    Nice list for newcomers lastbutnotleast!

    I'd just add to temper all your efforts with constant self-assessment. Make sure what your working on IS what will get the BEST results FASTEST. Then do it. Keyword research using a service like Wordtracker will help a person get a good idea of web trends and areas to target in their specific market.

    Keep up the great posts!

    Oh yes,

    Do you know any good people, sites etc. to get quality information about writing a press release.

    I really could use some help in this area. A good coach would be right down my alley and probably make my week.

    Thanks,

    Herman

    Different we as newbies compare to our seniors, they have credibility & trust and we don't. I think this is priority No.1 to develop well if we want to boom our sales.

    The rest thing we should work hard on this 5 criteria
    1.Create HOPE to the people
    -million people search for hope just wanna to know SECRET..e.g how to make money, remove fat, find love etc..ironically when they know that tough into action whatsoever simply they throw away, kiv, etc...The funny thing is after one month they looking the same thing again and again..We as marketeers just take advantage from this.

    2.Create a sense of urgency
    -simple when we do marketing say that this is last one, you come tomorrow no more..

    3.Appear as an Authority
    -why your prospect need to buy from you? Hey..they have option buy from your seniors rite?Ermm..building recommendation from third party, unbiased people and bloggers say that you are good and I wonder why our prospect turn and believed this thing?? :rolleyes:

    4.Encourage fear
    -recently I check have thousand product scam people..I headache this thing happen and wanna to stop this now. Below is my research about 1 years test this thing work!..:p


    5.Be very unusual reverse psychology attempt
    -If we have own product ask them buy and try others product first, not satisfied with them then come to us. I show you the smart way

    Very good info.

    You know, I never really took social bookmarking seriously....until this past Sunday.

    I went to socialmarker.com and submitted one of my blog post to about 20-30 social sites out of the 42 they had listed.

    500 visits, 9 adsense clicks, 30 hops, 5 blog subscribers, and 1 affiliate sale later, I am never going to underestimate social bookmarking again!

    Now those numbers may not seem like much, but compared to numbers I've been dealing with this past month, it is freaking awesome!

    Granted the traffic from social bookmarking is not that good, however, if your blog post is really good captivating content, it could turn into something huge.

    Very good advice Spritwalker,
    For those who keep record your post is worthy
    of bookmarking. For other beginners, it is a
    good thing to keep reference to educational posts.

    You may want also to add optin boxes to collect email address and continue to build relationship of trust to your subscribers and readers. Always add value and help in any way...

    Great tips!! I can't stress how important writing and submitting good quality articles has been for business. Give people sound advice and point them in the right direction with the content in your articles and you can't go wrong. Peace.

    Most importantly, generate trust among your clients so they will feel more comfortable in purchasing.

    I haven't really tried email marketing because it requires money to start.

    Given that this was written last year, are there any new tricks or techniques that a new blogger should be using? Also, how much traffic does your blog need to get before you actually get any money from Adsense etc?
