com/listopt.html
http://www.pluginprofitstraining.com/listmedia.html

2)Pay Per Click search engines.

Over the years I have used PPCSEs to send 1000s of visitors to my sites. This is a fast track way to drive traffic to your sites. You can be up and running and getting hits in minutes.

I use http://www.overture.com, http://www.findwhat.com, and http://www.7search.com. These are three of the most popular but there are many others which you can find here:
http://www.payperclicksearchengines.com/

I suggest you use Wordtracker (http://www.workathomebiz.info/wordtracker.html) to accumulate as many TARGETED keywords as you can. The more targeted keywords you collect the more visitors you get.

The idea is to ensure that you are paying less for visitors on a monthly basis than the sales you make.

3)Google Adwords (http://www.google.com/ads/)

Google adwords is similar in principle to PPCSEs in that you pay for your visitors. I suggest you use Wordtracker (http://www.workathomebiz.info/wordtracker.html) to accumlate 1000s of keyword phrases.

4)Article Submissions

Submitting topical articles is one of the most affordable and at the same time effective marketing strategies I know of. For more info and the resources to do this visit here:
http://www.pluginprofitstraining.com/articlesubmissions.html

5)Regular Search Engines

Yahoo, Google, and MSN send me as many visitors per day as any other strategy I use. It is highly recommended that you get started immediately to begin to build the online web presence of your website and thus your search engine rankings.

I have done this mostly through a reciprocal linking campaign which has had a greater effect on my search engine rankings than anything else. I employ the use of Linksmanager (http://www.workathomebiz.info/linksmanager.html) to automate my links campaign for which I pay a monthly fee or you can set up your own links manager at your own site using Kevin Ocasio's excellent Reciprocal Manager(http://www.freeadvertz.com/recipmanager.html).

For affordable search engine submission software try Web Position Gold (http://www.webpositiongolddownloads.com)

Please note: This is a long term strategy, so it will take at least a few months of persistent action to see any results at all.

6)Forum Posting

One of the greatest things that happened to me in my online career was being appointed moderator at one on the most popular online internet marketing forums. This has opened up more avenues and opportunities than any other strategy. I suggest you visit the popular, high traffic online forums daily and make it a point of sharing your experiences and giving your advice as often as possible. Get yourself seen!

The thing about this method too is that you can have a link pointing to your site in the signature of each post you make. Posting at forums will send daily traffic to your site AND the visitors will be highly targeted.

Here are two high traffic forums that I frequent:
http://www.ablake.net/forum/
http://www.howtocorp.com/forum/

This one isn't high traffic yet but I will be there to answer your questions:
http://www.home-business-tips-newsletter.com/forum/

In conclusion:

I have been marketing online since 1998 and have tried 100s of different ways to drive targeted traffic to my websites. The above six strategies work, so I suggest you print them out and make the methods part of your daily marketing plan for the foreseeable future.

If they can work for me then they WILL work for you.

I wish you every success in your efforts.

SUCCESS ARTICLE - Success - it's all a matter of mindset!

Success - it's all a matter of mindset!

"Walk away from the 97% crowd. Don't use their excuses. Take charge of your own life." -- Jim Rohn

Have you ever wondered why some people always seem to get whatever they want?

In fact there's nothing mysterious about it. You, too can quickly get whatever you want ...and enjoy it, too - it's all a matter of mindset, success mindset.

Start now, and build your own Success Mindset!

To begin with: Work on yourself. Examine your mind. What are your deep-seated beliefs on yourself?

The best way to find out is to discover the limitations you set for yourself, which are the result of your self-concept i.e.the way you "see" yourself..

For example if you decide to do something, like lose weight, or get up earlier, or work more etc. do you find it easy or is there a "little voice" inside you that keeps whispering to you: "No, you're just wasting your time, you'll never make it...."?

Those are the limitations you have imposed upon yourself throughout your life.

Most probably, the seeds were planted in your mind since childhood and, over time, have taken on the disguise of reality.

Childhood programming and associations grew up with you and were nurtured, seemingly confirmed by successive failures throughout your life.

And things will go on like this until the day when you stand up, stamp your foot, and say: "No! No! No!"

You've just realized that there is no fatality in life!

Those beliefs on yourself, which you thought you were "born with", were in fact acquired from your childhood on and gradually built up to constitute your "personality traits."

There is now scientific evidence that "you can get to the deepest part of your mind and program your belief system with affirmations, visualizations, prayer" (if you feel so inclined), and thus create a new reality for yourself.

You can "introduce other patterns of belief into the subconscious and unconscious areas of your mind".

This is something within your power. You can decide to do it and then proceed to do it.

NOW YOU KNOW, and this puts you high above Jim Rohn's "97% crowd"!

And you can deliberately program your mind for success, it's like installing the Success Mindset software.

Yes, Success Mindset is really like software. Your mind is programmed for success. It is framed in such a way that you always get whatever you want.

Success is no longer accidental or occasional. It has become second nature to you - or one should even say "first nature".

What you used to call failure becomes an opportunity to learn a lesson and move forward to still further success - "a blessing in disguise".

One nice thing about Success Mindset is that ANYONE can acquire it, never mind whether some people are "more gifted" than others.

It simply can be built and nurtured by any human being.

And Success Mindset is based on what I call the "Success Mindset Tripod (TM)":

- gratitude - purpose - faith

In other articles, we examine

- how an attitude of gratitude enables you to be at peace with both your past and your "already visualized" future;

- how a sense of purpose is what you need to control your destiny and define your own future;

- how faith is at once the vehicle, the fuel and... the bridge between your past, your present, and your future.

We also talk about the tools you will use for your Success Mindset building, such as self-talk, affirmations, visualizations, goalsetting, etc. and much, much more.

Meanwhile, don't allow your "Success Mindset Tripod (TM)" to wobble and crash down. Let it proudly stand on its three sturdy legs.

- Cultivate gratitude: whatever your present situation, it certainly might have been worse,

- Strengthen your sense of purpose by being crystal-clear about what you want,

- Nurture your faith, if only faith in yourself.

Or... will you just idly sit by and powerlessly watch as your Magnificent Dream explodes, with bits and pieces hurtling down the bottomless pit of abject failure?

"Don't walk sideways, breast your way through life!"
