Many people are interested in making money with internet marketing and you will see more people joining the business due to the recent economy slump. Many are attracted by the tagline that they can earn millions of dollar with just a few hours of work a week. But you see, building a successful internet marketing business doesn’t work that way.
Please understand that internet marketing is the same as any offline business you are trying to build. It requires discipline, effort, patience, confident and more affirmative attitude. If you are looking for anything faster and easier way to make money, you might want to look some where else.
Then, what can you do to make money with internet marketing?
The answer is to write articles. Now some of you might complaint that you can’t write. But who was born and destine to write? Most good writer will tell you that they practice a lot before they can express themselves beautifully through words.
Articles are excellent to build trust and to show your readers that you possess certain knowledge of that particular field. Then you can refer your readers to your website by revealing your URL at the end of the article. Now, your readers are going to visit you and buy from you only when they feel that they can trust you.
But have you ever thought of selling your articles as your product? Let’s say you have written 100 articles for your internet marketing business and your articles are attracting regular readers. You can then turn all these articles into private label right (PLR) product and sell it off. If you are charging $50 for all your PLR, imagine how much you can earn with 10 customers a month. You might comment that it is just $500 dollars but when you think about it, $500 can do a lot of good in the current economy.
Some of you might be afraid that there is no market for PLR product. Actually, there is nothing to be worry about. This is because as more people are trying to make money with internet marketing, they are going to need contents for their website. As long as you can market your PLR product to them, you will continue to earn a living online.
Since you can make good money with PLR product, do you want to start writing?

Atlantic Canada Internet Marketing Association (ACIMA)
To learn a little more about ACIMA, I interviewed the association’s President, Rob Swick. As founding President of ACIMA, Swick coordinates the overall association activities. He also leads the charge for the association’s promotion and growth.
Jarboe: ACIMA is a relatively new trade association, dedicated to unifying the Internet marketing community in the Atlantic Provinces (Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland) and to promoting best practices in this growing field. What are Canadians in this region most excited about in this Web 2.0 world? Any particular tools or developments that stand out?
Swick: Not on thing in particular. But Atlantic Canadians are famous talkers. It’s a very social culture, so Web 2.0 in general has a high appeal. One thing I was surprised to see that even government seems to be shifting to Web 2.0 press releases. Usually government would be slow to adopt things like that but there’s a real sense of understanding of this particular sea change.
Jarboe: How would you characterize Canadian search habits or queries? Or for that matter, in the Atlantic Provinces? Do search trends hover more heavily around generic keywords?
Swick: It’s amazing how persistent broad search queries are, but the numbers show that search tail is producing better visitors, lower bounce rates, more time on the site, so we target those and we target more broadly and with more depth. I imagine it’s the same all around.
Jarboe: Canada’s population is about 1/10th of that of the United States. How underdeveloped is e-commerce in Canada and where do you see ACIMA’s role in expanding it?
Swick: Until a few years ago this was a real issue. People still talked about whether ecommerce was safe and reports kept showing that the smaller percentage of Canadians who DID want to shop online couldn’t find Canadian etailers to shop from. Things have changed a lot – and quickly. I think Canadians gravitated first to things like online banking and paying bills online. Maybe it’s the cold! Canadians love doing things from the comfort of their homes. And now that they’ve made the leap numbers for even big purchase items are showing that Canadians are catching up quickly and embracing the convenience and value you can get through ecommerce. Kijiji apparently is growing more rapidly here, and especially in Atlantic Canada, than in the US.
Jarboe: How important is the .CA domain when creating a Canadian website? Is .COM considered an affront?
Swick: Both are fine in Canada. They’re the most common extensions. Dot-ca is what a lot of companies have because it allows Canadian companies to actually get their name as a domain. Dotcom is just as acceptable if you happen to have it. Either – or. We’re practical people. I don’t think anyone sees dotcom as ‘American’. It’s just ‘Internet’. You even see some provincial extensions (for Nova Scotia for example it’s domain.ns.ca) though most people find those cumbersome and irritating. They’re more common in Quebec which has a more nationalistic leaning. You’ve probably heard a little about that – remember the time on the Simpson’s that Homer was reading the newspaper and said “hmmm…they’re holding a referendum in Canada”. Okay, probably not.
Jarboe: Social media tools are all the buzz right now. Twitter, in particular, is receiving lots of attention. What’s your take on Twitter? Do you see the Internet marketing community in the Atlantic Provinces using it effectively to market their business?
Swick: I think it’s still mostly for early adopters, though they’re a passionate, active, and involved group and I think it’s the actual personalities – I could name a handful of names – that are building networks of Tweeting friends and followers and they’re taking the message into their companies that this is a cool and efficient way to get the word around on what’s happening now. As a mainstream tool… Facebook, Twitter, Linked-In, each one I think currently has a thin slice of influence. At our AIM conference we have three different talks on Social Media. The interest is there. The adoption…. just starting.
Jarboe: What do you look forward to most in attending SES Toronto? Any particular panels or sessions?
Swick: I always enjoy meeting and seeing the speakers I haven’t seen before. I’m also more interested in optimizing for different countries and languages so will be looking forward to hearing and talking about that. I first worked in Montreal so have done a lot of optimizing for French engines – but now many of our projects are truly global so there’s a lot to learn about specific engines in other countries, usage and behavioural patterns. Lots and lots to learn – it’s a big globe.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has regained the top spot on Forbes’ annual list of the world’s richest people as investment guru Warren Buffett and Mexican telecom magnate Carlos Slim each lost $US25 billion ($A38.71 billion).
Bill Gates lost just $US18 billion ($A27.87 billion) in the financial apocalypse that hit world markets last year and is now worth $US40 billion ($A61.93 billion) compared to Warren Buffet’s $US37 billion ($A57.28 billion) and Slim’s $US35 billion ($A54.19 billion).
The financial devastation took a heavy toll on the world’s billionaire’s club, with the top 10 richest people losing a total of $US238 billion ($A368.48 billion) – more than the gross domestic product of Ireland or Israel.
In total the number of billionaires in the 2009 rich list fell to 793 from 1,125 a year earlier, while the total net worth of the billionaire’s club was just $US2.4 trillion ($A3.72 trillion) – down from $US4.4 trillion ($A6.81 trillion) the year earlier.
The average billionaire is now worth $US3 billion ($A4.64 billion), down from $US3.9 billion ($A6.04 billion) in 2007.
The year’s biggest loser was India’s Anil Ambani, who saw his value decline by $US31.9 billion ($A49.39 billion) to $US10.1 billion ($A15.64 billion). His compatriot Lakshmi Mittal also suffered staggering losses. His fortune plummeted $US25.7 billion ($A39.79 billion) to $US19.3 billion ($A29.88 billion).
Recession Wipes 30% Of Forbes Billionaires Off List
Forbes says there are now 793 billionaires, down 30% from last year, and the first drop since 2003. The average billionaire’s net worth dropped 23%.
WSJ: Despite losing $18 billion in the past year, Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates reclaimed the title of richest man in the world, with a total net worth of $40 billion.
Warren Buffett is No. 2, with $37 billion. He lost $25 billion in the past year as shares in his company, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., dropped nearly a third in value. Mexican telecom titan Carlos Slim Helu, who lost $25 billion, is third, and Oracle Corp. Chief Executive Larry Ellison is No. 4.
Meanwhile, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg — last year’s youngest billionaire — dropped off the list as the value of his Facebook stock dropped.
