To get the most gains out of your penny stock investments, it’s important that you pick up information about certain companies before the news hits the primary media stream.    As soon as word is generated about a company, the price of the penny stock soars until it no longer falls in the category of penny stocks at all.  So how do you get this kind of information if the media isn’t disseminating it to the public yet?

You must do your own due dilligence on the penny stock.As penny stocks are not followed by the main stream mutual funds you can usually get in before they do.
You have to become an investigator of sorts and figure out which companies have the best opportunity for you to profit from an investment of their penny stocks.  Sometimes you’ll get wind of a small news item where stocks aren’t even mentioned and it gives you just enough information to leverage an investment of penny stock before the company starts heavily promoting their stocks in connection with the news.

In order to amass a fortune in penny stocks it does mean you are going to have to take big chances. .  Some investors prefer to wait and see what will happen with a company before they buy stock.

This kind of approach nullifies the opportunity they have to take advantage of the low stock cost, because once investors know for sure that a company is on the rise, everyone will be scrambling for a share and the stock prices will rapidly climb.

One way to stay abreast of up-and-coming penny stock companies is to join one of the many penny stock advice forums on the Internet and watch what others have to say about the choices available to penny stock investors.
Always make sure you do your own investigation into the company as well, but having other investors with a like-minded attitude can help you learn what to look for before shelling out too much money as a junior.

Over the last month a new website created by 21 year old student (Alex Tew) has had a phenomenal impact on the internet advertising world. You may have heard of milliondollarhomepage.com. If not, it is a very simple concept for online advertising. Advertisers can buy pixels on the homepage for $1 a pixel. The minimum order is 100 pixels and with this the advertiser gets a small image that links from the Milliondollarhomepage to the advertiser’s site.

Now this alone isn’t what made the site successful. Granted it’s a unique twist on internet advertising, but lets be honest it’s hardly remarkable. People have been selling spaces for banners on websites for years. For this site to be successful it needed one key ingredient, and that is traffic. Hundreds of thousands of people needed to visit this site to give the advertisers value for money.

So the young student who came up with the idea submitted a press release, and sold a story like any good marketer would. How he was only 21 and came up with this simple website to pay his way through university. Fortunately for him the worlds press found his release and published it, as it was a good story. This meant more people visited the site, and the website traffic increased. In turn more journalists picked up on the story and published it. The result was a viral explosion in traffic which meant many people bought advertising space and it is fair to say the site has been highly successful.

So is this the new advertising medium of the internet? I am afraid this author doesn’t believe so. Once the hype starts to die down, and the story is no longer new, the press will begin to publish fewer articles on it, and less people will visit the site. This in turn will lead to even fewer articles being published in the worlds press, leading to even fewer visitors. This cycle will continue and what originally made this website successful (viral marketing) will ultimately lead to its death.

What can internet marketers learn from this? The best way to promote any new internet venture is to make an interesting story about it, submit articles and press releases, and if the story is good enough, watch the viral explosion in visitors.

Of course for long term growth the new site or service has to be good enough to provide value to visitors, and not just a fad that captures people’s short term interest. I wish Alex Tew all the best, but I think he too will accept that this is not a long term business that can go anywhere from here.

Would you like to rake in $10,466 per month without having your own products? If you would like to then read on…

1. So What Is It?

It is called affiliate marketing. It, as a matter of fact, is one of the easiest and fastest ways to start your online business and rake in thousands of dollars every month.

2. What’s Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing simply to say is promoting other people’s product and in return you’ll get certain percentage of the merchant’s item if and only people who buy the merchant’s item buy through your link.

So we can say some sort of online multi level marketing.

Why I said that? Because many of these programs have 2-tier which means you can refer another affiliate below you. Whenever he or she makes sales you’ll get certain percentage of those sales.

3. How do I get started?

Well, first off, you have to identify which niche you want in? For example if you are a maniac golfer, then the chance you’re more likely to promote golf equipment rather than fishing equipment.

Then estimate the competition, go to Google and type in your appropriate term for example “beginner golf guide” and see how much sites on that subject already exist?

For me personally, I don’t care much about the competition if you have more crowded competition that means you’ll need to wait longer to make profits and so vice versa. It’s just that simple.

However, be sure to do something you really love, because in the end it will be life and death of your business.

4. Let’s Find The “Eager-To-Give You Money” Merchant

Some of the best are:

5. Skyscraper Website versus “Mini” Content Site

As the time writing, there’re 2 current opinions:

The first state in order to get money from affiliate program you have to build skyscraper site and fill it with hundreds of content while

The second state in order to get money from affiliate program you have to build multiple stream of mini site

Which one that works?

Both work, it is ultimately up to you which one you want to adopt for example of the first one in action you can see www.sage-hearts.com which has been running by Rosalind Gardner while the second one you can see www.dominatesearchengine.com which has been running by Anik Singal (Actually, I haven’t ask their permission to cover their web site in this article but I bet they wouldn’t mind)

Both is very respected and highly acclaimed both affiliate marketer and internet marketer.

Here’re the pros and cons:

If you decide to build mini site then you’ll have to forget the possibility of getting traffic from generic search engine.

If you decide to build skyscraper content site then you’ll have to invest considerable amount of time and energy to build it.

Don’t re-invent the wheel there’s no point in doing so just follow what already works. Examine both of their sites carefully and see which part you can adapt to your business model. (But mark my words don’t copy them words-by-words!)

6. Ready to Drive Traffic?

Now you have proven business model at your disposal, it is the time to drive traffic to your site. I’d recommend first off you start by going to build reciprocal link campaign. Reciprocal link is the act of exchanging link between two sites in hope to send traffic to each other.

Let’s put it into action…

Once again type in your keywords on search engine, next click on each of the site you found, if you like this site then examine it carefully. Are they having something like “submit URL” or “add URL”?

If they have click on the link there should be simple self-explanatory instruction to exchange your link with that website but what if they didn’t have one? Just contact them through email or phone and ask if they’re willing to do reciprocal link with you.

What’s great about this method? Here’s what will happen…

Let’s say after doing reciprocal link for one month in the end of the month you get 30 links. Each one refer one people per day to your site, now you already have 30 people visit your site without you doing a thing. In one month you will get 900 people visit your site on completely auto pilot. That’s the beauty of reciprocal link-)

What happen if you can manage to get 200 links?

7. Final Note

Like any of other endeavors if you expect some results it means hard work and persistence. Don’t expect result in a week I tell you that wouldn’t happen but expect in a year or so. Trust me though it seems long far away at the beginning but in the end your perseverance will pay off many times.
