It?s called Permission Marketing.

Permission Marketing means that the only people you have to put on your list are people who have asked to be on that list. From now on, your list need only consist of people who opt into receiving your emails and telephone calls because they want information about how you can help them create wealth.

Seth Godin, who literally wrote the book called Permission Marketing, contrasts permission marketing to what he calls, ?interruption marketing.? When a network marketer calls a long lost neighbor, who moved away five years ago, to invite her to an opportunity meeting, that?s interruption marketing.

And when a complete stranger approaches you in a public place and says, ?you would be great in my business,? that?s also interruption marketing.

Interruption marketing intrudes. Interruption marketing invades. Interruption marketing does not establish a relationship prior to blurting out a sales or opportunity message.

But when you see a classified ad with a 24 hour recorded message that will show you how to replace a job you hate and a boss you loath, that is permission marketing.

When you submit your email address to a website that offers to help you spend more time with your family, that is permission marketing.

And when you request a free ebook that offers to help a single mother stay home with her babies, that also is permission marketing.

Permission marketing offers a real benefit, right now, to opt onto an email list, leave your telephone number on a voice mail system or subscribe to an email newsletter. Permission marketing also allows you to opt out of that same list if you decide it just isn?t for you.

I am not saying you cannot talk to your friends and relatives, sometimes you already know if they are looking for a way out of the rut (translation: “job”)they are in. But here?s my promise to you: Once you master permission marketing, you will be able to create wealth faster and build your network marketing organization bigger than any of those folks who told you to begin by calling through a list of your friends and neighbors.

You don’t have to embarrass yourself, you don’t have to risk relationships, and you don’t have to feel like a lazy failure if you don’t write out a list of 200 people you know. There are many, many people who are looking for a way to change their lives with what you have to offer. All you need to do is set up the procedures to let them find you.

Targeted website traffic through article writing is a technique based on how to promote your online business even if you’re a newbie, without having to offer your first born as a matter of payment.

This method has proven successful and is highly recommended by others. The ideal length of your articles should be between 500 to 750 words. There are many article submission sites, the cost of which, are free. Article submission sites are looking for high quality content to add to their pages.

There are other ways to attract visitors through targeted website traffic in order to sell products. To wit: Join relevant forums and make sure to include a sig file with each submission. Find websites that provide free classified ads. Explore the use of Google Adwords, Adsense or pay per click methods, but be careful, this can get costly if you don’t know what you’re doing. Others will bring in traffic through the use of publishing their own ezine or purchasing ads from others ezines. One of the newest methods to bring in traffic is through the use of blogging.

Now, before we continue with the process of article writing to bring in targeted website traffic let’s assume you already own or are building a website. Let’s also assume you are familiar with the importance of writing good content, a very important ingredient to the success of your sight. If you know your topic well, you will find it easy and enjoyable to write quality subject material.

After having written twenty, thirty or more quality pages for your site you will see the search engines begin to spider your content. As Google, MSN, Yahoo, Jeeves etc. apply ratings to your articles, you will receive targeted website traffic to your site. Getting this traffic can take some time as the search engines are continually changing their algorithms for rating content. This is a way of protecting themselves from the all invasive SEO manipulators.

However, the more quality content you add to your pages, the more the search engines will spider you. This will speed up the process of getting visitors to your website. Performing this exercise has another benefit to bring you more targeted website traffic at a decidedly quicker pace.

This, as previously mentioned, is in the form of article writing, a fast and easy way to get people to visit your website. There are many article submission sites, easy to find through the search engines.

When you submit an article, you are able to add a link at the bottom of the page that clicks back to your site. The advantage of this method is, since you have already written lots of quality content for your website, you can probably use some or many of your ideas to submit to articles sites. In this way you can kill two birds with one stone. The result: a significant increase in targeted website traffic from both the search engines and your articles.

Furthermore, there are a significant number of ezine publishers and webmasters who are always looking for quality material to add to their sites. If you establish a reputation as a good writer and become recognized, your article can be used by any publisher interested in your work. Imagine 10 or 20 publishers adding your articles to their sites This can quickly add up to increased traffic.

By making your articles available to other sites, you can greatly increase the number of links pointing to you. In fact, it is extremely easy to get at least 20 new links via each article that you produce. This can be a conservative estimate because in many cases you will end up with hundreds of new links bringing you lots of targeted website traffic

Of all these methods, it seems to me, article writing is the best way to go. Not only will it build traffic fast but will also allow you to use content you’ve already created for your web site. Getting started is the hardest part of writing articles. However you will have a distinct advantage having already written so much quality content for your own website.

Good luck with your online targeted website traffic endeavor. Keep in mind, like anything else, writing articles will get easier the more you work at it.

You need to wear clothes that allow you totally free movement of the various parts of the body essential to the basic shots. There is no shortage of choice when it comes to shirts, sweaters, trousers, shorts, slacks and skirts. It’s a good idea to wear several layers that you can peel off in changeable weather.

Bear in mind that you will be out on the course for several hours at a time, during which there may well be a dramatic change in conditions. If the weather looks changeable, make sure you have enough extra clothing to keep warm, since cold limbs and joints are your worst enemy when playing golf, and pack waterproofs in your golf bag in case it rains.

When choosing waterproofs, remember that you are unlikely to find any garment that is totally impervious to water. The cheapest rainwear is usually lightweight nylon, which although not particularly chic does have the advantage of being compact enough to fit into any bag.

At the other end of the market is the expensive breathable fabric suit. It takes up far more space in your bag and tends to be more suitable if you are likely to play a complete round in the rain.

Whichever waterproofs you choose, look for slacks with legs wide enough to go easily over golf shoes, preferably with zippers at the bottom of the legs, which you can tighten to prevent the bottoms from flapping in the wind. Make sure that the jacket is loose enough to allow you to swing freely and try to get one with as few seams as possible. Another point to remember is that you want a suit that does not make a lot of noise as you move in the shot.

Headwear is also important, particularly in the wind or rain. Look for something to keep your hair from your eyes, to keep rain off glasses and to stay on firmly when the wind blows. The variety of hats is enormous. Golfers tend not to look their most glamorous in the rain. You see everything from stocking caps to hats with built in ear flaps. Fashion may have to take second place to function! Equally, on a nice day you need to keep the sun out of your eyes with a peaked cap or visor.

A good pair of shoes is essential for firm gripping and effective footwork. The most expensive tend to have leather uppers and leather soles with spikes. But they can be very stiff, and if the soles don’t bend freely, you can end up with blisters at the back of your feet.

The ideal combination for most players is a leather upper, which will breathe, combined with a rubber sole with either spikes or ?pimples?. Again, the soles need to be suitably flexible to encourage good footwork. Stiff soles can not only be uncomfortable, but can also cause problems in the swing.

Look for shoes with solid toe caps. This again encourages good footwork for the right foot to come through onto the end of the toes. Shoes that are too flexible will not give proper support.

Also bear in mind that the heel height can vary slightly, which can affect balance and legwork. High-ish heels can push the weight forward onto the ball of the left foot through impact, instead of allowing you to get back onto the heel.

When you buy a pair of spiked shoes, loosen all the spikes and drop in a little machine oil to prevent them from rusting. Lightweight tennis style shoes are increasingly popular, as they are much easier on the feet during a long day on the course. Modern shoes often have ‘soft’ plaster spikes.

Most players wear a left hand glove to encourage a constant grip. Leather tends to be very expensive, and although it arguably gives the best feel, it may not be as durable as some of the best synthetics. A glove with an extra pad at the base of the hand can reduce wear and tear. It should fit tighter than a normal glove. Take care when putting your glove on, slide it on the fingers and thumb, rather than pulling it on from the wrist.

In winter, wearing a pair of thick mittens over your golf glove is usually easier than playing in a pair of gloves. Special trolley mitts are available to cover both the trolley handle and your hands.

When you think about it, having a successful online business means that you will need to own your own domain, which will enable you to alter, add to and change your web site when necessary. You ideally need the opportunity of offering a free newsletter that visitors to your site can subscribe to, so you will require an autoresponder to be installed and a series of follow-up emails will need to be written. You will require products to sell and ideally you need to use companies who ship the goods on your behalf, otherwise you will need to get involved in accepting payments and shipping the goods, which you will have had to purchase first yourself. These are only a few of the basics and one can see that it can be very involved and complicated.

But let us look at what else may be required, just so that you are fully aware of what starting an online home business is all about. Owning your own domain and having access to your source code gives you the freedom to do what you like to your site, which means you have control of your business, but this will require knowledge of html. Internet Marketing is another animal altogether! You need visitors, lots of them, to your site to generate signups and sales, so ideally the online home business opportunity should offer a full training program and a forum where you can go to discuss your business, get assistance and ultimately you can offer help to others.

The ultimate of course is to find a business-in-a-box. This means that your website will come fully set up with the affiliate programs loaded and you will be able to select your own domain name and then be in a position to add any other programs to the site. The all important autoresponder should also be installed and ready to fire off emails to your subscribers, plus you will be able to add more follow-ups to your autoresponder.

You will be able to install a link exchange program to create linking partnerships, a stat counter, add banners or text links, change the colour and design of your site, choose your keywords and optimize your site for the search engines, link your blog to your site, add an article directory, stream fresh content onto your site, upload ebooks, software and more. Literally, you can do whatever you want as you have full control of your own online home business.

You may well be thinking that this is all too complicated and you do not have the knowledge, but that is the great advantage of joining an online program that sets your money making site up for you and with a comprehensive training program in place and an active forum which you can join and actively participate in, you will have all the help you need.

Starting an online home business does not mean that you are going to be generating an income immediately. You need to give yourself time to work through the training, learn and implement all that you can. It is a step-by-step process that takes time but each step you take builds your business. The marketing and advertising of a web site needs consistent, ongoing work, as you need to build momentum to ensure that your money making site is visible to as many people as possible.

If you have decided to start your own online home business you are in for an exciting time. You will experience frustrations and setbacks, but these can be overcome with the support and backup. The secret is just to press on and never quit. Remember, Rome was not built in a day. The learning curve may be steep, but work hard and have fun and once the momentum kicks in with your marketing and advertising you will start to make money online and reap the rewards of all the hard work you have put in.

With Christmas just around the corner, it is not just the huge retailers making horrendous amounts of cash. ‘Tis the season for thousands of get-rich-quick books to come out of the woodwork. And a bumper time for article writing affiliates !

There is a hidden group of people who seemed to have cracked the code for affiliate earning. You know the ones…. Every now and then you’ll hear a mention of them on a forum “…I heard they were making $15,000 a day !” or you’ll see them issue an eBook with “My Top 3 Tips”. They never seem to spill their secrets …… Until now.

Did You Know:

* A small article or free Ad can be seen by more than 1,000 times more people than your website every day ?

* At most affiliate Marketplaces of your choice, you can search by most popular or newest products ?

Now if you put these 2 things together it seems so simple.

1. Check out the hottest item each day at your affiliate marketplace. – Look at the statistics below and not necessarily at the highest earners.

2. Write an article between 250- 1,000 words either reviewing it or pointing out the major points. – Often Article banks don’t allow affiliate links, so either set up a blog about the product (free) or creat a page at your existing website.

3. Submit this article to all of the free article banks. Shorten it as an ad and submit to the free Ad sites. – Stay away from the Hype and just stick to the true benefits and try to be realistic.

I know you’re saying “oh…I’m sure it’s just that easy !”, well it can be. There are of course a couple of tips and tricks that can be put to use to help this formula really take off. You’ll find my favourite one here; PROJECT X

Such a simple idea, that anyone can make money BEFORE Christmas and have extra for those last minute expenses.

Good Luck ! Rachel Annarve
