Many internet marketers are already earning more than enough money through exploiting social networking websites’ systems in order to get their hands on more dough. Here are some interesting ways that you, too, can earn money with social networking websites that shouldn’t and won’t take you very much time at all.

The first step in social network internet marketing involves actually setting up your account. If you don’t already have an account with Myspace, Facebook, Xanga, or any of the other well-known websites out there, it’s time you did. When registering, one can either use their real name or a “pen name” of sorts. In fact, many internet marketers actually use a pen name in order to disguise who they really are as well as creating a social networking profile to go along with their name.

What and How to Sell: The number of things and products that anyone can sell on Facebook or Myspace is ultimately limitless. Whether you want to post your affiliate link to a weight-loss product or promote your own website that you want members and traffic to, anything is generally accepted in these communities.

When it comes to the actual selling process, though, there are several ways it can be done. First, social networking sites usually allow members to post “bulletins” or notes that all the rest of their “friends” that are members of the site are able to see.

These bulletins are where the real money comes in, because practically anything can be included in them. For example, as in the weight-loss product above, you could do a product review of the weight loss product and post it in a bulletin along with your affiliate link in order for your “friends” to buy. In doing so, your friends will give you commission sales on the products they buy.

Another way that an individual can use social networking websites to make money is through their profile. Whether you’d like to promote your product or someone else’s as an affiliate marketer, this can be done right on your profile by posting affiliate links, product reviews, information pieces, and anything else that will attract and link bait a potential sale. Even videos that are essentially product reviews and an attempt to try to sell your own product or your affiliate product can be posted on your social networking member profile.

As you can see, the sales and amount of money that can come from using and exploiting social networking websites can really compound. Essentially, the more friends that a person has in their community profile means that the more chances they have and the more members they have available to them in order to market and try to sell products or information. All in all, using Facebook, Myspace, Xanga, or even another smaller social networking community website can definitely pay off large rewards in the long run!

One of the many attractions of Internet arcade games is that they are usually free. These flash games are usually played online, or you can download them on to your computer. And unless your computer has a virus, it would be pretty hard to lose or break them! Internet arcade games are not as graphically pleasing or as elaborately designed as traditional platform games. There are arrays of games to choose from, so it should not be a problem picking a game that suits you!

Certain Internet arcade games may be hard on the eyes, because of the flashy ads and pop ups that tends to decorate the site. Some people may be turned off by these ads, but these ads are essential in keeping the games free. Website owners need to generate income to keep the sites running, hence the need to rent out advertisement space to retailers and businesses. Installing a pop up blocker should help you deal with this particular problem.

Many companies that produce these Internet arcade games are creating more elaborates games for online play. Due to the amount of work that goes into these games, manufacturers will charge a fee. In short, these types of games do not come free. Fortunately, makers of these games often provide a free trial demo allowing the user to decide whether it is worth shelling out the money. A simple Google search can bring you to a lot of website that offer these online games that you can join in on the fun.

MMORPG, which stands for Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games, are the most advanced form of flash games. These games allow the game to be played by many users at one time. You will be required to pay a monthly subscription fee to enjoy the perks of this type of game. But for new users, there is usually a demo or trial version available. Some games allow free users to participate, however free users only get the most basic package. MMORPGs creators are continuously working on the game, adding new features and new story plots to keep the game interesting and its players content.

Many online arcades let you register for free. Once registered, you gain access to a range of functions. You automatically become a member of that particular online arcade community. Other users can view your profile, look at your profile picture or avatar and see how many games you have played and your high scores.

So search engine marketing can be described as marketing a website on the search engines to enhance web visibility. Popular search engines include Google, Yahoo and MSN. While there are countless others, as much as 95% of search engine traffic comes from these 3 places. Google and Yahoo together account for 90% of that.

Search Engine Marketing – Organic Results and PPC

Google, Yahoo and MSN, there are 2 ways in which you can market in all of them. The first is the organic results that appear when you type in a keyword and a result is displayed. In the organic results, rankings matter greatly because most of the visitors do not go beyond page 2 or 3 in a result page. Search engine marketing here involves ’search engine optimization’ (SEO). Its objective is to try and improve the ranks of the website in the search engine – for best results, the website should be ranked in page 1 of the results page when a visitor has typed in a targeted keyword for the business.

But the problem with SEO is that, there are countless websites competing for the same keywords, and the fact that there can be only 10 websites in page 1 means that the results are not guaranteed. Plus, it may take a long time to get results too. Search engines also change their algorithms from time to time and when this happens there is a major change in the ranks. When this happens the business suddenly sees a huge drop in the web traffic and the search engine marketer has to start almost from scratch again.

PPC or Pay Per Click is a way out of this. The biggest advantage in this is that you get results almost instantly. Just open an account, research the keywords, create the advertisements, decide the cost per click, and you are ready to go. The advertisements begin to appear in the paid column and when there is a click, you get traffic to your website. You need to pay the search engine per click, but the amount you pay varies depending on the keywords you have selected and also the position of the advertisement.

All major search engines have a PPC plan – there is Google Adwords, Yahoo Search Marketing and then there is MSN AdCenter.

Search engine marketing also involves writing articles and submitting to directories to get a link back to the website. While this often also leads to a better search engine rank, but here the idea may be to generate more Internet traffic by making the readers of the articles click on the link and visit the website.

So how do you know if you’ve written your resume correctly so it gives you a leading edge over other job candidates? Below is a resume checklist with ten strategies to help you write your resume and put yourself in high demand in today’s job market.

1. Showcase key words. Key words are those skills listed as the job requirements in the job postings. Key words are different for every job so you need to look closely at the job description. Then, showcase all of those requirements that you meet in a section called Key Strengths, right underneath the Objective section.

2. Show results. This is the single biggest difference in making your resume stand out from all the other thousands of resumes. I do this myself, and I know this is why I get the interviews. Underneath your Key Strengths section, I list 4-5 career highlights that are results focused.

Quantify each of your career highlights in terms of dollars, percentages, or numbers. For example, let’s say that you’re in sales and you’ve brought in an average of 10 new clients per month. That’s 120 clients a year, and if you’ve been doing that for the past 3 years, that’s 360 new clients! So one of your career highlights could be, Gained approximately 360 new clients which generated $360,000 in new revenue in three years.

Also, try to quantify each of your accomplishments for every job that you list in the Experience section.

3. Show leadership and teamwork. Hiring managers look for candidates who are strong leaders, AND strong team contributors. Someone who can lead, as well as be led. So highlight your leadership skills – and what the results were with the projects and teams that you’ve led. If you’re just started out in your career and haven’t led any projects or teams, then highlight any leadership experience you may have had in professional organizations, a sports league, in church, or any other extra-curricular activities. Also, list projects in which you were a strong team member in terms of what your role was, and what the team accomplished.

4. Be specific and clear. Don’t waste your resume space (or the hiring manager’s time) by using “filler” words or vague overarching comments like, “received awards for various contributions,” or “launched several products.” List the specific awards you received, or the names of the products you’ve launched. This gives your resume substance and credibility.

Don’t worry if it’s a product nobody’s heard about or is difficult to explain on your resume. You want the hiring manager to be curious about you. That’s why they have interviews – so they can get more information about your qualifications. Be brief. Be specific. And give them enough information that will leave them wanting more.

5. Showcase yourself at the right level. I review a lot of resumes and more times than not, the resume reflects the job candidate at a much lower level than what they really are. Use strong verbs like: managed, supervised, led, orchestrated, etc.

Also, sometimes less is more. You don’t need to include every job role you’ve ever had on your resume. When you keep lower level jobs on your resume, it brings your whole career level down a notch. And conversely, when you delete some of those lower level roles and focus on those jobs where you had more responsibilities and more significant accomplishments – you’re perceived at a level higher.

6. Use the correct format. There’s a chronological format, and there’s a skills-based format. Be sure to use the format that showcases you in the best way possible. Also, if you’re applying for a position posted on an on-line job board, like Monster or CareerBuilder, then make sure you use the text only format.

7. Always be truthful. The last thing you want to do is to overstate what you’ve accomplished and get into a job that you’re unqualified and inexperienced. Also, don’t be embarrassed if you have any gaps in employment. It is completely normal to have gaps. Life happens. Hiring managers understand this. If you took a break for more than a year, then just list the years and write next it, Career Break.

8. Relevant, targeted and customized. Employers don’t have time to read about every single skill and job that you’ve ever had. They just want to know, are you qualified to do their job? So spotlight only those skills and responsibilities that directly relate to that position.

Customize your resume to go for the job and company you want. A hiring manager will notice you so much more if your resume is specifically targeted to that position for which you are applying.

9. Write a personalized cover letter. Hiring managers form their first impression of you based on your resume and cover letter. So the last thing you want to do is send out a generic, mass mailing cover letter. It should be short, direct, state your key accomplishments, and be enthusiastic. Make it personal and be specific why you are passionate about going to work for that particular company.

10. Get a professional resume critique. Studies show that your resume has about 20-seconds in the hands of a hiring manager before it gets tossed into the maybe pile, or into the trash. So it needs to make a great first impression! Think of it this way – when you walk into an interview you want to make a great first impression so you’re going to dress well, wear a great pair of shoes, you’re going to smile more, etc. Well your resume needs to do the same thing.

You may think that your resume is sharp looking, but are you confident it’s going to help you stand out from your competition? Invest in having your resume professionally critiqued. Getting some personalized recommendations from a resume expert could not only get you more high quality job interviews, but it may also help position you at a higher level which could mean getting a higher starting salary!

However, these types of activities are only one side of social networks, and as many successful businesses have come to realise, online social networks can be the hubs for the application of far more effective business practices than in the past, including marketing. At the heart of this is the fact that business is a social activity, and those involved in business are social animals, seeking to belong to communities of interest and practice, as well as geographic communities. We see examples of this traditionally in industry bodies, chambers of commerce, and trade organisations but now, with social networks, the customers can join too.

It is a given that it is far easier to do business with people you like, as friendships mean that a relationship of trust can be built and sustained. This applies equally to customers and suppliers, and underlines the importance of CRM 2.0. Nurturing relationships with those with whom you do business has always been vitally important, and now social networks offer the tools to do this more efficiently online.

Those groups of people (your potential customers) in social networks may well share photos and videos, but they also make recommendations for products and brands, where to eat, shop, stay, as well as sharing contacts. A social network can be a honeypot for finding not just customers, but also contacts who may help you run your business more efficiently, provide services you need, or expand your product range.

However, the downside of this word of mouth/mouse activity is that it can also generate the type of negative criticism of a business which can spiral into a fall in sales or brand reputation very quickly, and hence the behaviour of your business within this space must be exemplary, and any negative ‘chatter’ needs to be monitored and reacted to …fast.

There are many aspects of social networking that a business can harness to grow its’ community of contacts and customers, and to develop strong relationships with its customers. This is the new form of Customer Relationship Management, where Conversations, Relationships and Meetings are more important than the old school ways of CRM 1.0 – such as maintaining a customer database, dealing with complaints efficiently, sending a Christmas card, etc.

The most successful businesses using the social networking space are those creating communities. The members of those communities are loyal and often vociferous in their support of a brand or product they endorse, and can become an efficient sales and marketing force if encouraged. Try finding someone in Innocent’s community of Smoothie lovers who has a bad word to say about the product or company……

Metcalfe’s Law states that the power of the network is the square of the number of its members. In other words, the more people you know, the stronger is your network. So, the most vital point about social networks comes from that age old adage: it is not what you know but who you know, and the more people you know and have relationships with, the better.

Tags are words which allow classification of information, not just by subject, but far more deeply, and the Internet has allowed a free form of tagging to develop, not using a list of permitted terms, but allowing users to add their own tags. This means that a wide variety of tags may be used to describe one particular idea or even an image, which has both pros and cons.

For instance, you may tag a document with a certain set of keywords, whilst another person sees it entirely differently and uses different tags to describe the information given in the document. This means that the number of keywords relating to that document is higher, and hence the potential audience who will find it is broader.

Allowing users to add their own tags has meant that when you search Flickr for a photo, Youtube for a video, or even Amazon for a book, user-generated tags will be part of the mix in the results you get.

These ‘social bookmarks’ make it possible to find items that have been classified by others who may use keywords and terms you are familiar with, but which may not be included in the text of the document, or the image.

The tag ‘humour’ is an example. A joke or a funny photo may not in itself include the word ‘humour’ but it is obvious to all who read or see it that it would fall into the category ‘humour’.

Another example is when tagging is used, as was the case with academic papers, to describe content in a succinct, and therefore easily indexable manner. For instance, this article could include the tags:

Article, internet marketing, tagging, tags, keywords, social bookmarks, organic search

But you might also add:

semantic web, search engine optimisation, folksonomies

None of the latter terms are actually included in the article but all are relevant tags, and would mean that those searching on those particular keywords could then find this article.

Tagging is now used extensively on the internet, and it is worth understanding that tags develop very quickly in response to cultural changes, buzz, news items etc. Finding which tags are generating a buzz means that you can include these tags as keywords on your site and generate more organic search results.

Organic search is now extremely important as a source of traffic to any website, but it works best when you include as many keywords, or tags, as possible in a cohesive manner on your website. This does not mean randomly scattering popular keywords around your site (as used to be the case with terms such as ‘Pamela Anderson’!), but by including the popular terms relevant to your niche in your content.

These tags can be stand alone as part of your page to answer the WIIFM (What’s In It For Me) question your visitors ask as soon as they land on your site, or to categorise your content, or as an integral part of your content.

However you choose to use tags, they are an ever-growing part of the internet, of the way people search, and connect with information, and spending a little time looking at how different sites and users work with tags is a must.

If you want to put news on your site, make sure that you have the resources to keep it up to date and fresh. Many small businesses have websites which are difficult to update in-house, especially where there is a lack of IT knowledge or web wise employees. However, help is at hand for easy updates with the likes of Blogger and similar tools that allow you to type in content and be immediately visible to your visitors. This saves paying a website designer each time you want to add a snippet of information.

If you are contemplating a new website, it is always worth considering how you will keep it updated and ensuring you have an easy to use content management system so that you are in charge of all updates. Even within a very small micro business, it is worth making the time to update your site yourself and save yourself the costs of using an ‘expert’ to make the changes for you. It can take as long to explain to them what you need doing as just doing it yourself, and once you are accustomed to the content management system, site updates can become part of your daily or weekly task list.

You can also add content automatically by including RSS feeds from other sites who do have the resources to update regularly. These could include news sources and industry sites who cover stories which may be of interest to your target audience, and are nearly always free to include in your website.

The content on your website will help to shape the opinions of potential customers, and ensure you stand out from your competitors. You should not just regurgitate the same old content others have, nor copy it from elsewhere. Your content should be yours and unique.

In order to create valuable content, you need to get to know your potential customers and site visitors, and envisage what they want to read about, or are interested in. You can find this out with a poll asking what people would like to know more about, or by asking visitors what they came to the site for, or what they expected to find. This feedback can be invaluable in not only creating the right content, but also in understanding your site visitors and your target audience, as well as engaging with them.

Content should include keywords, be easy to read (even if highly technical), unique to your site, and regularly checked to ensure that what it says is still accurate. It should also be easy to link to for others who have found it valuable, so where it is an article or news item, add easy ways to bookmark it, including delicious, stumbleupon etc for social bookmarking sites.

Customers now have a far wider choice in suppliers because of websites and e-commerce, and can also look at reviews of products, compare prices, and find out from other prosumers all about the company; for instance, whether the after sales experience is good, bad or indifferent when something goes wrong.

One bad customer can start an avalanche of complaints online which, if not monitored and responded to, can lead to the biggest PR headache of all time. Prosumers do not necessarily complain directly to you, they quite often go to their favourite forum, blog or social network and type their moans there.

It is important to monitor as often as you can what is being said about your company or products. This can be done without a substantial increase in resources, using tools such as Google Alerts, which will email you when your keywords crop up in the search engines.

However, it is also important to ensure that the information on the Internet about your product is as accurate and fair as possible so that prosumers make an informed choice when making the purchase decision. Assuming that all the information about your product is on YOUR website is a bad move.

There may well be reviews, (good and bad) on the many consumer sites out there for just that purpose; there may be critical as well as positive comments on forums and social networks, in blogs; or a thumbs down on stumbleupon, and part of the marketing mix these days is to find and deal with these.

Just posting a few positive testimonials from satisfied customers on your own site will not cater for the prosumer who looks everywhere but on your site to make an informed choice. After all, the prosumer assumes that your site will only have positive comments about the product or brand, and will seek the other side of the story elsewhere on the Internet.

Eliminating unfair or negative comments may be time-consuming, but it will make all the difference to your sales ledger. Contacting those who have posted about your product is always a good idea, offer public explanations as to why a particular complaint or problem has occurred, and always apologise. You can offer a particular customer a refund, or a replacement. Make sure that the customer is dealt with in such a way that they will feel obliged to retract any negative postings, and start singing your praises instead. Be friendly, and develop a relationship with the disgruntled party.

It may be that the person you are dealing with is a serial complainer, and that you are facing an uphill struggle. You will never remove every negative comment from the Internet, so don’t worry about the odd few difficult customers. Just as a few negative reviews on Amazon have never been shown to directly affect sales of books, so the prosumer will feel that a smattering of less than complimentary remarks gives a more credible picture of how other prosumers feel.

Focus on those who are posting on high traffic sites or blogs, and engage with them. And once you have dealt with the problems online, don’t forget to work out why the problem occurred in the first place and put the systems in place in your business to ensure it cannot happen again.

Additionally, there may be frequently asked questions about your products and business that are time-consuming to answer, or additional material that you would be willing to make available to your customers, but that you are unwilling to share for free.

This is where publishing a book of your knowledge could prove a worthwhile exercise. Not only could it reduce the time you spend giving away your expertise for nothing, but it could prove economically beneficial.

Publishing no longer means needing to send manuscripts out and receiving letters of rejection, nor having to find large sums of money to self-publish. The advent of on demand publishing means that you can publish a book, catalogue, or even a DVD, with little or no financial outlay through companies such as Lulu or Amazon’s CreateSpace. These companies print a book only when a copy is sold, thereby reducing the need to store copies of your book. They also handle sales and shipping, meaning that you are free to get on with running your business.

Your book might be an e-book rather than a printed copy, and therefore available as an immediate download. These e-books have been used effectively by internet marketers for years to generate revenue, and can be sold far more cheaply than a printed version. An e-book can be sold for as little as £1, or as much as you choose, and it is very easy to include a link to your ebook in emails, on websites etc, thereby adding yet another product to your range. Most on demand publishers offer the chance to produce a manuscript as both a print copy and an e-book.

The benefits of on demand publishing include the fact that any amendments to the book can be made directly to the PDF file and any further copies sold will include these revisions. This is a distinct advantage over the old method of having to include an amendments sheet in each copy of the older version of the printed book, or worse, having to bin all copies of the previous edition. This works especially well for catalogues and brochures, and can reduce your annual spend on such items considerably.

You receive a percentage of the sales (royalties), and once your book is produced and marketed, there is little else you need do beyond bank the cheques.

Everyone has a book inside them, and you do not need to be a great writer to produce a book about your business. If you have real problems writing, it is worth employing a ghost writer to turn your ideas and knowledge into a book, especially if the book is likely to solve problems within the business like answering phone calls and emails asking the same questions over and over again. Just being able to offer your customers the answers for a nominal sum will see you recoup your investment quite quickly.

We have to tell you that using an honor bot is against the terms of service according to blizzard, the creators of World of Warcraft but we also have to sat that they are not doing much against it at the moment. If they do catch you all your honor points will be gone and you will be baned from the server for three days, that is of course when it is your first offence. The penalty for a second offence is not known, at least not by me.

When you are going to use a bot you will have to think about where and in what situation you are going set it up. Make sure all the moves that you program are correct and test it before you put it on auto pilot.

You should ask yourself the question if it is worth the trouble you can get in to. While it is tempting to use an honor bot, certainly for newcomers to the game, it does not help you in learning the game. Maybe it will give you a lot of honor in the time that you are doing other things but you will have lost experience, not in points but in real game play experience.

After all, doing it all by yourself and gaining points by fighting that monster gives you more satisfaction and you learn new tricks with which the next monster is killed a lot easier or that quest will end sooner. When you tell your friends how much honor you have in World of Warcraft, it’s better to tell them about all the monsters you had to slay to get that much, then to tell them you built it up while having dinner or when you were at school.

Using a bot, in the end, will not gain you honor while your away, not really.
