Online Game “Blue Whale” Blamed for Suicides Amongst Players

The Indian Supreme Court says online portals must spread awareness about the deadly game.

India’s Supreme Court is holding hearings by advocates who want the online game “Blue Whale” banned after blaming it for 100 suicides throughout the country, according to The Indian Express.

The game issues various challenges to participants over a 50-day period; on the final day, players are instructed to complete the game by committing suicide.

The phenomenon has recently been in the spotlight in Iran too, after two girls attempted to kill themselves by jumping off a bridge (one died, the other was critically injured). Authorities later found an audio message recorded by the girls, bidding goodbye to their parents and proclaiming they would “take their lives to complete the Blue Whale game”, according to local news agency Mizan Online.

Consumer goods firms harness online data to tap Southeast Asia e-commerce boom

SINGAPORE/BANGKOK (Reuters) – When diaper maker DSG International (Thailand) wants to know what its customers are thinking, it often turns to Lazada, an e-commerce firm majority-owned by Alibaba Group Holding (BABA.N).

“From (their) data, we know mothers sometimes browse at night, so we can offer flash sales when we know customers are browsing,” says Ambrose Chan, the Thai company’s CEO.

Southeast Asia is the world’s fastest-growing internet market, home to 600 million consumers from Vietnam to Indonesia via Singapore, many of them tech- and social media-savvy. They are rapidly spending more time and money online. A Nielsen study in 2015 estimated Southeast Asia’s middle-class will hit 400 million by 2020, doubling from 2012.

Gross merchandise value of ecommerce in Southeast Asia will balloon to $ 65.5 billion by 2021, from $ 14.3 billion last year, predicts consultancy Frost & Sullivan.

Research firm Euromonitor forecasts internet retailing in Indonesia, for example, will more than double to $ 6.2 billion by 2021, and Thailand will increase 85 percent to $ 2.8 billion.

Consumer goods firms, such as Unilever (UNc.AS) and Japanese cosmetics firm Shiseido (4911.T), say the e-commerce boom allows them to push deeper into markets that can otherwise be difficult to understand and tough to penetrate due to poor retail networks and infrastructure.

“Data from Lazada has been used to position certain products where consumer preferences are different. For example, Thai customers like to buy diapers in special cartons, while Malaysians prefer multiple packs,” says Chan.

To reach more customers and get a better handle on their online behavior, consumer goods companies are forging partnerships with e-commerce firms like Lazada and fashion website Zalora.

POWERFUL, INSIGHTFUL

A customer who clicked on a 50 milliliter product may instead buy a smaller 30 ml product, said Pranay Mehra, vice president, digital and e-commerce at Shiseido Asia Pacific, noting that data and online selling experience can help firms bundle offers, decide on packaging and distribution, and influence where to set up a physical presence.

“This data is very powerful and very insightful, if used properly,” Mehra added.

Unilever, whose products range from Hellmann’s mayonnaise to Dove soap, said it is seeing more demand from rural consumers in developing markets like Indonesia and Vietnam.

“With all our e-commerce partners, we’re using data to help us find innovative solutions to unlock key barriers of high cost delivery and poor credit card penetration in remote areas,” said Anusha Babbar, e-commerce director at Unilever Southeast Asia and Australasia.

The conglomerate, which works with the likes of Singapore online grocer RedMart, Indonesia’s Blibli and Vietnam’s Tiki, said it introduced its St Ives skincare brand on Lazada after seeing a trend towards natural products and shopper search data.

DATA AND LOGISTICS

“Traditional retailers will struggle to see customer behavior,” said Lazada Thailand’s CEO, Alessandro Piscini. “We can tell if a customer is pregnant from their search behavior.”

Lazada, he said, plans to use data science to help its merchants customize offers for specific customer groups based on age, gender and other preferences.

Zalora, which sells clothing and accessories online in markets including Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, said it was working on ad-hoc projects with some brands to help them understand their customers based on data.

Lazada and Zalora are among the few e-commerce platforms that operate in multiple Southeast Asian countries. But the region is becoming a new battleground as Amazon (AMZN.O) and JD.com (JD.O) make beachheads in Singapore and Thailand.

Lazada Thailand will focus on partnering with fast-moving consumer goods companies to maintain its lead, Piscini said, and is expanding its logistics footprint across a region that has poor roads, clogged cities and thousands of often remote islands.

To be sure, online still contributes a tiny portion to consumer goods companies’ sales, but some local firms are going beyond partnerships and investing in their own e-commerce capabilities.

Thailand’s top consumer goods manufacturer Saha Group (SPI.BK) (SPC.BK) has seen online sales of some of its brands rise tenfold since it began a partnership with Lazada in June, but online still represents just 1-2 percent of total sales.

Saha is using e-commerce data to customize offerings.

“We now make real-time offerings to customers. Before, promotions would be seasonal,” Chairman Boonsithi Chokwatana told Reuters.

The company, whose products include instant noodles, toothpaste and laundry detergent, is investing 2 billion baht ($ 60 million) in logistics to support its e-commerce ambitions, including a 21-storey warehouse and a big data team, he said.

OASIS Starts Context Server (CXS) Initiative to Advance Standards for Personalized User Experiences Online

(PRWEB) June 04, 2015

The OASIS open standards consortium announced the start of an initiative for delivering personalized user experiences online. Standards developed by the new OASIS Context Server (CXS) Technical Committee will provide companies with more effective ways to engage with their audiences and will give users more control over the data that’s collected on them.

The Context Server will simplify management, integration, and interoperability for WCM, Big Data, CRM, Digital Marketing, and Data Management Platforms. CXS will enable data on user behavior to be collected and aggregated into profiles and user segments to be defined based on demographics. Third party WCM systems will be able to tag and serve content based on these segments. Marketing systems will access profiles and compile lists for campaigns using CXS. Users will have the ability to control their collected data and safeguard their desired level of privacy by accessing the Context Server.

“Organizations are struggling to create consistent personalized experiences across channels, markets, and systems,” said Serge Huber of Jahia, co-chair of the OASIS CXS Technical Committee. “The Context Server will make it possible to deliver personalization in a simple, interoperable way.”

“CXS will speed up vendor innovation and reduce integration costs,” added Thomas Sigdestad of Enonic, who also co-chairs the Committee. “A widely adopted standard will expand the broader market by making it easier to ramp up new products, integrate with existing systems, and grow niche opportunities into new market areas.”

To encourage more Marketing Automation vendors to join the CXS effort, OASIS will host two brief webinars on June 15 at 15:00 CET (09:00 EDT, 06:00 PDT) and at 21:30 CET (15:30 EDT, 12:30 PDT). Register at https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/rt/5164201973309833730.

New members are encouraged to join the OASIS CXS Technical Committee at any time. Archives of the work are accessible to both members and non-members, and OASIS invites public review and comment on the work.

Support for CXS

Jahia

“At Jahia, as initial proposers of the OASIS Context Server TC, we are very excited to chair the effort and put all our efforts behind this personalization standard which we hope will make it possible to build a more transparent web. We fully support the OASIS Context Server TC and will also propose our current implementation to be submitted at the Apache Software Foundation,” said Serge Huber, CTO, Jahia Solutions.

Progress

“The complexity of understanding the customer journey is spanning more channels and systems than ever before,” said Svetozar Georgiev, SVP, Application Platforms of Telerik, a Progress Company. “The development of more standards will enable organizations to more easily gain a complete picture of their interactions with clients to drive better marketing, and overall all business results.”

E-retailing remains a profitable Internet business, but heavy promotional support is generally necessary to beat competition and create profit. Behind the comprehensive online web catalogues that advertise us all manner of things, there lies a huge amount of work to support not only the web page as such, but to run continual market analysis and have a realistic picture of where the business stands on the e-market. A pertinent example here would be that of analysing the first-page search results on engines like Google and Yahoo.

The Internet business with the highest likelihood to complete a transaction is the one that appears first when a visitor types a keyword in the search box of the search engine. Therefore, the big competition between the various companies active online is to have a high page rank and a proper representation in the search engines.

This can only be achieved by the professional support of the web pages and constant monitoring of the site performance, according to the number of visitors and the resulting transactions.

Just like as real-life money-making opportunities, an Internet business requires careful planning. Therefore, one targets the market, gathers information on the competition, ensures good resources, attracts finances and funds, if necessary and takes the measures that build customers’ loyalty. Furthermore, depending on the type of product or service offered, the Internet business could require a strategic alliance with other partners.

Consequently, for every Internet business idea you get, you need to learn whether there is a market for it. Then, if you lack the budget to invest, you need to find alternative financing options to support you entrepreneurial aspirations. And finally, you should never neglect web site investment.

The design and constant support that keeps the Internet business running could cost you a small monthly treasure. Nevertheless, the website is the interface, the place where the customer comes into contact with your product or service, and the impression has to be one of the best. All the best!

Affiliate Network – How You Will Get Paid

The internet has come a long way since its early days. This has lead to more individuals turning to the internet to generate additional revenue streams. Many of these new internet marketers have discovered that an affiliate network is the place for an individual with no products or services of their own to sell. Basically, an affiliate network is an online venue who brings advertisers into contact with internet marketers, also known as affiliates, to market their products in exchange for a commission. Such an exchange is common what is referred to as affiliate marketing.

The great think about affiliate marketing is that it sets expectations very clearly for all parties involved. Essentially, it really sets the stage for the performance under what is in all honesty a contractual agreement. The affiliate is aware that the advertiser is willing to offer (X) is they perform (Y). Hence, an affiliate who owns no product or service can generate a substantial revenue for promoting offers which belong to others. Moreover, advertisers who need exposure to their offers, but do not have the budget to spend on an advertising campaign which proves to be fruitless can pay affiliates only when they perform. However, how affiliates are paid will be determined by the structure which is utilized.

The following cover the four most common compensation methods which are utilized by affiliate marketing:

1. Cost Per Sale or CPS: Cost per sale is a very straight forward method of affiliate marketing. There are rarely any misunderstanding which are not self-inflicted with this means of compensation. Essentially, affiliates are provided with a tracking link which is unique to them. If the product or service is being promoted via an affiliate network, this link will be provided by the network. Otherwise, it will be provided by the advertiser themselves. Each time a sales is made through the affiliate’s link, the affiliate receives credit for a conversion, and a predetermined commission is allocated to that affiliate’s account. The term “Cost Per Sale” refers to the expense which is incurred by the advertiser for the sale. Thus, if a product is $30 total, and the affiliate is compensated $18 for each sale, the CPS would equal $18. However, one thing that you should notice is that the advertiser only pays an affiliate for sales which are made, meaning that the advertiser too is making money. This is a great structure for advertisers who do not have the bandwidth sink money into advertising which might not produce results.

2. Cost Per Action or CPA: Cost Per Action is a little bit more flexible in that the actual “action” which is compensated is determined by the advertiser. Essentially, all three of the other forms of affiliate compensation can fit within this definition. For example, if the “action” to be completed is a sale, then this would fit the definition of “Cost Per Sale”. Thus, CPA gives the advertiser and affiliate the flexibility to determine and agree upon what constitutes an action.

3. Cost Per Mille or CPM: This form of compensation is actually quite popular. However, I do not like it, at least from the standpoint of the affiliate network, because there is no really good way to measure the quality of the traffic. Essentially, how it works, is that for every thousand visitors which are sent to the advertiser by an affiliate, the affiliate is compensated in a predetermined amount.

4. Pay Per Click or PPC: This is probably something which you are familiar with due to the popularity of Google Adwords and Adsense. It pretty much falls under the same set of rules. You place an advertiser’s link on your blog or website, and each time a visitor clicks the link, you are a predetermined amount of money.

There you have it. The four most common affiliate network structures. Nonetheless, I must inform you that while affiliate programs can be very lucrative, you have to approach them in the right manner. Do not simply throw traffic at your unique link and hope for sales. The truth is that very few buyers make a sale on their first contact with your website. Thus, it is important to provide your visitors with an incentive to provide you with their email address, and build your customer list. Thereafter, you can market to your growing customer list for years to come.

Before joining an Affiliate Network, make sure that you are well aware of how you will be paid. The reality is that a number of Affiliate Programs better lend themselves to a particular structure. Four main methods were covered by this article. Make sure that come and see us at SOSComplete.com

Make Money Online – It’s in The List

If you plan to make money online, there are some things that you should know about email list building. As soon as are able to grasp the value of email marketing, you will clearly understand why you need to implement it. Whether you run an e-commerce website, or an informative blog, you need to have a way to contact your visitors in the future. You can do this by giving them the opportunity to provide you with their email address.

Often times I see a heavy focus on the part of new internet marketers to get traffic to their website. While traffic is important, the fact of the matter is that most buyers do not make an impulse decision to purchase. In fact, statistics show that it generally takes at least seven contacts with a company for a buyer to ultimately make a decision to purchase. Therefore, it is important that you website or blog not only provide its visitors with a means to provide their name and email address, but also a reason. Think about this. It is widely believed in internet marketing that every subscriber on your email list essentially adds up to you earning $1 per month. Therefore if your email list have 10,000 subscribers, you should earn $10,000 per month.

Sounds good right? So how do we go about building this list? There are a few things that you can do. For example, you can add a signup form to your website. While this is somewhat effective, I do not think it is bold enough. I prefer the option of actually having the opt in form float in from the top of the screen in the form of a box. This is what I use on my websites, as can be demonstrated by clicking the link at the end of this article. As you can see, there is no way that you can miss that. Also, you can see what I offer to visitors who provide me with their email address. Nothing but high value.

One thing that I also like to point out to my visitors, is that their email address will not be shared with anyone. I strongly suggest that you do the same, and keep your word. Your visitors get swarmed with spam daily, it is nice to know that they will only be receiving information which means something to them.

I know that earlier I mentioned that each person on your email list should equate to about $1 per month. With that being said, make sure that you do not merely focus on getting as money generic people to subscribe to your list as possible. Do not fall into the trap of purchasing email lists. These lists are at best just below lukewarm. You want to maintain a responsive email list with people who will be interested in what you are selling. If you do decide to purchase an email list, just make sure that you do your research. There are so many companies out there who are in the business of taking money, and providing little value.

With that being said, it is my opinion that purchasing an email list leaves a lot to be desired, even if you are dealing with a legitimate company. Remember, the main reason why people on your email list will be responsive to what you offer them is because of your relationship with them. You will have a much more difficult time developing a relationship with a subscriber who was handing off to you from someone else. Those who make money online and have the most success have developed their own email list. I strongly suggest that you do the same.

Building your email list is important if you want to Make Money Online. The most successful Make Money At Home entrepreneurs understand why it is important to build your list. Check out what we do at SOSComplete.com

Search Engine Optimization Services SEO Manchester

By learning and understanding search engine optimization, one can increase the amount of traffic to his or her website. SEO Manchester is a great way to implement this practice. Ensuring the highest ranking possible is based on many factors, but it is crucial to the life of the site. Using these services can help an individual in creating a search engine friendly page.

Before doing anything, one should concentrate on in what direction his or her site is meant to go, such as what her or she will be selling or promoting. Once equipped with this knowledge, he or she can come up with keywords that coincide with this direction. These words should be chosen carefully; the words should directly coincide with one’s site so as not to avoid allegations of spamming.

If one can choose keyword phrases beforehand, that is great. Then he or she can build a site geared towards the keyword phrases. It is important not to overuse the keyword phrases because that can be considered spam, as well. When found on one site, the keyword phrases must sound natural and should be ranked in one’s Meta tags from most to least important.

The Meta description is perhaps one of the most important steps of all. What people see when results pages are shown on a search page are small snippets of what each site contains. This snippet is called the Meta description. It should be as short as possible and describe to the letter what the site contains.

Sometimes there is a single phrase that will sum up the whole site. This should be considered for placement in the title of the site and in the URL. This will cause the site’s ranking to jump considerably, especially if the keyword is true to the nature of the site.

Once one has all of this in place, it is time to add the actual content to the site. Search engines are created to not only search keywords, titles, and URLs, but also the content of the site. The more quality the content that one’s site has, the better the chances of ranking higher and increasing one’s visitors.

Once within the first ten seconds, and then also at the very end, along with your call to action. When doing this, do not ever lose sight of the fact that you are doing all of this to make money online. Therefore, all of your actions must line up with your end strategy.

How To Make Money – Start By Revamping Your Sales Page

Are you trying to figure out how to make money by selling a product which you know will be extremely helpful to your niche market? If this sounds like you, there exists a school of thought which believes the actual creation of the product is the most difficult step of the process, leaving just the sales page to be created. Conversely, there exists another faction of thought which believes that the creation of an effective sales page is most challenging. This article is geared towards the latter assertion, and will provide you with some outstanding ideas to maximize the sales of your product, via your sales page.

Of the entire sales page, the headline is arguable most important. You see, this is the first thing which your visitor will see when they land on your page. As such, it must immediately grab the viewer’s attention, and compel them to explore further down the page. Thus, it is extremely important that you spend ample time on your headline. Draw attention to your headline by giving it a larger font, bold color, and perhaps even font style. It has been proven that the most effective colors are dark blue and dark red.

Aside from the aesthetics of your headline, you must also look closely at the actual message. Remember that your headline is going to set the stage for the remainder of your sales letter. Therefore, it is important that you use dialect which compels the reader to take action such as, incredible, exciting, now, get, etc. Such words stir excitement in the buyer, and tell them that they are in the right place.

With that being said, never underestimate the importance of the human element. People want to purchase from people who they know and trust. One of the best things that you can do for your sales page, other than crafting an outstanding headline, is to let them know who they are buying from. In other words, put a picture of your face on your sales page. You have no idea how far something as simple as being able to put a face with a product goes in terms of instilling trust and assurance with the end buyer. Of course, where you position your face shot is critical. My suggestion is that you place it at the top of the page. This way the buyer can envision an actual person speaking to them as they make their way through your sales copy.

Another thing that you should realize is that while your potential buyer makes their way through your sales letter, they will be formulating an opinion as to how much your product is worth. Consequently, it is critical that you put the reader in a frame of mind where they can see the product being worth far more than what you are charging. Lay out for the reader the list of advantages that they will be gaining from your product. Let the reader know that while you could have charged (X) amount of dollars for this product, and still been providing a bargain, you are only charging this amount. When you reveal the price to the buyer, they should feel as though they are about to commit robbery upon you by purchasing your product at such a low price.

There you have it. Some of the most important steps to creating a compelling sales letter. Of course, we have not discussed every single aspect that goes into a highly successful sales letter in this one article. The fact of the matter is that certain aspects of your sales letter will pertain directly to your niche market. Nevertheless, if you want to know how to make money with your product by converting more sales, start with the steps outlined here.

Running a Profitable PPC Campaign

Pay-per-click marketing, otherwise known as PPC marketing is a way to advertise on the internet. The ads can be shown in advertising networks, on websites, and on search engine results pages. However, the advertiser only pays a fee when the ad is clicked on by someone who wants to visit the advertiser’s website. Businesses use PPC marketing to increase conversions or sales from their targeted demographic through their website.

Here’s one of the ways PPC works, business design a short ad that links to their website when it’s clicked on. The publisher makes sure the ad pops up when a certain keyword, from a predetermined list made by the advertiser, is input into a search engine. Then the advertiser pays a fee every time someone clicks on the ad after searching for a particular word or phrase. This allows for advertisers to pay for better visibility on a search engine results page regardless of where they naturally rank in search engines when certain keywords are entered. The paid search results are usually shown as the top few ads on the search results page as well as the ads shown down the left side of the page. The goal of PPC is to get the most conversions for the lowest price. There are 2 ways to do this: bid based PPC and flat rate PPC.

Bid-based PPC management is where businesses who are competing for the higher positioning of their ad amongst the ads of their competitors who are targeting the same keywords bid on how much they will pay per click on their ad. The higher the bid, the higher the position. However, the exact position is also determined by the quality of the ad and the web page it links to. The advertisers tell the publisher the maximum amount they will pay for their ad every time it’s clicked on after a certain keyword is entered. Then the publisher determines which position to publish the ad after factoring in the other bids and the quality score of their websites. This is constantly being adjusted as more advertiser bid or change their bids. The advertisers only pay the rate based on the rate which the keyword went for. These rates are the minimal rates and the advertiser can certainly pay more to get more exposure.

Flat rate PPC marketing consists of the publisher and the advertiser agreeing on a fixed amount in advance. The advertisers pay the same fixed fee every time their ad is clicked on. Flat rate PPC is usually found on content sites. Some publishers like to use flat rate PPC over bid based PPC to avoid the constant adjusting of pricing in very little amounts by advertisers who are trying to win a bid and pay slightly less per click.

PPC management is a more results-oriented and interactive way of advertising instead of just placing a banner advertisement on a website. One of the benefits of PPC is being able to track the visitor’s behavior. Being able to obtain this type of information about your visitors means you will know what tools you need to make your site perform better. Also, is very important to consider the structure of your site when you are planning a PPC campaign. Since you are paying for your visitors to arrive you should make sure the landing pages are search engine friendly and easy to navigate. To reduce your cost per click make sure you use targeted advertising. These are all things to help you direct qualified traffic to your website in order to make sure your PPC campaign is operating at it’s peak performance.

Using pay-per-click management in search engines is a highly cost-effective way to attract cheap, targeted website traffic.

Autopilot Profits

I’ve been an Internet marketer for quite a few years and I own a few different sorts of online business ventures. However, being a sole trader, working on my own and necessarily having only a limited number of hours per day, my business interests also have their natural limitations. After all, it stands to reason, that one person can only spend roughly 16 hours a day and even then no one can keep to that pace for a long time.

Therefore, the size of an undertaking is governed by the number of people working for it or put another way, the number of man-hours devoted in to it. I suppose that what I’m trying to say is that it’s hard to make a good living when you work on your own.

And so, with this in mind, I have been looking for methods to automate parts of my business for a long time. I have already taken several steps in this direction. For example: I gave up writing HTML ‘by hand’ a long time ago and bought a super editor, which I may tell you about one day; I moved to a web-hosting company that offers unlimited autoresponders amongst other features and I am hiring some fantastic article submission software.

However, that left me with no more time nor money than before, although I was operating several times as many websites as before and still doing it all on my own. I knew that there must be something I was missing, but I didn’t know what it was.

Then, one day, while surfing, I came across an article on the subject and it sort of made sense, no cataclysmic flash or anything like of that sort, but a slow understanding over a few hours that the article was talking about something like I wanted it to be.

Anyway, I bought the ebook and have followed its advice since then without looking back. I now work about the same hours as before, but I run ten times as many websites and the money is far better.

How come? Well, the fact is that this ebook showed me how to interlock all the aspects of promoting and developing websites, so that they can take care of themselves for greater periods of time. The time I used to spend on tinkering with websites and SEO to correct minor errors or things I’d omitted, I now put into new ideas.

My websites, once set up, now require fairly little maintenance, which means that I can do something else with my time. I choose to work, but others could choose to take the time off. It’s really difficult to think of a better deal.

This intriguing ebook on automating your profits will give you at least a day out of five off and maybe even more and that makes it worth looking into on its own right. The ebook is fully guaranteed for 90 days, with a full money-back guarantee, so you have nothing to lose. However, I promise you that you will learn how to put your Internet business profits on autopilot and learn how to use your time more skilfully.

Are you in Internet marketing? If so, you need to publish articles, so you need to check out this site Internet marketing. This article, Autopilot Profits is available for free reprint.

You will not get rich overnight unless your rich aunt names you as the sole recipient of her estate, or you win the lottery.

Make Money At Home – Discover Social Bookmarking

If anyone reading this article plans to make money at home, but has not engaged in social bookmarking, they have been selling themselves short. However, it is time to change all of that. What I plan to do, is detail exactly why social bookmarking is so important to you online business, namely your website. For the most part, social bookmarking involves saving links to all of your favorite content webpages on a social bookmarking website, so that you can easily to back to that page in the future. Additionally, you can choose to make that link searchable by all users of the social bookmarking website.

As stated above, other users of a social bookmarking website are able to search and find the websites which you have bookmarked. The “tag”, otherwise known as keywords, which you use to label the topic of the bookmark are searchable. Thus, if you were to tag a website with the term “make money at home”, others would be able to find this tag by searching this term.

Of course, not all of the benefits of social bookmarking websites take place merely on the social bookmarking websites. For instance, if you have a website or a blog, and you were to bookmark a page on either, that bookmark would create a direct link to that page. There are two major reasons why this is important. The first reason why each bookmark is important is because each bookmark creates a relevant one way link to your web page, which is tagged with keywords which are relevant to your website. This tells the search engines that your web page is relevant to that keyword, which increases your ranking in the search engines for that keyword. The second reason why each bookmark is important is because the bookmarks themselves can be indexed by the search engines. Due to the fact that many social bookmarking websites have a very high amount of authority with the search engines, these bookmarks often receive very high rankings very quickly in the search engines. Just make sure that you place the keyword at the beginning of the title of the bookmark, and tag it appropriately.

The good news is that there are a great deal of social bookmarking websites online nowadays. However, in order to submit your webpages, you almost always must register. Furthermore, each time that you plan to submit a bookmark, you will need to log into each social bookmarking website, and add your bookmarks one by one. Unfortunately, this is far too impractical for most people. In fact, I am one of those people. This is why I use software which automates the process for me. For instance, I have eight websites for which I write new articles six days per week. Each day I submit each article to about forty different social bookmarking websites. You do the math. However, the total process takes me about 30 minutes since I utilize software which I purchased for less than thirty dollars. Make sure that you stay sane, and use software to complete this task.

Nonetheless, you should realize that they key to an effective social bookmarking strategy revolves around well-written, unique content, which targets your niche market. Often times social bookmarking websites base the popularity of a content submission upon how many other individuals have affirmed that the content is valuable. When a social bookmark becomes popular, it gains more exposure and is more prominently displayed on the social bookmarking website. Thus, if you wish to make money at home by gaining greater exposure for your website, focus on creating valuable, niche specific content first.

While it is very possible to Make Money At Home without social bookmarking, it would be careless not to utilize it? The truth is that most entrepreneurs who successfully Make Money Online use social bookmarking as part of their overall strategy. Come and see us at SOSComplete.com
