Basically how to go from good to great.

3. Copywriting: In my opinion this is a great skill to have because most internet marketer realize that without a great sales letter a good product will fail in the marketplace.

Using WordPress For Your Business
Top Five Reasons to Use WordPress for Your Small Business Website
1. SEO – WordPress provides good search engine optimization (SEO) right out of the box. There are a few tweaks you need to make, but there are many seo benefits that WordPress provides for free. In fact Google’s own Matt Cutts says WordPress is “made to do SEO well” in this video: Matt Cutts gives tips to small business owners.
2. Content – it is easy to update content on your website without knowing HTML. Do you hate the idea of having to learn to use a complex HTML editor tool like Dreamweaver? Do you have to “ask” your webmaster every time you want to make a small change to your website? Well no longer – once WordPress is set up for you, you can easily create new pages or edit existing pages using a simple rich text editor.
3. Extensions – There is a thriving ecosystem of developers creating themes and plug-ins – imagine free design themes, or the ability to extend your website with polls, contact forms, ratings or hundreds of other cool features without having to hire a web developer.
4. Support – If you do have problems, or want to add very custom features, it is easy to find support and developers who can help you. There are literally thousands of WordPress developers out there. And there are so many people writing about WordPress that help is only a Google search away!
5. One-click-installation – Quick installs are provided by many hosting providers, including Bluehost, 1and1 and GoDaddy and of course us.
Here is the latest version of WordPress and some of the things you can do.
If you would like us to set up your own WordPress site then email us for a quote.
WordPress releases 2.8 with lots of new features.
In the IMclub we spend a lot of time teaching you how to use wordpress and they recently released the new 2.8 version.
The reson we do this is that it is a fantastic system and once you master it you will be able to create sites for your self and others.
We do a lot of offline marketing refurbishing small business websites which we will be helping you do. If you are new to WordPress and looking for reasons to use WordPress as a CMS (content management system) in your new website, let me give you some.
Open Source Software
WordPress is an Open Source software which allows it to be used free of cost. You can use it on any kind of personal or commercial website without have to pay a single dime for it. It is built on PHP/MySQL (which is again Open Source) and licensed under GPL.
User Friendly
You don’t really have to be experienced to use WordPress on your website. Nowadays most of the hosting companies provide the ability to install WordPress on your site at a single click of the mouse. The administration section is easy to navigate and its even easy to add articles/content to your website.
Themes Support
You will never run short of templates when using WordPress. If you don’t like the themes that come with the default installation of WordPress, you can hunt on the Internet and you will find thousands of free themes that you can download and use for your website. There are themes which can even make your website look like a regular site instead of a blog.
Plugins Extend Functionality
WordPress plugins allow you to do just about anything that you want and can be installed in a jiffy. For example, you want to paginate your blog posts, just look on Google and you can easily find the relevant plugin that will easily do the job for you.
Standards Compliant
WordPress is one software that follows all the Web Standards and keeps your blog or website compliant to all the rules that have to be followed when running a website.
SEO Friendly
Search Engines have to be definitely kept in mind when building a website. WordPress uses different functions which allow it to be search engine friendly. For example sending pings to other sites, making categories, tagging your posts, use of h1/h2 tags etc.
Large community Support
As per recent statistics, WordPress is used on more than 1% of the websites on the Internet in the world. There is a large user community backing the development of this software. So, whenever you face any problems, you can go through all the available WordPress forums and communities and find answers for all your questions.
Here is a video of the new format and functions.
Offline Marketing Secrets
One of the key businesses doing well at the moment is providing online marketing information for small businesses.
I’m about to reveal an occupation where people just like you are making $500 and more often on their first day out. Better still if you’ve been studying online marketing for 3 months or more you already have all the training you need to get started in what I believe is the best “online job” anywhere today.
First let me tell you what it’s not.
It doesn’t involve multi level marketing, online surveys, data entry, article writing, search engine submission or any other of those crazy internet schemes where you put in hours upon hours of work and the check never arrives.
Also with this occupation you get to work your own hours and you can get paid before you do any real work.
How to market during a recession and tough times.
As the economy slows down, businesses are finding they have to cut their marketing budgets and are looking for more cost effective forms to get the message out about their products and services.
Add to this the traditional forms of marketing like TV, radio, print and cold calling are now getting diluted with new technology blocking many of these from ever reaching prospective customers.
People can record TV shows without the adds, they redirect calls to their voice mail to screen at a later time and many people get their news and other information from web services, screen their emails with spam filters and generally are able to screen out most things coming into their lives.
When people buy things they are more likley to go online and look for the information themselves, ask people in their facebook list or look for referals from others.
Enter the new marketing paradigm called Inbound Marketing.
There are three specific ways Inbound Marketing improves on the efficiency of traditional marketing:
(1) It Costs Less – Outbound marketing means spending money – either by buying ads, buying email lists or renting huge booths at trade shows. Inbound Marketing means creating content and talking about it. A blog costs nothing to start. A Twitter account is free, too. Both can draw thousands of customers to your site. The marketing ROI from inbound campaigns is higher.
(2) Better Targeting – Techniques like cold-calling, mass mail and email campaigns are notoriously poorly targeted. You’re reaching out to individuals because of one or two attributes in a database. When you do Inbound Marketing, you only approach people who self-qualify themselves. They demonstrate an interest in your content, so they are likely to be interested in your product.
(3) It’s an Investment, Not an Ongoing Expense – When you buy pay-per-click advertising on search engines, its value is gone as soon as you pay for it. In order to maintain a position at the top of Google’s paid results, you have to keep paying. However, if you invest that money in quality content that ranks in Google’s organic results, you’ll be there until somebody displaces you.
Unfortunately you will not find out much about this new concept from the people who design your website because they are not marketers. They are designers and like in the past many do not communicate with the marketing dept.
The days when a pretty brochure style website would draw customers has come to an end and the business that utilizes Inbound Marketing techniques will dominate the market place.
In our next post we will discuss what these new marketing techniques are. To keep up be sure to use our rss feed or get the post delivered to your email box.

Skills are a key element to your online business.
Lots of people ask me how did I manage to set up my profitable online business and the answer is always I developed some skills.
In The Internet Marketers Club we concentrate on developing what we call CORE SKILLS.
Hosting and Web Development
Research
Product Development
Search Engine Optimization
Marketing and Advertising
Graphics and Artwork
Media both video and audio
These are the main core skills however once you know a little about each one you can then choose to specialize in one specific area.
Its sort of like university where you develop the foundation skills then choose the area you want to specialize in.
Its not as Hard as You Think!
Its not about becoming a guru at each of these skills but having enough knowledge about each that you then have a foundation to launch from. Most people can do this in a few months with a little direction.
Developing these core skills opens up a wider range of opportunities.
You are no longer dependant on other peoples programs to develop your income which become hugley diluted because everyone is doing the same thing.
.
Also because you now know how it all fits together you can wisley outsource various functions as you know what is involved.
Developing your own online business can be one of the most exciting ventures and with a little help and coaching you can develop all sorts of successful ventures.
Why not consider joining the IM club today and develop your core skills.
Enjoy

The IM Club Newsletter Issue 1
Welcome to our first issue of the IM Newsletter
by Quentin Brown
As I was driving home today from a meeting I was listening to a science program on the radio.
It was about how three monkeys in a room and how they had also placed a bunch of bananas at the top of a pole in the room. On this pole close to the top was a sprinkler and every time the monkeys climbed up the pole and reached for the bananas the sprinkler would spray them with a cold jet of water.
Over a period of time the monkeys simply gave up trying to get the bananas. They then took one of the monkeys out of the room and introduced a novice who had not been trained. They also turned off the jet so they could now reach the bananas.
When the novice went to climb the pole the other two trained monkeys pulled the novice down. After a while they then took out another of the experienced monkeys and introduced another novice. The same thing happened. Finally they took the only remaining trained monkey out of the room which left three novices.
Can you work out what happened? Not one of these three new monkeys reached the bananas, or even tried, even though none of them had actually experienced the jet of cold water. They just followed along with what the other more experienced monkeys had advised them to do.
In our own personal and business lives we can have the same experience. Many of us may be unwilling to try something because we have been trained by others to fail. This is especially so in Internet marketing.
Become willing to step out and have a go! You never know what is possible. Just like those other monkeys. That jet of cold water had been turned off, so they would not have even got wet. What you want may be a lot easier for you to achieve than it was for others.
This is my life!

This Weeks Thought
“Most people don’t want to do the hard; that’s why it’s so easy to be successful. There’s no competition!
Remember short-term pain will equal long term gain and vice versa. It’s the hard that makes you great.
It’s the willingness to do the hard that separates you from your competition, because most of them are
only willing to do the easy. Unfortunately, in the long run, the easy always turns out to be the hard. “
This Weeks Traffic Idea
The last few months I have been using a system called Free Traffic system and how it works is you write and article and then by using some tags you can make it so it will publish in different version. This is called Article spinning.
You can then post those articles to 30 different blogs. Creates good backlink traffic.
You can go here to get your own free traffic system.

Snatching Defeat From The Jaws of Victory
byElena Fawkner
You may find the lure of an online business seductive indeed.
And why not? After all, it holds the promise of true independence – time and money freedom – from the comfort and sanctuary of your own home. It tantalizes you with the promise of unlimited potential, a limitless market. With immediate results.
All of this is achievable. Except the last. There is nothing immediate about the results you will achieve when you first start an online business.
It’s estimated that well over 98% of internet businesses bite the dust after only a few months. How can you make sure you’re one of the 2% who last through the long haul? It’s quite simple, really. Just hang on.
That’s assuming, of course, that your online business is worth hanging on TO. If all you’re doing is reselling someone else’s products and not contributing anything to the Internet community yourself, get ready to join the 98%. But if you’ve identified your niche, if you’re making an original contribution to that niche and have quality products or services to offer that market, you can make it.
But you have to be prepared to stick it out because no matter how great your site, your product, your service, your ideas, your abilities, it will not happen overnight. THAT’S why 98% of online businesses fail. It’s not because they were also-rans, it’s not because they did nothing but sign up for half a dozen affiliate programs and thought they were in business, it’s not because they were dumb, or slow, or technically challenged or faced too much competition.
It’s because they gave up too soon.
You have to allow for the lag factor. You have to be prepared to not only sow your seeds, but to give the seeds time to germinate, sprout and, finally, grow. Only then can you harvest. In other words, not only must you sow before you can reap, you must wait after sowing before you can reap.
It’s what you do with that waiting time that’s critical to your success.
Think of yourself as a farmer. You wouldn’t just plant a quarter acre of corn and then sit back for the next three months (or however long it takes corn to grow) twiddling your thumbs, obsessively checking for signs of life every five minutes, getting more and more frustrated with every day that passes without being able to harvest.
No. In the meantime, you’d be busy planting strawberries, potatoes, carrots and broadbeans. And you’d be busy *harvesting* the broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts and asparagus that you planted four months before the strawberries, potatoes, carrots and broadbeans. While you weren’t obsessing about how the cauliflower, silverbeet, tomatoes and squash you’d planted three months before THAT were doing. And keeping an eye on your herb garden while you were at it.
Like working a farm, working an online business is a constant exercise in planning, sowing, tending, measuring and reaping. And patience. Lots and lots of patience.
When you “finish” your first website (you’ll understand why the quotes if you have your own site), you think the hard part’s over. You think that it’s simply a matter of uploading your site to your web host’s servers, submitting your site to the search engines, listing it in directories, negotiating reciprocal links with other webmasters, publishing an ezine and generating subscribers, placing paid ads (you’ll figure out what free ads are worth all by yourself), writing articles and doing a hundred and one other things to drive traffic to your site.
And you’re right. It is that simple.
But it all takes time.
You won’t upload your site today and have it indexed by the search engines tomorrow. You’ll send the first issue of your ezine to maybe 10 people. Or fewer. Your first attempt at ad writing will bring you zero sales. It takes you three months for it to actually sink in that you have to run your ad for a minimum of seven times before readers will act. And that it’s seven times to the SAME audience.
And then, when your site is *finally* indexed by the search engines, it doesn’t appear in the first three pages of search results for your keywords. In fact, it doesn’t appear in the first *thirty* pages. So you learn about the importance of high-profitability keywords and you create new web pages just for those keywords. And submit them to the search engines. And then wait until they’re indexed.
And then check again.
In the meantime, four months have passed, you now have over five hundred subscribers to your ezine and you’re starting to see maybe fifty site visitors a day. And not a one of them is buying anything.
You’ve been working hard, long hours in your business but, quite frankly, you consider it a good month if you can (just) cover your web hosting fees with what you’re bringing in.
So you start feeling like it’s just not worth the time and the effort and the sacrifice. You’re spending at least half your waking time on this thing and you’re not getting anywhere.
A few more weeks pass with no results and you start getting seriously dejected. You’re disillusioned and disappointed.
You’re frustrated and generally P.O.’d that everyone else seems to be able to do this but you.
Your day job, which you detest with a passion, starts to feel like not such a bad way to spend 8 hours. Hey, it beats sitting before a computer screen day in day out trying to market to a bunch of ingrates with nothing to show for it.
So you petulantly start watching TV in the evenings after work instead of tending your garden. You completely miss the tender young shoots that suddenly appear in the corn patch. You don’t see that birds are picking off the strawberries and that the carrots and broadbeans need watering. You don’t notice you have a whole field of potatoes that are ready for harvesting or that the soil needs to be turned where the silverbeet was planted six months ago.
Finally, the corn is ready to harvest but half-formed cabbages and asparagus are rotting because you didn’t notice it was time to water and protect them from parasites. Soon the corn will join them.
You don’t see any of it because you’re busy watching TV. If you’d just hung on a little bit longer, you’d be starting to reap a healthy crop from your efforts by now. But you didn’t hang in there. You gave up too soon.
Don’t let this happen to you. Don’t let your business die on the vine. Continue to feed, water and protect it. Even when you don’t feel like it. *Especially* when you don’t feel like it.
Success in this business has as much to do with patience and perseverance as it does about creativity and talent.
Success could be just around the next corner. Just wait and see what’s waiting for you before you flip the switch.
