Can you imagine what it would be like to leverage the Google search network for as little as 1p per click? If you can’t imagine what it would do to your business then read what it would do to mine and apply the same patterns of thought to your business model: As an affiliate marketer, I can literally go to Clickbank, find a product that looks captivating, has a good sales pitch, and resides in a hungry niche, get my hoplink (affiliate URL), create an ultra-targetted ad in Google Adwords and direct hugely targetted traffic directly to the landing page. That means for the sake of 20 minutes work, I am now directing thousands of visitors at my affiliate link for huge profit margins. To put this into context, let’s assume that the product I’m affiliated with is a 40 product and the merchant is giving out 50% commission on each transaction. That means for each successful conversion, I’ll take 20 home with me. Now, If I’m getting traffic from Google at 1p per click then in theory only 1 person in 2,000 needs to purchase the product for me to break even. My experience with affiliate marketing is that a landing page with a great sales page and product typically converts at 1-2% IF you’ve targetted the Google Ad with the right keywords. This percentage can go up to as high as 10% if you can get in for keywords such as “buy product x” etc. But for the sake of this explanation, let’s assume that the product converts at 1%. This means that I’ll make 20 sales in 2000 visits to the site. That means I’ll make 400 in sales and my net profit will be 400 minus 20 (the cost to send the traffic) so 380. Not bad for a day’s work.
Now consider this. If you’re a merchant and have your own product, then you can double the profit using the same tactic because you can take all the money home yourself and you don’t need to pay an affiliate! Anyway, Why am I telling you all this? I am in the middle of reviewing a new product that was launched in November 2009 that promises to give you a Google Adwords CPC of 1 – 2p. Even though it sounds to good to be true, I have invested in the product and will be reviewing over the course of the coming week. The early signs are good, and I’m getting excited about it!! The full series of review videos can be watched on YouTube – you owe it to yourself to at least investigate this because it could be a massive money making strategy. Remember, Google Adwords is bid-driven system which means you are actively competing against the next bidder for the lowest Cost per Clicks. If you want to get ahead of the next guy then it’s important to have an effective Adwords strategy and remember, when this system gets into the mainstream, you’ll be the one who gets left behind! My full written review is to follow here shortly too, so stay tuned!

When you’re looking for an online business, you want to compile a list of the best home business ideas before you begin. By having a list handy you will be able to conduct the research necessary to find what you need. You will also save time because you won’t have to research to find the best home business ideas if you have the information in front of you. It’s always better to make a decision about operating a home business in enough time to allow for preliminary research instead of attempting to make a last minute decision and rushing through the process. When you begin to evaluate the best home business ideas you want to also analyze your own needs. The questions you want to ask include what you are seeking in a home business, how much money you hope to make and how much time you have to devote to the business venture. When you have the answers to those questions you will be in a better position to determine the type of home business that will work best for you. From there you can then go through your list of the best home business ideas to find what fits within your criteria. From there you will choose the business venture that most closely matches your needs and expectations. Is it really important to define your own needs before you begin looking at your list of the best home business ideas? There is no way you can make a decision regarding a home business idea until you have clearly defined what you are seeking. It is easy to say you just want to make some extra money, but how do you want to do that? How much time do you have to devote to both promoting and operating a business idea? All of these are essential parts of your puzzle and are necessary in determining which business ideas will work for you. If you only have a couple of hours a day to devote to operating and promoting your business you don’t want to become involved with something that requires four or five hours a day in order to become a successful venture.What translates into the best home business ideas for you may not be the same ones that appeal to your friends, neighbors and co-workers. For that reason you do not want to talk to them about any more than knowledge they may have about the best home business ideas. You can certainly listen to their opinions but do not base your decision on anything someone else has told you. You must conduct your own research and make a decision based on your own needs and not what anyone else thinks you should do. Remember, this is your business venture and you must do what is right for you if you expect to be successful. You want to choose something in which you have both an interest and expertise in order to achieve the greatest success.

Low cost competitors, who offer “good enough” products and services at very attractive prices, are currently significantly impacting the businesses of many leading companies, and some are starting to “move up” to challenge the traditional companies in their core markets. It’s only a matter of time before most companies will feel the pressure from these aggressive, cut-price competitors. Beating Low Cost Competition   offers a step–by–step structured approach to help executives in traditional companies with premium brands think through the options for responding to their low cost rivals and select the most appropriate strategy to win in their chosen markets. By examining a wide-ranging group of companies from around the world, Adrian Ryans provides numerous examples of how different companies in different industries have responded to low cost competitors and analyses the effectiveness of their strategies. He also discusses the leadership and cultural challenges that many companies are facing as they take steps to respond to their low cost rivals. Ultimately, the insights gained from this book will lead to better and more profitable business decisions. . Adrian Ryans is Professor of Marketing and Strategy at IMD, Lausanne, Switzerland. He has designed and taught on executive programs for organizations in North America, Europe, Australia and Asia, including GE, Bank of Montreal, Medtronic, Deloitte, Borealis, Saurer, Vestas, IBM, Boeing, National Semiconductor, BioWare, ASML, Holcim, Varian, Hoechst, Amgen, Fluke, LSI Logic, Hutchison Port Holdings and Qualcomm. He has also acted as a consultant for a number of leading global corporations.
