Online Education – Making It Easy to Change Careers Mid-Stream

Posted on by

Most people who are in dead end jobs feel stuck. They would love to make a career change, but don't feel they have the time to learn a new skill. The hours they work now can interfere with being able to go back to school, even for night classes. But what if you could learn at your own pace? And from the comfort of your own home?

Online education, also known as distance education, is perfect for people who have little time to squeeze a traditional education into their schedule. Most people who are in the middle of their careers have children as well. This adds even more stress to one's ability to find time for learning. How about learning when and where you can? When you have that small amount of time to further your education, you'll use your time wisely and take your education more seriously.

Distance education is perfect for those who need the skills now to make a change. At the Internet Marketing Training Center, we can teach you the skills for a new career: a career that's high in demand by employers, non-profits, or you can use the skills to create your own part time or full time business: one that brings in a lot of extra money. At IMTC, we will give you ideas about how to use your Internet Marketing education to get the job of your dreams or start a business.

Why wait? It's time to get out of that dead end job and take your life and career as far as it can go. Call us at 757.687.5190 or download our free career guide at http://www.imtcva.org  and see what your future can hold.

3 Great List Building Tips

3 List Building Tips

3 List Building Tips

The key factor in online marketing is building up your list and should be the number one priority for any marketing campaign. Simply by building up a list of subscribers helps you to create a solid platform for now and into the future. Lets talk about 3 list building techniques that's simple to setup and and proven to bring results.

Tip #1: Offer Something For Free

This may sound easy, that's because it really is. You would want to offer something that has value to your visitors, in exchange for their email and name. The free gift can actually be anything that is downloadable as long as you have the rights to distribute it. One of the most effective ways for list building and driving traffic to your free offering is by creating a “squeeze page”. Joining in JV Giveaways is another excellent way to get your free offering out to hundreds or maybe thousands of possible prospects at no cost. You should also join several forums in your niche and make a profile signature in which you'd be able to link back to the squeeze page you created. By doing so, every time you make a contribution to a specific forum by posting a thread or comment your signature will be added, normally below your post.

Tip #2: Go Viral by Distributing eBooks

You can find an abundant amount of free content across the Internet that you can utilize for your list building campaign. Another good way to find content for your campaign is by using Private Label Rights. After you've gathered enough content you can now reuse the material to create your very own unique eBooks. Within your eBooks you can insert links that point back to your sales letter or squeeze page and take advantage of the viral behavior of eBooks that's in rotation and downloaded every day throughout the Internet. In order to create an eBook you simply need to create a word doc and then save it as a pdf file. You can upload your eBooks to eBooks directories, as well as article directories on the Internet, which will be distributed through these websites to drive major free traffic to your sales letter or squeeze pages.

Tip #3: Making Use of Pop Overs & Exit Pops

By using pop overs and exit pops enables you to acquire the specifics of potential prospects who attempts to leave your website without opting in for your particular offer. Exit pops may be more preferable because they are only activated whenever someone attempts to leave the website. Many find this far less pushy and annoying. Pop overs and exit pops are scripts that enables a new window to open whenever someone that has been searching your website for a specific time frame or when they decide to leave the website all together. By using these pop scripts you should see a substantial improvement in your conversions. By using WordPress as your website platform, you should be able to find several plugins with these pop features.

Start Your Own Internet Business – The Skills To Own Your Future

Posted on by

You hear thousands of commercials and get inundated daily with email ads about starting your own online business. Yes. There is a lot of money available to make online. It is the new frontier of business and advertising, especially geared towards people just starting out in their own business or work from home venture. The reason is the affordability. Compared to opening your own physical retail store, the investment of which is far out of the reach of average people, the Internet provides a low-cost alternative to any traditional business venture.

That's not where most Internet businesses fail, however. The problem is with people buying into work at home programs without the proper training in running an online business.  Regardless of what some work at home program touts, it takes a degree of skill to effectively sell products and services to others online. If you have purchased work at home programs before and have been disappointed with the results, there were probably fundamental skills missing that would have helped you succeed.

These are the skills that the Internet Marketing Training Center teaches:

* Using videos to brand your business

* Using social networking to inexpensively reach millions of your potential customers

* Writing effective web copy to motivate viewers to buy

* Using an e-commerce system to seamlessly deliver your products

* Interactive marketing using autoresponders, blogs, forums and newsletters

Very few, if any, work at home programs teach you fundamental marketing skills. That's why so many people fail. If you are really serious about starting (and succeeding) in an online business or just want to get a job working for someone else, IMTC has the skills you need. Come check out our site and see what we mean.
