Starting a Lucrative Online Business for Financial Freedom Online

 by: Valerie Melton

When one starts their online business, generally speaking they cannot afford to spend a lot of money on PPC campaigns or pay for Google Sponsored Ads, especially when they don’t even know if their efforts will bring guaranteed success. So how do people start a successful campaign without and advertising budget to play with?

Well, you must’ve heard about Article Marketing. Most of us have heard about it but just feel it takes too much time and effort to do it. There must be an easier and quicker way to promote your business right? Wrong! Article Marketing has become one of the most risk free, popular, tried and tested online marketing strategies used to get more traffic and publicity for your online business, leading to more sales.

There are no shortcuts to building a lucrative online business. So the sooner you learn to accept that you will need to write your own articles for your online business or alternatively pay someone to write them for you, the better.

As they say; “the best things in life are generally free”. Well, it applies to article writing so aptly. You don’t need to know HTML coding or have any internet marketing experience or background to do it successfully. It is a tried and tested online marketing strategy, there is no escaping it.

You can reach global audiences, establish your business credibility, brand yourself, enhance the presence and visibility of your website online, sell any service or product you have, pre-sell your product, gain resell value for your brand and get niche-based international promotions for your business and products … and it can be done free (assuming you are willing to put in the time and effort). I guess it all boils down to, how badly do you want to make it online? How important is the success of your business to you? Are you really serious about gaining financial freedom online?

This article, and my personal website, is built around those who have a burning desire to make money on the internet by getting their businesses off the ground, leading to total online success, who need cheap, no cost or low cost ways to do it. It is for those who have a realistic understanding or acceptance that there is no quick get rich scheme or program online that can make you rich over night. All businesses take hours of sweat, tears and hard work to make them lucrative.

So how does one start? Here are some guidelines for you to help you in your Article Marketing efforts:

Your article should be theme based (based on the subject matter of your website, product or service).

It should be no less than 500 words.

Make sure your article has quality based content in it. Recycling useless information is simply not going to work – period! You should incorporate lots of useful tips and practical advice that the reader can follow and substantiate what you are saying in your article.

Your article needs to be Search Engine friendly, ie. Search Engines will need the right set of keywords throughout your article so that they can easily index your articles on their search page. Think of the keywords relevant to your website, product or service. Keywords are the words that people are most likely to search for on Google, as well as keywords that are popular with your audience.

Make sure you have an end objective or a call to action at the end of your article, eg. For more tips and tricks delivered to your inbox every week, join our Newsletter here.

Choose a captivating title for your article. This is one of the first things your reader sees. Your title will determine whether your reader will read your article or not. It either grabs their attention or not. Ensure your title also contains the relevant keywords. The title on your article actually determines its popularity or ranking online – so pay serious attention to it. Sometimes it is easier to write your article and then think of a fitting title for it. Keyword Research can go a long way into helping you here.

Make sure your articles are unique and original. Don’t let your article or title be something everyone has already read about on all the scores of similar articles of recycled information available online. This will reduce your credibility and you will not be able to track your article online either.

Don’t use keywords in your title that have no relevance to your article or subject at hand. We all live in a fast paced world where no one has time to read stuff that is either obvious, redundant or unnecessary.

Don’t make the common mistake of putting your company’s name in the title – this is way too old and redundant. Don’t populate this limited space with unnecessary words like a company name. This title is to be seen as a one-way ticket to getting indexed on search engines.

Since time is precious to your readers and they don’t have time to scan your entire article to find out what is in it for them – try to put the benefits for them in your title.

Once you have completed your article, you will be required to fill in an Authors Biography. Sell yourself here. This needs to make a lasting impressing on the minds of the readers and will also enhance your credibility online. A Bio should highlight your skills, competencies, achievements and give the readers a glimpse of your experience and qualities. You really do need to make the most of this space too. Self flattery won’t work either. People need facts only. If possible you should make a note of key milestones with dates in order the impress your readers, giving integrity to your work but be sure not to turn it into a fact sheet without personality or flavor. You need to devote time to creating your own impressive Author Biography.

Now you need to add the URL to your website, product, business or blog. Professional authors no longer use their real website name in the anchor text. They embed the link in a phrase that contains keywords. If you want to use your real website name in the link, consider doing it in conjunction with keywords, eg. “Website name – Your one stop book shop”, or something to that effect.

This phrase should be relevant to the audience you wish to attract and should contain keywords relevant to your site. This URL is the most crucial part of the Author Biography, as this is what leads to better click through rates to your website. The Bio should only really be one or two sentences long, so only mention things there that make you an authority on what you’ve written. These sentences must relate directly to your topic. You need to convince the reader that by clicking on your link, they will benefit somehow. You can even include a quote you like or aspire to which will assist the readers to connect with you on a more personal level. Selling is all about touching other people’s emotions and connecting with them. Start your Bio in the first person to give personal insight into your beliefs and values, shift a little later to the third person to give a more neutral and unbiased perspective to your authority on the subject matter.

Once you are finished, then submit your article to one or two article directories ONLY and make sure you read the guidelines. This gives your article exclusivity. If your article appears in Google with a page rank based on your keywords you’ve written about, your site traffic will suddenly increase and you will make sales. Now repeat the same exercise at least once a week, preferably more and you’ll start to succeed with your new business online. What did it cost? Well, if you did it yourself, it cost nothing! So maybe it is true … “the best things in life are free”

Remember, article writing is a tried and tested online marketing strategy that will guarantee you free quality visitors to your website that will enable your financial freedom online. Better articles equals better PR (Page Rank), better PR equals better business. Invest time into building up your new online business and you are sure to make money online.

Side Payments

When two parties involved in a transaction exchange money that is not part of the transaction itself, the exchange is a side payment. It is typically made to induce the recipient to take part in the transaction. The most notorious side payments are kickbacks and other types of bribes, but side payments can take many forms, some perfectly legitimate. For example, if several countries join a pact to reduce air pollution, a downwind country that has the most to gain from clean air may make a side payment to an upwind country to give it some incentive to participate in what would otherwise be a losing proposition.

Side Payments———1923 Kickbacks and Commissions Side payments raise ethical questions when they create conflicts of interest or provide incentives to break the rules. The classic example is a purchasing agent for a firm who receives a kickback from a vendor selected by the agent. The vendor “kicks back” to the agent some of the profits gained from the purchasing contract. This normally creates a conflict of interest, because it is in the firm’s interest to award the contract to the most attractive bidder, while it is in the agent’s personal interest to award it to the firm that will provide a kickback.

Kickbacks should not be confused with commissions. Someone who hires an agent, a broker, or a salesperson may pay that person a commission for services rendered. The purchasing agent’s kickback is not a commission because it is paid by someone other than the party that hired the agent. Commissions normally do not create conflicts of interest but can do so in some circumstances. Real estate agents, for example, typically receive a fixed percentage of the sales price as commission. This may create a conflict of interest for an agent hired by the buyer, since it provides an incentive to negotiate a higher price than necessary.

There are several related types of payments that may or may not create conflicts of interest. An attorney who refers a potential client to a second lawyer may receive a referral fee from the second lawyer. This is not a side payment because it is not external to another transaction involving the lawyers, and there is no obvious conflict of interest. Financial advisers (or, more frequently, the banks that employ them) may receive a retrocession payment from a mutual fund when the adviser’s client buys shares of that fund. This is a side payment but is not identical to a kickback since it normally goes to the bank rather than an individual. It can create a conflict of interest, however, since the bank may give its advisers incentives to recommend funds that pay retrocession.

Millionaires and Billionaires

One million dollars has long seemed the threshold of American plutocracy even if John D.Rockefeller passed the billion dollar mark in 1913. Yet Forbes magazine noted that in 1996 more than 110,000 families reported incomes of over 1 million, while the number of millionaire families topped 5 million at the end of the century and is expected to quadruple by 2010. Reflecting both prosperity and inflation, this benchmark now regularly figures in multimillion dollar contracts for sports figures, Hollywood stars, executives and the “young self-made millionaire” entrepreneurs of Silicon Valley. Yet it is also portrayed as an accessible goal for a typical American person in coverage of lotteries as well as television programs that promise wealth through game shows or televised marriage. Meanwhile, Forbes also noted that their list of billionaires had skyrocketed from 13 in 1982 to 267 Americans in 1999, led by Bill Gates (roughly $100 billion), whose personal charitable foundation alone has assets of over $21 billion. While affirming the American myth of rags to riches, these plateaus also raise questions about equality class and opportunity for many Americans.

Chaebol

A chaebol is a family-controlled South Korean conglomerate. While the founding families do not own majority stakes in the companies, Korean culture allows them to maintain control out of respect for their long associations with the businesses. Among major chaebol are Samsung, LG, Hyundai, and SK Group. Chaebol produce nearly two thirds of South Korea’s exports and attract 70% of foreign capital inflows. South Korean government-chaebol cooperation has been termed an unholy alliance, with rampant favoritism and corruption and little transparency. While that cooperation has been credited with fueling the nation’s growth and transformation, critics say it also has led to monopolistic and oligopolistic concentration of capital and economically profitable activities. The chaebol culture is now accused of stifling creativity, amassing political power for leading families rather than maximizing profits, providing an unfair playing field for small and medium-sized enterprises, and excluding women and divergent voices from management. Chaebol payoffs to former South Korean presidents Chun Doo Hwan and Roh Tae Woo were estimated to be in the hundreds of millions, and perhaps billions, of dollars, subsequently leading to the convictions of those leaders.

Webs of cross-shareholdings enable families running the chaebol to covertly transfer funds from healthy companies to weaker ones in the group. As a result, investors in high-performing companies in the chaebol are forced to subsidize survival of frail members. In addition, the South Korean government has pursued a “too big to fail” doctrine, with governmentowned banks regularly rescuing large firms despite continuing huge losses, resulting in chaebol acquiring massive debt. Foreign investors have long applied a “Korea discount” of 20% or more to Seoultraded shares, showing reluctance to pay high valuations on companies that may be secretly controlled  by insiders.

In 1997, following devaluation of the Korean won, the International Monetary Fund bailed out South Korea with an aid package worth almost $60 billion. That aid came with strict conditions that South Korea reform its economy and the chaebol. The chaebol situation was the key issue in the 2002 South Korean presidential race, with Roh Moo Hyun, a crusading civil rights lawyer, riding into office on a wave of reformist sentiment.
Avariety of reformative measures have been taken. For example, Chey Tae Won, chairman and CEO of SK Group and heir to the company’s founding family, was arrested in 2003 and jailed on misappropriation charges. He was convicted of accounting fraud and breach of his fiduciary duties and sentenced to 3 years in jail. Nevertheless, he served just 3 months in prison and remains at the head of the chaebol. Laws implemented in 2004 limit the amount conglomerates may loan or invest in their affiliate companies, require disclosure of shares held by members of the top executives’ families, and permit the Bank of Korea to investigate the assets of owners’ family members to prevent concealment of assets. Largely because of reform efforts, 12 of Korea’s top 30 chaebol prior to 1998 no longer exist as coherent entities. Nevertheless, some critics argue that reform has been slow, tentative, and incomplete, hampered in part by recent scandals surrounding Roh Moo Hyun’s aides and donors. Reform may also face opposition since forced closure of loss-making chaebol businesses would result in cutting 200,000 or more jobs and because of the still massive power of the chaebol.
